I'm in. I didn't realize they were doing another one.
I'm in, do we have any hints on what it might look like?
Ah, okay! Im always so delighted when new things roll out, so hopefully we'll get it soon.
You can use smartglass to delete stuff on the HDD? OMG, mind blown
But will I still have ads?
I got a bunch of 800 msp i need to add to my xbox...how long till these babies stop working?
Not seeing anything...probably a Canada thing again,we are so far from the US...***rolls eyes***....
Thinking about participating for the first time ever. What kind of problem did you guys have with previous dashboard betas?

Just got in, in Canada. Pain in the arse.
Really? Pretty easy and much better than the way it used to be.
Do we get the download for this immediaely or is it coming later. I'll try this out when I get home in 1 hour.
I’ve signed up but haven’t received the update. Why?
It will take up to two business days (Monday-Friday) for the update to download to your console once you’ve completed the on-console registration application. You'll know you’ve gotten the update and you’re in the beta when you see the “beta” channel on your Dashboard.
Note You are required to agree to a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for confidentiality reasons. Any participant who violates the NDA will be removed from the beta, be barred from future Xbox betas, and not have access to Xbox LIVE until the end of the beta program period. Your NDA does apply to posting in the public forums. Make sure not to post any feedback, comments, or suggestions about the beta there!

What will happen to Microsoft Points Cards?
Microsoft Points Cards will continue to be redeemable on your console and on Xbox.com throughout 2014 and for a limited time thereafter but will be discontinued after the launch of Xbox Gift Cards this fall. Please note that any funds we deposit into your account at the time of the transition will expire one year from the deposit date. Xbox Gift Cards, which will be denominated in your local currency, will be available for purchase in retail stores and through online retailers.
What if I have codes and/or Microsoft Points Cards that I haven’t redeemed?
Go ahead and redeem them! Even after your account transitions, we’ll still accept purchased Microsoft Points Cards and codes through 2014 and for a limited time thereafter, and we’ll credit you an amount of currency equal to or greater than the Marketplace value of those points as we phase out the Microsoft Points program.

Screw that. I'm not going to help them phase out MSP which they're gonna make disappear from my account after a year.
Yeah. It is really stupid to sign up for this beta. Let them sort their shit out first.
Yeah, sorry, they are using forced translation of 60% dashboard since the last update. Sucks ass but that's the way it is.
EDIT: And in case anyone missed it:
HOW TO REFRESH YOUR DASHBOARD
Open guide
Hold RT and press Y
Dashboard will reload and you will see any new tiles etc
I'm in Canada and had no problem signing up. Did a refresh and it was right on the start screen.Not seeing anything...probably a Canada thing again,we are so far from the US...***rolls eyes***....

Man so much MS hate. I like the dash changes, makes it feel like i'm using a brand new system. and the ad's never seemed to bother me. to each their own.
Not really, that's why it requires improvement.
You can use it as a remote control of your dashboard, so you just swipe around on your tablet but have to check your dashboard on your TV screen (I could do it with a regular gamepad, but the tablet is better for multitasking). That's why I use PIP on my TV to do something else while files are downloaded or moved from HDD to USB key etc, but it would be much better if I could see my dashboard screen on my tablet, instead of only the ABCD buttons, and I wouldn't need the PIP any more.
The purchased funds you deposit into your account after the transition will not expire. However, the funds we deposit into your account at the time of the transition will expire one year from the deposit date.
Even after your account transitions, we’ll still accept purchased Microsoft Points Cards and codes through 2014 and for a limited time thereafter, and we’ll credit you an amount of currency equal to or greater than the Marketplace value of those points as we phase out the Microsoft Points program.

I've got that as well (plus the code to make up for the fact the disc was unplayable after an update. Been meaning to sell/trade that) and some of the avatar stuff, like that helmet. I'm gonna assume we'll get another avatar prop or shirt again.wonder if we will get any freebies, I still have my Halo Reach disc from way back that they gave us.
