It's "pom-pon" not "pom pom".

Actually no... It's correct both ways.

 

[this guy]

I call this gamertag!

EDIT: ...

I'll buy it for a high price!

 

[painey]

god, I would kill to get an original name that was taken by an xbox 1 member and has been inactive for years.

 

[OverHeat]

My GT is OverHeat since the beta of Live on the first XBOX.

 

[MMaRsu]

Oh well I signed up just now.. probably won't get in but whatever..

I hope so though .

I might want to grab MMaRsu.. my old gamertag. Do I have to pay 800MSP to get my old name back though? :\

I would have thought so. Pants, but think it means that they are just available again.

Edit. .

If you were to change your current tag that is, which i'm guessing you do.

 

[Flunkie]

Good, maybe I can drop the "44" at the end of my name now.

 

[soul creator]

yeah, I lost my "soul creator" tag back during the Great Xbox 1 to Xbox 360 Expired Credit Card Transition Snafu of 2005

Damn mine still says "Participating"

 

[Gorki247]

Damn mine still says "Participating"

Check the actual page (click the Xbox LIVE Update Preview link on your Connect Dashboard); I don't think the actual status changes, but the details on page do.

 

[Eric WK]

Damn mine still says "Participating"

Did you actually click on "Xbox LIVE Update Preview"?

Mine says participating on the home page, but when I go to the Xbox LIVE Update Preview page it says I've been accepted.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Mine has that same message now too.

 

[DaPHanTomMeNace]

[Moundir&Tony>you]

Apparently I got in too, will check tonight if they emailed me.

 

[Nightz]

Sweet I got accepted!

 

[Fistula]

Got in, I think beta/preview just means staggered rollout so their servers don't get slammed on the 11th of August.

 

[Gorki247]

When will you receive the update?
We are working on the final touches for the update. You will receive a notification by email when the update is available.

I'll guess this means they'll send out the e-mail once the update is available, so hopefully later this afternoon.

 

[Chinner]

[MoogPaul]
