The NXE (New Xbox Experience) is being opened up to some lucky people this Friday, but not me. Seems that while the promise of registering on the Microsoft Connect site and then registering for the NXE Preview program was supposed to be a pretty good bet to get in, it was not.
Looking at the forums it seems that if you are outside of the United States and even if you just have a silver account (read: not even a paid member of the service) then you get in. The people like me who have been on Xbox Live since the beginning (5 years and counting) well there are about 300 posts from people like me who didn’t get in.
The NXE is being released for everyone on November 19th.
You ever feel that sometimes they are just collecting your information when they do things like this? Or is that paranoid?
I got in and I don’t even have an xbox!
But seriously, it sounds like you’re getting an excellent “xbox experience”!
Yeah, I don’t know why I expected anything less from Microsoft. They have my money, why give me anything? This is all in the wake of them giving away the content I paid $10 for with Fable 2, so lately I’m going to have to steal your pun and say I’m having an awesome “xbox experience”.
