Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Apparently you can sign up for the Dashboard update preview here:
http://majornelson.com/archive/2010/09/22/xbox-live-update-preview-program.aspx
I signed up. Got accepted immediately for some reason. Maybe I spend too much on DLC?
More from Major Nelson:
* We’re looking for multiple thousands of participants, so your chances of making it in are good.
* This is not for Kinect. You will not be receiving a Kinect sensor if you are chosen to participate.
* This opportunity is open to all Xbox LIVE Members in regions where Xbox LIVE is available.
* To avoid any problems, read the survey carefully and double check all the information your provide.
* While both Xbox LIVE Gold and Silver members can sign up, Priority will be given to Gold members in the selection process.

...which will give users an early look at new features that are coming to the Xbox Live portal. The beta provides access to ESPN content, Zune music and Netflix search. Users will also be able to preview the revamped dashboard and Zune video feature.
EDIT:
This just went live about a half an hour ago.

Needless to say, I'm going to pass.

You know how long Microsoft's certification process is.
But now I'm guessing it's really damn long

Oh... Yeah it takes MONTHS to get something certified enough to be put through the XBOX 360. Though I guess it's good that they are extra careful, but it's ridiculous.
1. ask me for my name, email, country, and if I wanted to sign up for newsletter updates
2. ask me for a display name
3. make me click a box labeled "continue"
4. Goto 1.
No.
I've got a bad case of lovin' you.
But Reach and Party chat
nah, I'll pass
dammit
Now I feel stupid

This right here is important, because fuck those bars. I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuck about any of that stuff and would like the option to remove the clutter they cause.
The other day when my 360 started up and it threw up the Spotlight section, I counted
Seven Halo: Reach ads
I don't give a shit about Reach. Like at all. I know they want to use advertising space, and that's fine, but they'd be better served using that space to advertise things I'm actually likely to buy, like Dead Rising 2, Castlevania, Rock Band 3, DJ Hero 2, etc.

You are usually wrong about lots of things.
This is something you are so very RIGHT on.
DJ Hero is awesome and DJ Hero 2 will be awesomer.
But that's beside the point. The question right now is "Who signed up for the beta and will soon be unable to join party chat with non-beta people?"
Me, for one. I signed up, because I am impulsive and prone to poor decision-making.

is this actually happening

Apple's never had trouble charging more for clean and minimalist!
And wait, Cantido, are they planning on charging for the new dashboard when it goes out of beta?
I believe he was referring to the XBL Gold price hike.
