New Connect program - Kinect dashboard preview

I would love an option to customise it more so I can just have up the xbox and friends menus, but that won't happen as they like to use my screen as a 10 blade advertising boarding.

Pleased the chat is being improved, it's woeful at times these days.

Ooh, great stuff. I guess it won't take effect until late tonight/early morning here by the time the Xbox tech bods in Redmond get going.

Supplementary - I seemed to have missed this bit at E3.

I’m also excited to confirm that Video Kinect will integrate with Windows Live Messenger at launch, so Xbox LIVE members can video chat with hundreds of millions of PC users around the world. Video Kinect will use Kinect to bring the people you care about right into your living room without a headset, and adjust automatically to capture everyone in the room.

Nah registration has been closed...must have filled up fast!...original post was a few days ago tho so fair dos.
 
Seems some people on Neogaf who were accepted when they signed up have received emails now stating they were not successful.

I have not received any such email, but check your own inboxes guys.
 
Could be they've typed in serial numbers / console IDs wrong?

Not sure to be honest, I will paste in the official email said users received:

Thank you for your interest in the Xbox LIVE Service Update preview. Due to the large number of respondents for this program, we are not able to accommodate every submission. Unfortunately, your submission was not selected for participation in the preview. Please note, Xbox LIVE and KinectTM are officially releasing this November, so we do encourage you to jump in and check everything out at that time! Thanks for your support.

Seems strange to me, to be accepted before the numbers where filled and then state that too many people applied and some people are now out of the program!
 
Oh noes. That is a bummer. I've been anticipating it all day (yes, I'm sad) - to be rejected now would be gutting. :(
 
I have been waiting as well ( just as sad!!! lol ), hopefully I am still in ( no emails as yet, MS Connect site says I am still in ).
