I am happy to announce that we’re doing an Xbox 360 System Update Preview program for our next release, and the opportunity to sign up is now available. We are conducting an open call for US based participants* for a public preview to help us prepare for an updated Xbox 360 disc format. This is an important update as we continually strive to improve our products and we could not do so without the help of our great Xbox community. As part of the preview program, you will receive a copy of Halo: Reach along with other possible rewards

A couple of points before you head off to register:
•We’re looking for multiple thousands of participants, so your chances of making it in are good.
•This opportunity is open to Xbox LIVE Members in US region only*.
To avoid any problems, read the survey carefully and double check all the information you provide.
•While both Xbox LIVE Gold and Silver members can sign up, priority will be given to Gold members in the selection process.
*Due to disc distribution limitations, this beta it will be limited to residents of the United States only.
This preview will not impact voice/party chat at all.

You also get copy of Halo: Reach if you're excepted. I'd also like to point out that it's CONTINENTAL U.S. only. Sorry Alaska and Hawaii.
 
I'd just like to gather with all non U.S xbox owners and have a jolly good, collective FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!11111 8o|
 
I would have signed up if I was in the US, i'm sure someone here will get in and upload anything worthwhile for us all! ;)
 
I'll try if I get in and there is anything worthwhile in the update. If it's JUST the new disc format update, I won't bother.
 
I guess the updated disc format will improve security as well as remove the 'DVD player' partition, and reduce the amount of system date in general, to increase the amount of data games can use. I remember that the current disc format only supports around 6 to 7 GB of the available DVD-DL space for game data. And with games getting bigger and such (and fallen security), I agree that a new disc format would be a good thing.
 
im guessing the update will be on this new disc xbg3 (Rumoured name) which adds 1gb storage new security usually blah blah just another road block that will be overcome in time just near the point that slims fw is almost released
 
So I think I got in :D I signed in just to check haven't got a email yet but this is the message on my screen

You are still getting the disc. The only difference between Disk update and Live update is the method for which your 360 is updated.
 
This is the only thing i dont get. I am in the Xbox live Update audience and still havent got any news about it nor the update. I wonder whats going on or just that they are starting the program in a week i dont know. hope its soon so i can start decrypting the disc but i cannot give any info because of the NDA but anyways I AM EXCITED;)
