Way to put a damper on things Master.



I hate you.

Aww... damn. That means I didn't get accepted.
I got the first survey, but nothing past that.

Just wondering how many of you signed up for the beta, cause I just got my final questionare for being accepted.

I filled out the final questionnaire today as well. Hopefully I will make the final cut

*Scrounges up pennies to pay Microsoft for testing their product* :P

Ah-HA! Survey!
Not too happy about their "pay us for working for us" bit, and the only game being put up for testage being of the athletic variety, buuuuuuuuuut it'd be nice to, for once, do something that NOONE ELSE CAN DO! ...or something!
Stupid confidentiality agreements. I bet MS'll be keeping close tabs on all of its beta people, too, so no info for the rest o' the people...

Dood. We don't pay them to work for them. They don't count any of the beta time as our one year subscription. If we were gonna play online, we had to buy this stuff anyway, and they're letting us do it early.

I can't wait.

I can't wait as well. Hopefully the rumors will be confirmed that Unreal Championship will join the list of games to beta test the service with.

I hope they give out some cool XBOX swag too

To say thanks for playing and participating in the Beta, we're throwing in some additional high-speed game play, on us. So you'll play for nothing until the scheduled official launch in November 2002.

They're throwing in "additional" high speed game play? What the heck does that mean? If you buy the starter kit on the official launch day don't you get your first year for free anyway? Now as a beta tester you pay $50 for the starter kit and you don't even get 1 year? Am I right or am I wrong? So essentially, you're paying $50 for the kit, and about 4 (maybe 5) months of online play... what happens when November comes around? Do you pay another $50 for a full year or what?

What a load of PR crap...
