    Today the lucky few that were asked could they take part in the Kinect BETA find out if the got in. If you did receive an e-mail saying you did then you should be prompted for a dashboard update in the next few hours, but you will not be able to use party and private chat with people that aren't apart of it when testing. This was the e-mail:

    Fair to say Mr. Psycho419 won't have a gold account by the end of the weekend?

    Hate beta testing, much prefer to play the finished product. But I do like the fact they are conducting beta testing.

    You said the finished product wasn't used during beta testing.

    Yeah, isn't it. The finished product isn't used in the beta testing.

    The MOH beta testing is hardly the finished product, beat testing is never the finished product, changes will be made, no matter how small they are.

    Well someone from microsoft posted on their forums saying it is the finished product, not the private beta forums either. Not saying that's a fact because I've no idea what they're sending out. Kinect is out in two months, can't see any hardware changes being made now, software yes.

    That's what I meant, can't hardly play with the camera on it's own. I could try though... I could try.
