Question about those of us in the Preview Program and the new update...

[J4rrod]

Ok, so I've been in the Preview Program since I was able to register for it. The thing is, I still haven't received and update on my Xbox for the new Dashboard. Now, I guess technically I've had it for some time, but it was my understanding that I was still suppose to receive an update to get the official release of the Dashboard. I did accept a new Terms of Service, but I know on the new Dashboard, under Apps Marketplace, there's suppose to be a section called Coming Soon 1 and one called Coming Soon 2. I have neither of those.

What exactly is going on? And I not suppose to get an update because I'm in the preview program or what?

No we already had the final dashboard around a week ago J4rrod, the beta is continuing for us to test new apps before they are generally released.

I don't have the coming soon sections either.

Ok thank you so much! I've just been freaking out wondering. Oh and Netflix now have Kinect controls?

Well no Netflix in the UK so I wouldn't know J4rrod.

Not sure if it will let me download, it never used to. I'll give it bash.

I downloaded it coming soon to the UK it says. I have to sign up for a trial first.

So not sure if it's Kinect enabled. Oh yes it is, just said xbox and the app asked me if i wanted to cancel so I guess it is kinect enabled.

I was gonna ask this myself. Was waiting for it for the longest.

The new look of Netflix is wayyyy different and I enjoy the Kinect controls cause I watch a lot of tv shows and can just tell it to go to next episode instead of waiting for controller to turn on

Ok so will I get, for example, the upcoming YouTube app before everyone else since I'm in the program?

I sure hope so cause I've been really looking forward to the YouTube app and was thinking it would be on there from day one. Then I remembered who owns YouTube...
