I don't know about u guys, but im starting to lose hope
in XBL... They lied in the past to us (previous servey
email) and look what happened durring that week... ppl
pissed becuz they didnt get any email and were left in
limbo land... then a few days later after countless hours
of checking our inboxes we finally get some stupid letter
saying that we would be notified on or before sept.
20th... Well wake up call XBOX ppl, sept. 20th is now 26
hours away!, and if U dont email us by then then U have
lied to ur customer base once again and just goes to show
ya how ps2 online is going to end up kicking the shit out
of xbox!... Sony, atleast seems to have more
responsibility than these dimwitts running this beta
shit... I have a funny felling that when these buisness
ppl (xbox beta team) were studing in college they never
studied the portion about PR! All I know is that these
forums will be buisy Friday with ppl flaming just like
what happened in the first week of selection, but this
time xbox will have lied to us twice and the shit will
hit the fan and ps2 will be happy becuz they know MS is a
very unstable and ignorant company...

November.

When I got my email yesterday, I was totally surprised I had
gotten in. Now I have to go order my kit and the dsl router/extra
ethernet cables. But it's ok, no big deal. There are only so many
slots for the beta, so just hang on, the launch will be here soon
my friend.

So XBL is going to suck because you weren't selected as a beta tester?

MS is unstable..I am not an MS lover but obviously you are in need of help.
Maybe if you took some meds you'd be ok.

More like arrogant. US Department of Justice sued them, in return they
created Service Pack for XP. Still does not address the issues that DOJ was
trying to address in my opinion.

Anyway, I filled out the info and did what I was supposed to and no e-mail.
I spent over 700 on Microsoft products for the Xbox and got grief. I was a
dedicated person when it came to thier product, and am getting shit in
return. Oh well, guess I will wait like everyone else.

MS is anti competitive which was proven by the US Department of Justice when
they sued them. I used to defend Microsoft, but the way I was treated for
the beta of XBL turned me.

I have beta tested 4 products over the past five years for different
companies, and will say Microsoft really screwed the pooch on this beta
program. People are selling the damned kits on ebay, some of these people
don't even have a damned X-box, and some of these people don't even have a
broadband account.

Don't you think you're making a big deal out of something that is not really
that important?

You would sell your xbox because you didn't get into the Beta?
C'mon man, don't be such a crybaby. I have an Xbox because I like the games
not because I wanted to be in some beta program.

I could lie to you and say "plonk", but it wouldn't be a lie.

i just did a google directory search on dawn and guess what! this douche
bag's xbox was 'broken' from a lightning stike. wtf? this idiot has a xbox
on a circuit w/o a surge protector and now wants MS to fix it. jesus christ,
this person is so freakin' stupid. that's like getting drunk and crashing
your car and then wanting the dealership to fix it for free because of your
stupidity.

dawn, i have you on my 'plonk' list. however, i still end up getting your
moronic posts when people respond to you. may i suggest you plug in your
xbox and take a bath with it. that should fix the problem.

phil, take a deep breath. MS does not have a vendetta against you. i was
really pissed off like yourself about the lack of qualifications of the much
vaunted beta testers. fortunately, i got over it and accepted i'd have to
wait. then when i was at peace with the world, i got the 'link'. how zen.

I bet they didn't get picked and they probably boycotted every dodgeball
game back then too. Or they never got picked as a part of duck duck goose,
man that really mad 'em mad. I mean you're sitting there, no one will tap
you on the head, you end up wearing those Toughskin pants with the
reinforced knee from Sears because you know you're parents are just wasting
money on those pants cuz the knee always goes out. Why won't someone tap me
on the head, they say, I just want to get up and run around the circle real
fast, I know I can show them, HELL my parents spent over 7.50 for these
pants! ARRRRGGGHHH!

It all comes back to the persons childhood. If they just would have been
picked damnit! And it's all Microsoft's fault! :)

I don't like the process, but going to PS2 is insane. Nothing is warrants
that.
