Ayepecks Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 We're not supposed to be discussing specific details like that in public. I will, however, say that you should read the Connect site as more information is posted there in regards to timeframe.

Guest Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Starting to look like the 4-5 days text that was on the connect site was correct rather than the 1-2 business days which contradicted that...

Ryster Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Mathachew, you're treading on unstable ground posting that picture mate. That screenshot is confidential information which you agreed not to release to anybody not in the program when you signed the NDA.

Na just somebody that visits here more then likely, submited the screen shots. It would be hard to trace anyway unless their email/gamertag is the same as shown in the screenshot ( which there is none shown) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1031607-update-new-xbox-dashboard-preview-now-avaiable/page/5/#findComment-594432441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

silus Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I think people have misunderstood what they mean by being registered. Being registered means they have your console id logged in their system. If you can see the pre-release channel, then your console is registered. That was what took the 1-2 day timeframe. The update will come early next week, most probably on Tuesday given that they usually release content on a Tuesday, and the 8th is Microsofts official Patch Tuesday.

So, they only put their watermark on them because other sites including news and major tech sites were hotlinking them/using them without permission. Heck years ago when i posted pics of the Doom3 early releace, and not long ago my Thermaltale review and pics were on a couple sites in full and exact even with my mispellings used as their own review,,, they even omited the source and my name. And doesnt really matter regarding the preview, its just that, a preview, not a beta, nonsub's will get the exact same thing a week or 2 after we get it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1031607-update-new-xbox-dashboard-preview-now-avaiable/page/5/#findComment-594432511 Share on other sites More sharing options...
silus Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 In my opinion go ahead and post up whatever you like. The first step for anyone remotely ****ed about it would be to ask for a takedown, which would at that point be fair enough and taken down. Until then, no point anyone else getting bent up about it :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1031607-update-new-xbox-dashboard-preview-now-avaiable/page/5/#findComment-594432593 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patch Tuesday has nothing to do with the Xbox department. Tuesday has traditionally been the release date for new entertainment media, such as games, music, and movies, however. But neither of that should have any bearing whatsoever on when a beta/preview starts.

I've been apart of every beta except this one from the launch of NXE and never has an issue occurred with showing it off. It's a PREVIEW like you stated, not a beta.

If someone reports you, they can remove your connection to Xbox Live until it launches officially. It's likely no one's reported you breaking the NDA.

It's likely no one's reported you breaking the NDA. Typically these "launches" are about a week or two out from the "preview." If you really think about it, these "previews" are more likely sent out in advance to people who took the time to fill out the application to get some minor bug fixes, stress test the servers, and also make to insure no massive issues happen like bricking, and to ease up on the download amount of the new dashboard at launch. I don't think it's that big of a deal. :/ dafin0 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1031607-update-new-xbox-dashboard-preview-now-avaiable/page/5/#findComment-594432999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't change the fact that the NDA still matters.

Doesn't change the fact that the NDA still matters. Understood. I agree with what your saying, but we should all know people will bend the rules. That's why to me, it comes off as no big deal. Hopefully that make sense.
