coupon to a free copy of Fever 2003. We are sorry this
happened.

We will be sending the email no later than 12pm pst as to
wether or not you made the "final cut". And because of
this error on our side we are giving you BETA Testers 1
year of Xbox Live on us. We here at Microsoft believe in
Customer Service after all without you HARDCORE gamers
Live wouldnt be possible.

so if we got an email sayin:Thanks for wanting to participate in the Xbox™ Live beta. Here's a quick update on our progress...


We selected our initial beta testers this week and will be adding many more over the weeks to come. If you have not yet been contacted, we will be contacting you on or before September 20th regarding your status to potentially be included in our beta test program.

We want to thank you for your willingness to participate in the program, but want to let you know that we have many more applicants than we have openings. However, remember that this is just the beta, and we're working feverishly to bring to you the actual Live service on November 15th, 2002. This is when we will have made the necessary tweaks to create the ultimate online gaming arena for you and your friends.

In the meantime, check out http://www.xbox.com/live/ for the latest news and updates.

Thanks again for your desire to participate in the Xbox Live beta.

Have any of you happened to notice the hundreds of threads where us beta testers are discussing the games? I mean I can understand one or two threads slipping by.. but there are litterally hundreds of threads and dozens of pics posted up of us playing on Xbox LIVE beta. Whew.. you guys are starting to give me a serious case of worry over the future of our nation.
