It won't be too long now. Soon, you'll be in.

That's because after October 7, we'll be sending out more invites for the Xbox Live Beta. Beta Testers are coming onto the service in waves, and you're next.

Here's what to look forward to:

Be one of the first to create a Gamertag and start building a rep.
12 months of high-speed gaming starting at the end of the Beta, plus free play during the Beta.
The Limited Edition XboxT Live Beta Starter Kit, including the Xbox Communicator headset.
All this for only $49.95! That's about what you'd pay for just one game.

You'll be among the first to experience the world's ultimate high-speed gaming arena before it launches on November 15th. So keep your thumbs warmed up, because you'll need them soon.

Stay tuned - and thanks for your interest in Xbox Live. If you need any additional information, you can visit www.xbox.com/live.

-Xbox Live Beta Selection Team

I got this message today. I read it as telling me that I am a beta tester, but I won't be able to order my kit until 10/7.

I got the same. I was super pumped up when I saw the subject line, then was let down when I read it. They shouldn't tease us like that.

Would you have rather not gotten an email at all? :)

Who knows....I know that the ecompaystore (where you order the beta kit) has been very slow in completing the orders online....It seems that Xbox beta team is still doing everything in waves so if problems arise they can focus on the problem quicker...your guess is has good as mine. :)
