Weird ig ot this email, dam I aint in yet!!!!

Thanks for waiting to participate in the beta. The response exceeded 100,000.

We wanted to let you know we plan to send you an email no later than September 20th regarding your status to potentially be included in our beta test program.
You're at the top of our pre-registration list for our ongoing beta program. So you'll be the first to create a Gamertag and the first to know when it's time to get in this incredibly intense, high-speed gaming experience. That means you can start creating a rep before most.

In the meantime, check out http://www.xbox.com/live/ for the latest news and updates on Xbox™ Live. Or, copy and paste the link into your browser.

Thanks again for your desire to participate in the beta and you will hear from us soon.

**AmpedRider** · 08-22-2002, 07:48 AM

i took both surveys but no e-mail T.T

**Maverick_23** · 08-22-2002, 09:59 AM

After speaking to Tech support via online chat I was told that the e-mail stating that a link would be sent within 30 days to order the kit is legit. It's also not referreing to the second wave as so many have assumed. Beta Team did it to relieve the stress on the servers and the network by preventing everyone from logging in and ordering the kits at the same time. He said that anywhere from a few days to a week when the volume slowed we would receive the link. We are in, we're in the first wave we just gotta wait a little while. if anyone wants them I have the transcripts i can post when I get home.

**CrazyCougar** · 08-22-2002, 10:46 AM

Yeah Maverick I just found out the same info. We will be getting our link in the next few days. As for those with the 30 day message you'll see your link with in 30 days but no definite date as to when. Kewlness!!!

Post the transcript. I am curious as to which rep you talked to. I've tried four times and got Linda each time

She knows less than I do about beta. BTW, I also got that 30 day email, so how long will it really be untill we get our links? I'm guessing VERY soon, they just said 30 in case there was a problem in the ordering I'm guessing.
