For all those who signed up early for the preview program, you're getting a big surprise. Major Nelson and the group have decided to let everyone instead of just 10,000 more people in two days prior to release. So if you got into the preview program, turn on your system and download that update. And dive into the New Xbox Experience.

Instead of adding another 10,000 people to the preview program like we did last week, we've decided to do something a little different: everyone who successfully applied to the preview program (and had a valid console ID) will be getting the New Xbox Experience sometime within the next few hours. That's right... we're hooking everyone else up with NXE a bit early. If you signed up and are not prompted, that means you did not enter your console ID properly and you'll have to wait until Wednesday.

Don't worry, it's almost here.

Thanks again for your overwhelming interest in the program.
