For those of you that were there in the beginning, there is a post from "trixie" asking for info for a Beta Test reunion piece she is putting together. It's been 5 years fellas! If you were there in the beginning add your thoughts. Should be fun to see what they come out with. Here is the link: http://forums.xbox.com/16408547/ShowPost.aspx
Good find. I still remember when i signed up for the beta kit, I was somewhere traveling in europe when i filled the forum online just for kicks 5+ years later, still around and kicking with the same XBL account.
I was a little late to the xbox live scene. I bought it when it came out, it sat around for about 6 months. I finally forced myself to get it set up I havent stopped using it since.
I remember when my Dad got his beta kit for XBL. Me and him played MotoGP non stop! We also had NFL Fever but that game was garbage, lol. Man, the MotoGP online demo was just plain awesome.
The beta testing days were awesome. I can remember thinking, "wow, I got picked in the first round." I actually tracked the package through the UPS website and left work early so that I could go home and set it up. MotoGP was incredible. Of course, my most fond memories of the early live days were playing NFL2K and Links online. And, Links was the reason that I arrived at LG. I was looking for online golfing action. Oh, I still have my T-Shirt, the gaming case, and orange memory card.
Just to let any of you original members know, on Nov. 15 MS will give all of you beta testers/original members 500 free MS points. Carcassone (or whatever its called) on the XBLA will also be free for all members that day as well. Source
