Title: I\'m signed up to be an XBox tester
Post by: ddaryl on December 14, 2000, 09:34:29 PM: Yes since I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington and only an hours drive from the Microsoft campus I signed up.

Hopefully they\'ll give me a ring and I can report to you guys 1st hand impressions. Instead of what the REv tries to tell us

So of course I\'ll let you know what\'s up as soon as I know, and any other WWestern Washingtonians out there should do the same

Post your impressions then ( if you get that "ring" ? )

Well, some of us are lucky, some of us aren\'t...

I know if I worked for Coca-Cola and we were letting people test our new X-Cola I would hesitate to let someone that says they are the president of their local Pepsi Fan Club try it. It just makes you think that they might not be as honest as they should. So in other words. Unless they ask, Keep it to yourself.

Post by: THX on December 16, 2000, 10:44:04 AM: ddaryl- sounds like fun! :) Tell us what kind of screen you guys play the games on, a widescreen HDTV perhaps? If so, ask them if the image is 480i/p, 720i/p, or 1080i. heheheh, sorry to bombard you with so many questions but I am curious about this every since MS labeled the Xbox with HDTV capability at launch.

I\'m not intending to, but can a regular registered user ( like me ) change the picture when\'s bored with it?

But like I said I may never change it... because I like it :)

Just asking.
