How to get the New Xbox dashboard Beta

Go here:

https://connect.microsoft.com/XboxLIVEUpdate/InvitationUse.aspx?ProgramID=7779&InvitationID=IT12-7QWY-KVD8

Once you've done that, simply hit next and then fill in the page. You only need to create a display name and agree to the terms and conditions.
You'll need to keep going through a few pages then you'll get to a survey (Not anything like sharecash, just a few questions about your xbox, gamertag, etc.). Once you've finished that and have gone to the next page, on the left you'll see a quick link to 'Product Keys'. Go ahead and click that. Once you've done that, click 'Request new product key' and a new product key should be available below. To view the key itself, just hit 'Get Key' and it'll appear on your screen.
Once you've got the code, redeem the code on your xbox

I've heard some people sometimes have problems with redeeming dashboard beta updates on their xbox, if you're one of these people, go to xbox.com and redeem the code on your account. Once you've done that, it should be in your Active downloads over on your xbox Once it's downloaded, run the app, follow the steps on screen and you'll now have the beta dashboard update

But is there a way to switch back?

No you can't switch back

A new dashboard already?

Here's some images of it that got leaked:

Man that is horrid looking

Neat, i'll try it.

Hmm i got it but i didn't get the update looks like i'll have to use the other method.


EDIT: Ah it says it can take a day or two to get your console in.

I HATE that it forces us to use internet explorer...wonder if we could use it to download chrome or firefox

For the actual update it Takes about 1 to 2 days

Wonder how well it'll stream porn.. Time will tell.

They're finally deciding to give us a browser?

About damn time, that's awesome.

wow it looks almost like the old one but with a browser option
so crazy

posting from 360 its actually pretty quick no flash yet however

Takes a day or two for them to register your console only took me a day and you'll be prompted to download another update.
