Alright, What, Exactly, is “Xbox 360 Beta_” [Update]

Published: January 01, 0001 Reading Time: Approx. 8 mins

Natal? ODST? Whatever it is, Major Nelson, Stepto and other Redmond regulars have been playing it lately. I thought it might be 1 vs. 100, but other friends show that as “Xbox 360 Dashboard.”

So that’s two Xbox rumors before the morning’s out. I have emailed Larry to see if he wants to say anything to his adoring public [[link]] about it.

Update: Major Nelson has indeed replied! Here’s his clarification, verbatim:

Regarding that entry on my Gamercard, that’s something we’re testing as part of the next dashboard release (nope…not ready to announce a date yet!.) If you [[link]] remember at E3, we announced avatar marketplace, and the ability for games to [[link]] award avatar items. We’re testing that infrastructure.
