The next Xbox Dashboard update with internet explorer beta testing opens

4.3
You probably want to be one of the first people to explore the internet on your Xbox 360, right? Well, Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb just posted up instructions for how to be that dude – all you have to do is sign up for the upcoming Xbox Live Dashboard update beta.

Beyond the opportunity to explore the internet from the comfort of your couch, you'll also get "personalized dashboard recommendations" (whatever that means), and "enhanced category search and discovery features."

Like with so many betas, participants won't be able to write about their experience or take pictures or anything like that until the required non-disclosure agreement expires. But hey, you'll be part of a super secret club, so there's something.

Update: Looks like the beta's full up, y'all. Congrats to those who got in!

Sadly the PS3 already had a browser since there launch. And i agree with Rule34 the youtube app really sucks.

Are you f*cking serious? It ended already? -______- This dashboard actually seems really cool. I just hope IE will be the full thing and not something stupid like the YouTube app (only searching and watching, no real pages). I bet if I didn't end up waking up now I could have gotten in. :P

All i hope for is that its better then the ps3 browser because the ps3 browser is so slow and laggy.

IE is a 115mb app its allready on the beta dash which is a little more pleasing looking than the previous dash .
