Following up on his promise, Major Nelson has revealed that a few thousand fans will find their way to the New Xbox Experience, the Xbox 360 dashboard overhaul, earlier than the scheduled release date of November 19.

Users can now sign up at Microsoft Connect – the company’s beta software site – for a chance to get early access to the update. Interested gamers will need to fill up a survey, giving information such as Netflix subscription, internet connection and media streaming capabilities, as well as their console ID to get into the beta.

Completing the survey won’t ensure beta participation, but it won’t hurt to try. It is open to all Xbox Live members, though Gold members will be given priority access.
