17th November I think(27th October for Sky). If you have put in for the preview program they will probably do a 3rd wave then a couple of days later let everyone who applied in thats what they usually do.

I can't apply. I have no choice but to wait, but It's not too far away so I'm not too bothered.

got mine today, facebook is alright. I don't have a twitter account, Zune doesn't work just yet and Ive not tried Last.FM yet

It's beta though so what can you expect....

I don't really see the logic in Facebook, Twitter would be kinda cool if it updated what you where using or playing (not to an insane extent, obviously).

Last.fm would be pretty cool too if you could listen to it whilst playing games. Zune seems like a pretty interesting service too.

But Facebook? I suppose it would be cool with groups of gamers playing a single title and it updated it online but, overall it seems something of a waste considering a PC can do far more with it, and faster.

I like the idea of Facebook, I'd mostly use it when I decide to change games or when I'm bored. I really like the idea of Last.fm especially if I could share what I was listening to. I'd probably listen to bands like Disturbed and Five Finger Death Punch while playing Left 4 Dead 2.

i use my ipod for facebook if i need to check it quick. i tried Zune earlier and it was pretty laggy, took ages to load up some trailers....

still havnt used last.fm, im kinda tempted to delete facebook and zune from my hard drive seeing as im probably never gonna use either of them
