    If so, what do you beta test? Software, operating systems, playstation, Xbox, etc?
    I know from a friend who beta tests for Microsoft, you can't really disuss particulars and stuff, and that's ok. Lucky stiff got to Beta the Xbox, so he got it before it was available for purchase and got to keep it too.
    I'm also looking for some advice on getting into it myself, so any info would be helpful.

    Elios, when you is jelous that he got to test the XBOX and keep it, remember that it is probably the same thing with Windows ME. :D

    I am currently beta testing Windows Longhorn. And that's about as much as I can say about that, but it's not as funny as you would think.

    Would be fun to betatest a game maybe, but basically it's just make the program crash and record when and where it happened and so on....

    Jealous? Heck yeah. Especially since when the XBOX was officially released, he got to turn in the one he had been testing and got a brand new one, free!
    Granted, he is VERY involved in beta testing with Microsoft. But still...
