The beta will never be "updated" to the final version. You will still have to go out and buy an official Microsoft Vista cd to use it. The Beta is a Temporary trial version, if you wish to call it that.

I got the xbox replacement cable they were giving fo free because they said the ones before 2003 caused fire hazard, I also got the free Service Pack 2 CD.

Ya but like the xbox replacement cable, thats a recall, big lawsuits can happen from stuff like that. I mean when they are just giving away free stuff to give it away for free. But nevermind.

Lol, who cares, lets just hope we get those Vista CD's, and that Vista isn't freakishly expensive and buggy when it comes out.

the problem wasn't the power cables, it was the shitty psus they put in the xboxes. ms didn't want to take back ALL of the xboxes, so they said the cable was the problem.

btw, THANKS!
