Shortly after the well-known, always-informative Major Nelson (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Major+Nelson/)announced that this year's upcoming Xbox Live update (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/04/microsoft-e3-2012-keynote-liveblog/) had officially opened its beta doors to the public, he soon followed up with a note saying it was already "full and no longer accepting sign-ups." For the lucky ones, though, the public beta will give them early access to a slew of anticipated Xbox Live (http://www.engadget.com/tag/xbox+live/)features, such as personalized dashboard recommendations, improved category / discovery features and, best of all, a look at Internet Explorer (http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/04/internet-explorer-coming-to-xbox-360-kinect-integration-and-all/) on Microsoft's entertainment console (http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/new-xbox-360-slim-250gb-review/). Sadly, Major Nelson didn't say whether or not there's going to be more spaces opening up soon, but we'll keep you in the loop if anything changes.
