As revealed by Microsoft’s Major Nelson, the Xbox Preview Program will now go by the name of the Xbox Insider Program.
Across a number of bundles £180 will get you a 500GB Xbox One with two games.
Microsoft has made its Xbox Preview Program open to all – and renamed it Xbox Insider Program. Microsoft is not opening up its system updates to new members of the Xbox Insider Program just yet.
These changes are rolling out slowly with a small percentage of players being given access now.

Since the program launched in February 2014, your feature requests, ideas, and millions of votes have helped shape and improve your Xbox experience for the whole community. It’s also possible that Microsoft doesn’t try and target the PC gaming space as much as it tries to augment the Xbox market with additional PC play and features. VG 24/7 reported some of these tweaks, including a more personalized Insider dashboard to give XBox users prime access to games and apps and a new user interface.

The new app will be rolled out gradually beginning with preview program members that have been very active in providing Microsoft feedback in teh existing preview program. The remaining Xbox Preview users will be converted to “Insider” status over the coming weeks. For more detailed info, check out the Xbox Insider Program FAQ located here. We’re less than a month away from Black Friday, but if you can’t wait to buy an Xbox the deals today are well stocked and looking pretty good.
