I got accepted and participated in the Bug Bash Live test. It was pretty cool to have a LIVE Console in a windows game lol.

Um no idea. The game that they tested was a beta test only game called Bug Bash so it was rather young person friendly so IDK.

They email you to let you know you are accepted and it updates your Live account with access. I think i was accepted because i specified that i have two testbeds with both XP Pro and Vista Business. And the new Games For Windows Live is designed specifically for Vista.
