The Xbox Labs program is in the USA dashboard. You can get the Avatar Awards for mutliple profiles when logged in at the same time. Including NON USA gamertags.

This isn't a Internet, Network, Bandwidth test for the rest of the world. All in due time.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
(from majornelson.com)

"As a part of our ongoing commitment to improve Xbox LIVE, we are rolling out an optional testing program called Xbox LIVE Labs. Xbox LIVE Labs performs a number of network tests from your console to Xbox LIVE. These results are recorded solely for the purpose of testing and improving the service. Although we want your support, participating in Xbox LIVE Labs is entirely optional and voluntary. These results are recorded solely for the purpose of testing and improving the service and will not be used to identify you.

If you choose to participate, each completed test rewards you with a cool Avatar item and a zero point achievement as a thank you for your contribution.

There are a total of three Avatar items and three zero point achievements that you can earn for each completed test, including a lab coat, brain helmet, and crazy mad scientist hair!

Xbox LIVE Labs runs from March 10-27 and is open to all Xbox LIVE members living in the United States.

You will not be able to participate in other Xbox LIVE activities, such as gaming, watching movies or downloading music, while running Xbox LIVE Labs, and your Internet connectivity may be slower than usual. Sound good? Sign into Xbox LIVE and head over to the community channel where you'll see the Xbox LIVE Labs panel. Click on it to download the testing app and the rest is pretty much self-explanatory.

The Xbox LIVE Labs testing application is currently available in the US only. After this round of testing, we'll evaluate when and how we'll roll this out to other Xbox LIVE regions."



Enjoy!

For those who are concerned of getting the RRoD for leaving your console on for so long, the chances of that happening is if you have a disc inside your console running thats what causes all the strain in your xbox..other than that I'm not worrieed about getting the RRoD but what I am concerened about is when it says "You are responsible for paying any data usage fees that may be charged by your internet provider" does anybody know what thats all about?

@THESICCNESS1

Once again for the 101x, check with your ISP on what your data rate plan is and use Xbox Labs accordingly. The amount of data uploaded/download amounts to under 10 GB down / under a 1GB up.

In addition, a lot of ISPs don't measure bandwidth during off peak hours.

This isn't rocket surgery.

gay only for america way to improve XBOXLIVE douchebags...

[playinghalotoday]

@UnitedAcorn

For the 100x, wake and REALIZE that Xbox LIve doesn't revolve around YOU living in America's hat. The test is specifc to the USA for a reason.

Then again, nothing is stopping YOU from getting these Avatar Awards.

Don't like it? Move!

[FnPwnage]

I find that only offering items like this to USA only is bullshit. There not the only ones paying every fucking month for something that should already be free "Xbox Live"

Cut players some slack and let other countries take part in this too.This comment is aimed at MS. not the video creator

[playinghalotoday]

@FnPwnage

Bullshit?

Wake up and REALIZE that if Microsoft/Xbox wanted to run this test in New Zealand or anywhere else for that matter they would do so. They have even stated that they may be opening up this test for other parts of the world in the future.

This is all aside from the FACT that anyone with a USA gamertag can run Xbox Labs and get the Avatar Awards, regardless of where they are living.

Don't like it? MOVE!

Moron!

[W4lly16]

Thanks for sharing. I love how you guys are always on top of letting us know about free stuff.

[trickthegame]

@castlevamp

Only a complete tool would connect their "JTAGGED" console to XBL for 6 hours straight just to run Xbox Labs.

Get the hell out of here moron. You don't have a brain.

[castlevamp]

this is a way to fuck up your xbox and make you buy a new one. while they test for Jtaged xboxes fuck you microsoft you cant rip me off

[ineedfriendsonwii]

@202MegaHomer202 you can't use it if you're under 18. How i did it, was i downloaded it on a alternate xbox silver account, then went it on that account and signed in my primary account.

[kaneMANonFIRE]
