I bet if they offered even 200 achievement points (maybe 20 points each successful test) they would get a ton more people doing it.

Whats the point of giving a 0 point achievement.
I wouldn't do this if you have modded firmware in case they are testing something new. You will just aid them in tests.

But seriously, I wonder why they'd test this now? Are they expecting a rush of more users or something? I think they'd do something like this shortly after the system was released to test mass users.

There are 3 separated test. The first one runs 30 minutes, the second for an hour, and the last for 6 hours. My console is connected wirelessly via the N adapter, however I'm not experiencing any network slowdown on my main desktop (that's hard wired)--so I guess if you want to turn your console on, run the tests and come back later--you shouldn't experience any slowness on any other computers on your network.
I kind of thought it was ironic that Microsoft trusts their consoles enough to be left on for 7.5 consecutive hours.

Just a heads up for everyone: this test is EXTENSIVE.

It's cumulative. First test 30 mins. Second Test another 30 mins for a total of 1 hour. Third test 5 hours for a total of 6 hours. If you are that worried about it put a box fan next to it and watch a couple of movies

It probably has something to do with the recent news about the iptv coming to US consoles. Source of IPTV Announcement
That does make sense, the whole IPTV rumors have date back to the old blades dash pic leak a few years back.

Notice how it is this information will NOT be used to identify you.
It doesn't say we will not record personal information.
Anyone that does this is fairly ignorant. It will be like Gamestop or Google or any other company that is supposed to limit the information it records, but doesn't.

It's actually 6 hours total. Technically the first test is 30min, second is 30min, and the third is 5 hours. Completed it yesterday and played a few hours after.

I wouldnt think so as iptv has been available on the xbox for a good while now in the uk and they never did anything like this. Why would they do it this time?

besides, aside from the nand info, do you see anything in that list that microsoft could use to identify people for banning? because i certainly don't if that is all the info that is being collected.
also, do you really think microsoft needs to put out a program just to know what messages you have sent on xbox live and how many times you have done a license migration? here's a hint: all that info goes through microsoft servers at some point, so they have that info already
