Xbox Experience Beta Program

Mr E

Beta signups are now open for the new dashboard. Fill in a short form, and if selected you'll be notified in a week - you might get to try out the dashboard 3 weeks before everyone else! Worth a shot.... Thousands will be selected - surely someone on boards will get the nod.

Let us pray to the xbox almighty that we get in..;)

Lenny

signuped up but can't find where it is on the connect site, direct link anyone?

FuzzyWuzzyWazza

I can't seem to sign up, keep getting an error message

"An object that you requested, or that was needed to process your request could not be found. "

Below that it just says Invitation ID and nothing else!!

Lenny

yea i was getting that error too, so i skiped the sign up and went o the second link on the major nelsons page to sign in. and just used my xbox email and password and signed in grand

FuzzyWuzzyWazza

I signed up fpr connect grand, but when I click on the second link I get the error above, I tried signing out of connect and then clicking on the link, but when I sign in I get the same message.

miju

am getting the same error. I guess they prob got all the applicants they needed and closed the invites

FuzzyWuzzyWazza

Yeah was thinking that myself

Vic Vinegar

Tis full up now! (according to update on Major Nelson!)

Fol20

Cheers, at least someone's listening!

Vic Vinegar

Has anybody found out if they are in or not yet?

Mr E

Nope haven't heard. I'm sure it'll be announced on majornelson.com when invites are sent out.

Mr E

Actually just spotted this on the Nelson Twitter feed:

No NXE Preview mails today....it's looking like tomorrow we'll send 'em out. I'll update tomorrow. (posted 14 hours ago)

Keep an eye on your email today I'd say....

Vic Vinegar

Nice one Mr. E

*Crosses fingers*

Vic Vinegar

Update on Major Nelson

"NXE Mail update: We're hoping to get them sent out later today. NONE of gone out yet. I'll make a post when they do!"

bucks73

Another update:

# Hopefully we can send them out later tonight (PT) 4 minutes ago
# In case I was unclear: I will be making a blog post when we send the emails out to those accepted into the NXE Preview Program. 5 minutes ago

Mr E

That'll be in the middle of the night here. I think if you don't have an email when you wake up, then you're not in.

mailrewop

bucks73

Same here.

Looking forward to it now.
