    live us up and running so updates should have installed ok , it's just the account services that are down. Worst case scenario at lease the "power of the cloud" will have all your game save data , did you get signed in with your account offline ?

    Doesn't work that quick bud. You can't invite directly to EA Access. You can only invite to the dashboard preview and I don't know how long it takes to get an invite. It's random, can take days or weeks depending on how Microsoft feel. Then when you do get an invite to the dashboard update, you aren't guaranteed a code to the EA Access beta.

    Not sure if someone sent you an invite already so just sent you one there.

    As many have said it can take time if you ever even get into the preview programme I have had two invites over a month ago and I am still not in.

    And I got invited a few days ago, and I'm already in. Seems totally random.

    Ha, might do!

    Not sure why I got in, maybe it's length of xbox live service? I got nine years, so it's about time I got something off them.

    Yeah it will be interesting to see if we get in and if we can find some criteria that makes sense, I created a new account for my Xbox One, so that might make a difference as its only a couple of month old!

    Thanks to whoever invited me.

    No sign of an EA invite so we probably missed the boat for that.
    You'd imagine though that the BETA will be over soon as they can't offer anything new for quite a while so with NFL and FIFA only weeks away theyll need to launch soon or the subs won't roll in for a while.

    Keep an eye on your console messages. My EA Access invite got in there without me even noticing. It was only when I seen the number 1 next to the messages icon that I opened the messages app to find the invite.

    Might be a long shot here, never asked for an invite for this before hand but would love to try out the ea access thing (assuming its not being fully released soon) so if anyone is in the humour of sending out an invite
    can you hit me up :)
    cheers

    Sure no probs. I'll send you one there.

    At this rate, if I start charging €1 per invite I'll be a millionaire by the end of the year :D

    Make sure and check your messages on xbox in case they sent you one and you might not have noticed.

    I sent you another 1 there just in case but someone else will still send you one too hopefully :)
