    Got a mandatory update there, not sure if its the new update or another preview as I'm in the beta, I'll report back later.

    Edit: Still showing the 1408 version number, only thing different I've noticed is a new icon for activity feed notifications on the main dash below your gamerscore and above the message icons

    Just looking a the quests in the preview app , one is to test changes from installing from disc , cba doing that but I assume it means speeding it up. another is to test buying stuff from smartglass and again there's nothing I want to pay for to test it, I will try it with the new games with gold on friday though and see will it work while im out and have the game waiting to be played when I get home.

    I'll send you 1 now but you don't get an invite instantly. It could take days or weeks depending one when Microsoft send out the invite batches and then I'm not sure if you would get an invite to EA Access. It might be public by the time you get it.

    If you have Xbox Live Gold then make sure to get Max: The Curse of Brotherhood and Guacemelee games from the market as they're free for another day only. Then it will be Crimson Dragon on August 1st for free followed by Strike Suit Zero in the second half of August.

    There's also some free to play games such as Powerstar Golf and Killer Instinct as well as other game demos to try.

    Na don't worry account sign in is down http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status

    disconnect from the internet and you will be able to sign to your profile.

    Pain as I said in the other thread it's happened a few times in recent weeks.

    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 ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,207 ✭✭✭miralize

    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.

    Sent you an invite to the dashboard beta anyway.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 933 ✭✭✭Furp


    I'm on live 10 years just seems random.

    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!

    I'd love an invite if anyone has a spare please,

    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.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,792 ✭✭✭2Mad2BeMad


    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 :)
