Hmm I haven't received a message so maybe it takes awhile

Strange, I got the message straight away, I think. But then my status was pending for about a week.

 

I'll send it again, see what happens.

 

OK, sent it again.

Maybe the system is not happy seeing all these requests coming from me?

 

I don't think so...  those people who you invited may end up on the waiting list since MS got long queue list of invitations. 

 

It could be all of those invitations or MS could select some of the invitations to be in the selected preview group for this month or next.. based on their decisions.

 

If some people didn't get the preview program this time, then they will try again in the next few months or next year.

Hmm still nothing here. I was in the XBox 360 Preview Program, I wonder if that has something to do with it? Maybe they are the same? I can't see a Preview Program app in my apps list though on XBox one.

 

Nope, people who took part in the 360 program are part of the X1's.

 

Definitely different programs too. The initial wave had to be selected by Microsoft, unlike the 360's where you registered your interested. Once you were invited you advanced to the second selection stage. Then finally you get into the program.

 

The app is available if you have a code, it's not listed on the store.

Your second sentance contriducts the first one I think, did you make a typo?

Posted a while back but nothing yet so if anyone is still feeling generous... :D  Of course if I get in I'll add who I can from here.

 

 

Finally decided to buy an Xbox One so if someone would kindly send an invite? GT is b1oh3ad.

Just to prove I did post and I'm not coming to the party late  :rofl:

I wasn't making myself clear probably :p

 

To get into the 360 program you signed up voluntarily. For the Xbox One, Microsoft chose gamers at random and sent them invitations.

 

There is no restrictions in taking part in both (i.e if you took part in 360 testing you're not ineligable for the X1). I've tested the 360 dash for years but was selected by MS for the X1 program from the start. Being part of the 360 program however does not guarantee you entry into the X1 program, it's completely random. Now the only way to get in is via invites, but it seems they approve everyone, it just takes time.

 

As I said when it first rolled out, it a completely stupid way of handling things and more hoops than necessary to jump through. There was likely a lot of people invited who had no interest while others weren't invited and did want to be involved. That's why they should go back to the old process where you register interest to take part.

I agree.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.
