You can invite others by going to your Preview Xbox Dashboard app and selecting 'Invite Friends' - there's also 'Quests' they want you to do to test out features in the update.

Yes, you can play with anyone. The only issue we had on the preview was when they totally reworked the party system. Then you could only party up with people on the preview, but you could play with anyone still. But that was months ago.

Although I would be careful, I've seen some reports about the latest preview they pushed out that had some serious issues with it.

I just read that as well. Don't install the latest update for a bit.

Thanks for the invite too, Jeff.

So I wouldn't be able to party up with people that don't have it?

Kampfers said you could play/party up with anyone. It was a one time issue during the 1st or 2nd major update that didn't let them party with us non-preview folks.

It's been resolved since then. You can always choose to opt out of the preview program or not install an update if you don't want to risk it.

Could i have an invite sent my way, too?

GT: im zach morris

If anybody could send me and invite, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

So, when I'm on the XB1 home screen, looking at my personal info on the left, I see a "1" next to the mail icon. But I've got no unread messages and I can't see any older messages I can delete. Any ideas... It's annoying me!

So I finally made the jump this weekend from 360 to One. So far, I really like this console. I got the integration between the console and TV receiver to work pretty easily and love that aspect so far. It is also really fun to switch between games pretty easily you have stored on the hard drive. I bought the bundle that came with Forza so I've been playing that while waiting for new Titanfall matches to begin. Snapping TV is okay as well, but I find myself so focused on gameplay that I don't have time to look up and see what's happening in the little box to the right. I'm curious come football season if I can be playing the ESPN app (WatchESPN) and have TV snapped at the same time to watch two games at once.

The one thing I haven't got down is this instant awake thing. Can you put your XBox in sleep mode and then kinect recognize you as you walk into the room? I've just been powering it down every time.

When the Xbox is in instant-on, you have to say "Xbox on", then it will wake up. Then the Kinect will recognize you and log you in.

I find the same as you with regards to watching tv during gaming. The only time I snap tv then is for background noise, and ill use the sound mixer to make the main app silent.

How do you put your xbox on instant on?

In settings. I think you can choose between instant-on and "power saving" mode.

I must have a funny accent because I usually have to say "xbox on" several times before it gets it. Don't have issues with other commands.

Have you tried to check your messages on xbox.com or the mobile app to see if it shows up there?

Same here. All the other commands work great.

I'm pretty convinced that the box intentionally ignores the on command to make me look like an idiot in front of other people.

Seems like "xbox on" has gotten worse for me. It use to get it almost every time... then it started missing here and there... and now it seems like it's less than 50% getting it on the first try.

But once it's on it seems to pick up my commands pretty good. Xbox pause, record that, snap, etc. are probably 85% or better success first try.

I've noticed if I speak with a Southern Drawl, my xbox always turns on. Otherwise, it usually takes a couple of tries.

So I guess the recognition is the problem for instant on. I couldn't get it to work for the first couple of days, but now its working. I also realized I was trying to say "XBox, turn on" instead of "XBox on" a few times.

This command baffles me. Why is the command to turn the Xbox on "Xbox On," but the command to turn it off is "Xbox, turn off?"

I received an invite to the beta program about a week ago and have just received a code for the EA Access beta but when I go to type it in it says "this code has already been used". Is this happening to anybody else?

Would anyone be interested in putting together a semi-competitive racing league in Forza? Scheduled races, qualifying maybe?

I see an angry birds Star Wars is discounted with gold from $50 to $25.

Question... Who the **** would pay $50 for angry birds???

Space engineers, cuphead, super hot, and one other indie game I can't remember all caught my eye from the indie games. Both super hot and cuphead were revealed at e3, but not the other two. I just love the old school Disney art style cuphead uses.

Oh, and plague inc! (not the other one I was thinking of, but awesome nonetheless)

The moba, smite, also looks interesting.

Edit - The other game was blues and bullets
