Still getting tons from the last 3 weeks that have advised they didn't get in to the program. It seems that MS really is not accepting them at anywhere near the same rate.

I keep having to revise my estimates.... currently, I would say that around 70% of the ones I have attempted in the last 2 weeks have not worked. I am likely to revise this figure upwards too, as more people come back to me.

The only other option is to check out my FAQs for the "other" way into the program. Far less easy, and applicable to only a small number of people here.

I can also confirm the rate for success is not what it was as had quite a few people say they have not been accepted as yet. By all means keep sending the messages to be invited.

And just like that, MS has stopped taking new ones. In the last 3 weeks MS have scaled things back severely, the hot rate has dropped to around 5%.

Xbox Preview program is at 'near capacity', so new invites will be cut back | Windows Central

So, I am going to have to cease adding.

Thanks to all those that helped out. And thank you to those that asked and were nice and polite. Since I originally put the offer out there (October 2014) I have done over 1000 invites, with the vast majority getting in. Met some decent people.

Incidentally, those wanting to get in may have a slim chance. Look at the FAQs in the first post in the thread, there are details of another possible way in.

Viva la community!

If someone wants an invite, add me on Live: PortoMavericks

Lik peachy said, MS is holding back the acceptance rate, but we can try.

Just one thing: please follow exactly the first post on this page, add me, send a message asking for the invite. :smile:

Hi, I'm assuming you are directing the at Porto? Personally, I'm no longer adding people. It has become really tight, less than 1% get in.

Peachy, it's very tight. I invited more than 10 since the day of my last post and just one got in yet (and it was funny, I invited a friend september 1st and today he got the msg from MS).

I don't think there's a pattern for acceptance. Or if there's any, I didn't realize yet how it works.

You'll never know! I couldn't fathom it in the time I did it. I have had 2 message me yesterday to say they were in. But I must have added tons in the last 3 weeks.

It used to be much better. It now is not worth the effort, would take at least s hundred attempts for some!

Bizarrely, I have still had a couple of requests, even though I have stated that I'm not doing it. If they open it again I may start up again. Was massively time consuming though!
