I've been trying to get in for ages but I always seem to miss it anytime there is an open enrollment. Well, apparently, members can now invite people on their Friends list to join the program. Would anyone be kind enough to hook me up with an invite? I would be most grateful.
I sent an invite to every DBOer on my friends list.

So clearly you weren't on my friends list! What's your gamertag?

Sounds like we have two problems to remedy then! My gamertag is the same as on here: Mariachi
I just added you as a friend.
P.S. This officially makes you my hero...

I wouldn't mind getting in on this either. Is there/has there been anything to make it worth it?

Game streaming to Windows 10 and backwards compatibility (even with the current limited library) have been pretty cool. What's your GT?

Perfect, thanks! I might have to dig out my Mass Effect now.

I've been playing with the limited backward compatibility but so far that's it. In case it matters, I will send duplicate invites to folks.
No, You Haven't.

Someone gave me an invite a while back and I didn't finish the sign-up process, mainly because it looked like I'd be required to sign up for and use some forum and give feedback on the preview stuff and I was concerned about how well everything worked. So did I read that correctly or is feedback just very encouraged? How stable is the preview dashboard and other software? (I co-host a custom game night every week and a lot of the time I'm party lead, and I don't want it crashing and messing up other people's experience.) I might actually be fully in the program now, I'm not sure, I never agreed to the final thing but I seem to have the option to use the preview dashboard. If and when I get fully into the program I'll be sure to invite anyone that wants in.

Fairly stable, from what I can tell. I don't think I've seen much of anything happen with this version that didn't happen before, at least in terms of network performance and overrall stability.

Do be prepared to wait several days. After a player sends you an invite, they say it can take up to 48 hours to be notified, but it can be longer. After that you'll get a message and be prompted to download an app called Preview or something like that, and you'll be tempted to think you're in-- but you're not! You've just entered the waiting room.
After downloading the app, you can use it to check the status of your preview application. It will say "pending" for up to-- you guessed it! 48 hours. For me it was actually longer, and I think only business days count.
That said, backwards compatibility is working OK for me, at least on one title-- doing a video let's play of Mass Effect 1 and I've already switched it over to the new box.
Can Phisto get an invite too?

This is my favorite forum on the Citadel.

At the end of a PvP match, this music needs to be playing while they highlight your character dancing if you win the "best around medal".
