Its getting close to the weekend now and I still haven't received anything info on how to take part in the XB1 stuff. I have my beta tester number and done everything required.

Should people like me hear something tomorrow?

Sorry buddy, there arent any testing for this weekend. The next test is for April 12th , hope you get into that one.

I'm not an Xbone owner but I was thinking of applying and I have PC/PS3/Wii U. However, I'm a full-time college student with only a month left of the semester and don't want to apply if I can't dedicate every Saturday to test something. I was wondering, since you're currently looking for Xbone owners primarily, would it be better to apply now since I would be contacted later on for future projects? Or, should I wait until I'm done with school for the semester to apply when I'm sure I'll have time available to me in case I would get contacted right away?

Sorry if it's such a specific question, haha. I just sort of don't want to miss out on this opportunity. :)

Just got my acceptance email from them, so I'm in as soon as I can get an XBone or PS4. I already have a PC, so I'm safe there.

I am never buying an XBone

That doesn't mean that I will refuse one if offered for free, just saying

Don't worry - as soon as there's a PS4 project confirmed, it'll be announced through our mailing list, Facebook and Twitter =]
I just got my confirmation I'm an eligible candidate for future tests. I guess I'm in your mailing list now, yes?

Great to see you here! :)

I sent a scan of my signed NDA back last Friday. I didn't hear about anything from that but I got a separate email about my PC testing (and getting DX diag) with a tester ID on it, does that mean it was received and all is ok?

The PC information email was sent to all eligible participants in our files, regardless of their NDA status. Any NDAs received last Friday afternoon or later have been on hold due to heavy workload here - but those are currently being processed so you should hear from us this week with an appropriate confirmation =]

It's always better to apply ASAP to get your file in our system and receive news about opportunities - we're also cooking up projects which won't be hosted on the weekends (although most larger sessions are, usually).

If you're unavailable for a period of time, simply drop us an email and we'll mark you as On Hold until you confirm your availability again =]

Posted couple of pages ago but here it is again, may be someone can help.

I got an email asking me for my dxdiag. How do I make changes to my account so I switch it to console only?

I don't game much on computer because I'm Mac only.

Because information can change with time, when there's opportunities on different platforms, we send the announcement to everyone who's eligible for the global program, not just the specific console. Note that not registering for a particular platform or project does not prevent you from participating to other projects; they're all treated separately.

All right, thanks for the answer! I'll apply as soon as I can then. :)

I faxed mine in because we have a fax machine here that hasn't been used in at least a year.

It felt good. Felt real good.

Alright, thanks for the information. I also sent you a PM.

Glad to see a representative on here. I had some posts about payment methods but edited them yesterday. They were general questions but just wanted to play it safe by removing them.
 
I really hope they select me for some work. I've never done test before and I'm really anxious to get experience. I am available to test on all platforms. I applied earlier this week, but still haven't had a reply.

Not actually that important
Ensure you're on the "HOME" page - if you logged in after, you may have been redirected and need to click Home again.

The "Only I Sign" link is the third in the list in the bottom-left grey box entitled "Additional Functions".

Couple of questions:

1)I've signed the NDA with Echosign but the "Name of the employer", "employee", "Date" etc were still blank after going through the drill. Only my email and signature (a small pic of my written sig) was pasted on it at the bottom, was that correct/normal?

2)at first, when filling my application, I didn't check "Xbox One" as one of the platforms I own, but I then immediately replied (as suggested in your "you're an eligible canditate" email) to Simon's email with my Gold gamertag, specifying that in fact I do own an Xbox One. Never got a reply, or knew how to check if my application was actually updated with the correct info, so I took the whole survey again (and attached my Tester ID to the application) and this time I made sure to put in all the platforms I can test on. ;)

Does the fact that yesterday I've received the NDA to sign means that I'm in the Xbox One project and that you guys actually updated my profile's info?
Will I receive my download code in time for the next remote test for the XBox One project?

I signed the contract today using echosign.. not sure if I did it right or not.

I sent it to the email they had in the NDA email, then after that echosign said they would sign it and then we would both receive the final copy.

Im hoping that I did this correctly!! Im super pumped to get into this.

I know, it's a bit confusing. I accidentally sent two through Echosign. I didn't see their instructions on here until after I sent the first one.

I think you didn't checked "Only I sign" in your EchoSign homepage, did you? Because they don't have to sign it, it's your signature only that has to be at the bottom. Maybe you can try to contact them on Facebook or Twitter for a quick solution and not sending another NDA...

Sounds like you done it right. Hopefully tomorrow we'll start seeing the xbox one beta invites go out.

Did you also have "Employee Name _____” "Date_______"
"Employee signature _____"

All of them still blank at the end, just with

signature [your pic/mouse written sig here]
email [your@mail here]

at the bottom of the page?

Look who we have here, welcome aboard Gaf ;) And thanks for accepting me on your ship :p

I've got two questions:

1. How long does it take if I send the NDA via e-mail back to you? I understand you're having a busy time right now so I expect a couple days before it's fully processed.

2. Can I edit my information? I think that I forgot to enter my WiiU ID
CaaynDragon
on the application page, is it possible for me to add that to my profile?

Edit: Never mind question 1, I see that you're having a very busy time with the sudden increase of applications. I'll wait patiently.

I got the email requesting my DxDiag (which I did submit a few days ago) but never received an email containing an NDA, though I see everyone mentioning it. I hope I didnt miss something. Is it a catch all or will there be an NDA for each test you participate in?

WOW!

I can't believe that this thread has blown up so big and also got the guys at VMC involved.

All I can say is that my first experience was very professionally run and the communication from VMC over everything has been amazing.

I am really happy that I could get so many GAF members onboard. I hope you all have the experience that I had, and like I said earlier in the thread... breaking NDA's is not cool and will have serious consequences. Be aware of that and remember that this is paid, professional work.

Thank you for the info.

The echosign was different but I think I did it right.

Though I'm unsure because my Adobe E-mail that I signed in with for the echosign website and my e-mail I used for VMC is different so I don't know if that is an issue or not.

As long as your email and signature are there, it's all good!

2)at first, when filling my application, I didn't check "Xbox One" as one of the platforms I own, but I then immediately replied (as suggested in your "you're an eligible canditate" email) to Simon's email with my Gold gamertag, specifying that in fact I do own an Xbox One.

Please don't do the survey more than once, duplicate entries are deleted =]
There's currently 25 XB1 gamertag requests waiting in my folder, I'll get through these today =]

Does the fact that yesterday I've received the NDA to sign means that I'm in the Xbox One project and that you guys actually updated my profile's info?
Will I receive my download code in time for the next remote test for the XBox One project?

For applicants who signed up within the two weeks, only those with Xbox Ones got an NDA, which means your file should be good!

As you guessed it could take some time, Mat still has 326 NDAs to go through and the number is climbing ;]

2. Can I edit my information? I think that I forgot to enter my WiiU ID

Just send an email with that info to vmcmontrealcoordinators@vmc.com and we'll add it! We're also working on a different method to access profiles, look out for news regarding this for this summer! =D

Once you sign the NDA, you're covered for all projects within our program. At this point though, of the recent applicants, only those with an Xbox One listed were sent an NDA as it's our current focus. Once projects on other platforms are available, we'll send new waves of NDAs to applicable candidates =]
