Dropping this in as it's getting there now. BETA costs £50.00 though, so quite a bit if you want to go in early. The pre order is a more reasonable £35.00 pencilled in for a 2014 release, so soon I guess.
Multi-player and it's a pay once and play the game.
I used to play the first ELITE on my college's BBC Micro B computers - it was a great game.

Interesting :)
I found some gameplay ...
Elite: Dangerous Is Smashing - Part 1 (Beta Gameplay) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MTCLlszk5k#ws)
That was quite funny, the game looks nice I think. :thumbsup:

That brings back memories. Only really played the original, though did look at the sequels.
£50 for the beta though. Seems a little steep.
Yep a little steep to me too, especially when the release date is around the corner.
They raised over $1,000,000 in crowd funding, I kind of thought they would just have a open beta like other games, but maybe that much money doesn't stretch as far as I think.
Think I will wait till the release date.
In case anyone else is interested Elite is on sale from now over the weekend.
Good timing, I nearly bought it a couple of days ago ;D
