I have money, how do I "get" this game? :)

Is this game in Beta or something? I'm on a limited monthly income but have a little put back. What is the minimum I need to pledge/spend to get access to Elite Dangerous? It looks really good! Thanks!
 
I believe, as it stands now, you can pre-buy the game which gives you immediate access to the single-player tutorial and you will be in the Elite universe on the 16th, including access to the extra goodies in the Mercenary Edition.

See here.

Access to the Gamma test phase, which is the final pre-release version, is now closed and only those of us who came in to Beta before 22nd November are able to play.

Awesome! I'll wait for release to see if there a cheaper "standard" version available. Thanks!
 
The Mercenary Edition is the standard edition, except with a few bonuses you get for preordering. It was called standard before they added the preorder incentives. Expect it to be renamed to standard after launch, at the same price but without the preorder bonuses.
 
Hmm....can't afford it then. I'll have to just wait and see what happens. BTW, I've posted more than 2 threads and I still can't access my avatar or any profile settings. :(

You will save money if you order now and also get some nice extras. Also you will be able to download the combat demo immediately.

Heck sell something on eBay if you have lots of items you never use anymore collecting dust. Even old cellphones, PDAs, classic IBM PCs can be sold at selective commercial websites. Trade it in for a game experience.

Might also want to consider some Pins and T shirts. I've seen an Elite pin from the '80s go for $300.00 at auction. So in 30 years this stuff might be worth a fortune! Then again I still have an original 1st release Rubik's Cube sealed in the package which never improved in value as they still make the things.
 
LOL. My mistake. Somehow I understood the phrase "I have money" to mean you had money. :D

Bloodlines fan by the way?
Let me be more specific, I have money, but I don't have $43 to spend. :) What is Bloodlines?

'I dont have money can I still buy the game' might have been a more appropriate title. :)
hehehe Fair enough. :D
 
I've put together just enough cash to get the pre-order Mercenary bundle (I hope). Does anyone know exactly how much it is in American currency? Thanks!

Your avatar reminds me of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.
Bloodlines is the single best first person vampire action/rpg ever made.
hehehehe Nice!
