ED Premium Beta in Store

Hi everyone my very first questions, I noticed we can purchase ED Premium Beta Access in Store for 100pounds. Does this also come with Expansion Pack ? Here is the complete description about the Premium Beta Early Access in Store.


Elite: Dangerous - Premium Beta




Be part of the Elite: Dangerous development team!

Pre-order the Elite: Dangerous Premium Beta now to get early access to the first beta stage of game and help us shape Elite: Dangerous!

What you get

The Premium Beta will be available once the Alpha phase is completed. Beta is where the whole game will come together, and by taking part you will have the opportunity for you to play, test and feedback to us.

Each of the Alpha and Beta products gives automatic access to the following development stages, and of course a download copy of the released game!

Expansion Pass giving you automatic access to all major downloadable expansion packs.

Availability: Coming 2014

Hi intel. Yes, as I read the bit you highlighted in blue, you will get access to all the expansion packs when they are released. Which could be 6 months to a year plus after the initial product has been launched. Hopefully sooner or course!
 
Thank you Memnoch

Just got myself Elite Premium Beta only because it does come with Expansion Pass. Didn't realize 100P = $168.15 USD WOW. First the first time I realized how Strong Pounds are compared to our currency.

I bet you are glad this didn't come out in 2007. It was just over $2 to the £ back then!

Today for the first time, I feel like I have been living under a rock. Did not realize economy has changed so much while our wages aren't changing as quick but that's another topic. Glad to be the part of Elite Community. Never played any previous elite Games but I have been looking for a replacement for EVE ONILNE since 2003 and I think ED is going to be the one.

Wish I knew about this Project earlier, so I could get some extra goodies but I am here that matters. Again thank you for the input.
 
so what is the difference between beta access and premium beta access?

Premium beta gets you into the first round of beta (slated for January, but maybe later if necessary) and you get all the major expansions as they come out. Standard beta gets you into second round beta (February or maybe later), but not sure if you'll get the expansions too.
 
Is this thread asking if the text in the Premium Beta package is true ?
You've actually highlighted the answer to your question in the first post ?
 
Just to be clear, The Expansion pack included in the Premium beta will give access to all the expansion packs for the entire life of the product? Not just the first year (ala seasons pass model)?

You can also just buy the expansion pass only for £35.
 
Well I've been watching all the Kerrash Landings videos on youtube and finally decided to take the plunge tonight and ordered myself the premium beta. Really looking forward to it.
 
It was on the basis of those videos and few of the others on here that i bought the Prem Beta. Frontier ought to give those guys a gift for the excellent videos they make!

Yeah, and they've been consistently stronger than our $ for decades upon decades...

Apparently yes, for life. If you play throughout your life, of course ...
