While XBox One players are not expected to share the same instances as PC/Mac players, we can all expect to share the same galactic state:

I’m also pleased to announce PC, Mac and Xbox One players will all share the same overarching narrative and galaxy state. That means even more players contributing to the wars, power struggles and Community Goals across the galaxy.

That being the case, I cannot see any reason why a player who owns a copy for each platform should not be able to choose which platform to play their commander on.

Kickstarter, Alpha and Beta PAID to be able test. If it was not for these people the game would not be as good as it is. I know what it is typical Microsoft demanding something no other platform has for a limited time. It just feels FD instead of fixing bugs that they said would be fixed with PP have spent all their time up Microsofts back side. WE are the people that have stuck with FD put in 100's of hours each testing etc. Then Microsoft pops up and its like. FD want more sales so forget fixing the bugs lets see what we can do for Microsoft. I am going to shut up now before I say something I regret.

Well it's been worth the wait. As a lifelong fan of Elite from back in the day, I'm thrilled its come to Xbox One. Well done Frontier and MS. Was checking it out this morning, and I could see options to purchase content from the online store (skins etc), has anyone tried this yet? Do skins purchased in the web store transfer to the xbox one game? :)

That's lovely and all, and you can keep believing it. But the Terms and Conditions you "read" (unlikely) and agreed to by saying you "read" (still very unlikely) them. Strictly, and very clearly say that you cannot sell your account. And that trumps all other things you may think apply. Because you "read" (lol at this point) and agreed to it, knowing that it would change such 'entitlements' by other laws. It doesn't matter how you try to swing it, with what you think you know about consumer laws and publisher rights, you aren't going to win.

Stop trying to look clever when you're in-fact quite clearly doing the opposite.

The EULA does not in any way shape or form override customer rights in the EU. You can write whatever in the EULA and have me click accept, but if anything in the Terms and Conditions contradicts any right given me by the EU consumer protection it is null and void.

It comes down to if a court would consider Elite:Dangerous a service or product. If it is a service, I do not belive you have the right to transfer it to another, if it is a product you can certainly re-sell it to another person.

(This of course only applies if the product or service is sold in the EU)

I have the same situation in an Polisch store. Support say that never will be availble during a Digital Rights Management.

I'm a little sad if we don't get to fly in the same instances with the console jockeys. It's a big enoug galaxy :)

The problem I see there is communication. Consoles typically don't come with a keyboard equipped (and even if you have one spare, probably not plugged due it to being rather impractical on the couch). Voice coms is almost a must; I am not sitting at my desk with my headset, and even if I were I have no desire to engage in voice communication with any random stranger for what otherwise would be a few short lines typed into the chat box.

Well if thats the case, please can it be confirmed now

I believe that's been confirmed many times .. .

I have said this before quite a few times but everyone who plays Elite should expect at some point that it might be in their best interests to 're roll' or start again. Sorry if that means you lose are your virtual money and equipment that doesn't actually exist, but there you go. In some cases it might actually the game a better experience. The point being that losing a character (or having to start a new one on consoles) shouldn't be seen as a negative, yeah it may hurt for about 5 minutes ... Then you dust yourself off and start again ..

I remember back in the day losing a 3 month save of Frontier due to a dodgy floppy (story of my life!) ...
