There have been a couple of questions from Mac users about availability.
Quick screen shot of the Order page should alleviate those fears at least.
I guess not for Steam users though

So, by new gameplay do you mean different physics that could reverse the balance between ships for example ?
Sounds great. This is moving ED much more towards the adventure/exploration realm, which is definitely what I signed up for. Trailer looks great and I'm sure the buggy will be tons of fun.
I'm sure everyone would like to see this stuff as well. But today is PL Day, and it is a good day!

ARE THE SERVERS DOWN
Thanks Zieman
I went ahead and checked the original Kickstarter Campaign page and found this:
"The £80 pledge tier and higher now also includes free expansions for Elite: Dangerous! For more information on likely expansions check the Development Plan video further down the page."

Then you are setting yourself up for a fall .. just saying ...
It probably will be seamless (in that there will be no loading), but don't expect to be in control the whole time, its perfectly possible there will be some sort of hyperspace style screen whilst the planet loads in.
Hopefully that wont be the case and it will be completely seamless and controlable, but as stated don't get your hopes up just yet.

Does this indicate that you can own one without the other i.e. PL is a standalone expansion?
Two things...
1) Seemless is subjective of course... You could press your "jump" button and you seemlessly "warp" down to atmospheric flight near the surface?
2) Frankly seemlessly flying too/around the planet is the least of my worries. I'm more concerned what we get added depth/gameplay wise. ie: If all we can do it press a new discovery scanner button, and now shoot mining lasers on rocks on the ground (instead of space), is that really going to add new depth, and offer intereting or emergent gameplay?

Ok, sounds better and I appreciate the reponse but what does a "season of expansions" mean? is it two expansions it gets or 3 or , the pricing is too vague Michael. No one seems to understand what they are buying. Also you need to make sure we can have more than one commander because this impacts the people who have bought more than one version of the original game. Appreciate the reply though
I guess not for Steam users though
Anything bought in the Frontier store will show up in your steam version.

I'll admit I'm a bit disappointed that we will apparently have to pay extra to access the beta for this even if we already bought into the beta for the original game. ¨For pretty much every other early-access game I've supported, once you had beta once, it carried over to any expansions. Of course, the main reason I'm disappointed is that I'm not sure I can financially defend spending the extra money AGAIN, even though I do want to
Other than that though, I'm very excited for this!
Where exactly did you get that information that you have to pay extra to access the beta for PL? Did you make that up, or do you have a reference?
Check your purchase, mine shows as premium beta
yes servers down for update
