Yep, which is a very good reason for people to buy now if interested, or even wait until beta impressions.
Worth buying now?

To me a brand New game Retail is 60£.
So if i spend 80+£ for a Lifetime of expansion passes its a no brainer. (my recomendation)
Anything above that is just cause i can afford it and i know all the money i spent go directly to the dev's instead of it go to middle men who have no clue what this game means to us backers.
I dont regret for a sec to have spent all the Money i have, 200£ on kickstarter page, 150£ hotas joystick, 1000£ New grafix card 27 inch screen. prolly up to 300 for the OR kit when it go Retail. ??? on the online store for even more fluff.
All this is Worth the buy for ME, As a avid forum member i have no regrets , just make sure you dont have any either, how much that ammount up to is YOUR Choice.

I shudder to think how much money Elite has cost me 
But so far it's been worth every penny! Alpha has been so impressive the GF has now upgraded her backing level and invested in a HOTAS, and we're now looking at getting her a new laptop to enjoy it on
Simply put, even at alpha, this game oozes grandness and puts many releases to shame.
Keep up the good work FD!

Pre-Order Elite Dangerous
I have pre-ordered Elite Dangerous for £35.00, how do I proceed to get accounted among the backers?

Log in to the store https://store.zaonce.net and splodge down the cash for Alpha
My interest is not playing the game now, i.e. Alpha. I am willing to wait for the final game that is why I pre-ordered. Isn't a pre-order in a way similar to a backer?

I think, but may be wrong, that the "backer" status (whatever that may mean) ended for new subscriptions with the demise of the backers' app in December last.
Anyone buying from the new store won't get access to the private backers forum for example so not quite backers I suppose.
Many lower-level backers don't have access to the PBF either - min £75 for that.
They all get the electronic decal though, which allows access to the Founders' World.
Who do you contact to get acces to alpha-forum?
Random question, and apologies if it's been answered elsewhere, but does purchasing one of the betas provide you with the same benefits as those who bought through Kickstarter for the same price? For example, the Premium Beta is £100, and obviously that gives you beta access. But if you purchased Premium Beta during the Kickstarter process, you also get (I believe) extra credits when starting, various starting scenarios, your name used for NPCs, Pirate start, digital music, digital novel, premium boxed version of the game, and more?
On the expansions thing, from the Kickstarter:
That seems fairly wriggle-proof.
