UPDATE: Xbox Update soon!!

Here's the rub.

if FD releases info about a PC update and doesn't give Xboxers any news.. stuff hits the fan.

But also, if they miss the May 8th date, SOMEONE is calling them out on their .

I don't envy FD's position here.

The news is much appreciated though.

I'm curious, was the decision to use points instead of currency an issue of exchange rates? Digital content pricing control? Localization? All of the above? Understandable if you can't go into the details, but I would love to know the design intent there.

My best guess, now they dont need Microsoft to publish stuff.. Also, now, they can add content as they see fit.. Pretty much like Ubisoft is doing it.

uh.. was in the Ubi-store last night.. the one built into The Division for XB1... everything was priced in dollars there.

Bungie is using "Silver" in Destiny, which to me sounds like a better comparison than what Ubisoft is doing.
 
This was probably asked before, sorry.

Since the we're still using the Frontier store and our Frontier accounts, would things like paint-jobs be account-based or console-based? Like, a PC player has a pirate skin for PC. He buys ED for Xbox One, does he need to rebuy the skin for Xbox One or would he already have it?

As such, would we see things like Founder Skins/Decals on Xbox One via PC Founders who switched over to console?
 
well..that's just great, you found more ways to take my money! Great news! Pretty excited. Now i have to hunt down an elite controller. See now there needs to be a special edition Elite Dangerous , Elite Controller. It needs to happen....somebody call Phill!

Paintjobs and game extras have to be purchase for the account/platform you are playing on. I would need to check regarding the Decals as I'm not 100% sure.
Like most developers these days, we went with VC on the Xbox so that we could use the same Store content across all our platforms and keep availability in sync. I think there might be a Live Stream next week during which we'll give a demo of how this is going to work.

So I read the announcement, this is FANTASTIC NEWS!!! I do have a question (that may have been answered some place already), but there is mention of a beta for 1.6, is that going to be a beta on the xbox as well or just for the PC?

Did i say Ubisoft?... How could i!
 
Ooh! Ooh! *Waves hand* I have a question! How will Xbox Commanders get the Mercenary (Super cool skull) decals? We can't purchase a 'Mercenary Edition' of the game, there's just one. Thanks.

As XB1 and PC/Mac accounts are completely separate it's very unlikely...

Yeah, I quoted myself...I have no shame... Is the xbox going to get the beta or just PC?
 
I have 2 questions:

- Right now the Xbox Elite controller can only duplicate regular buttons on the paddles. Are those paddles gonna be customizable with their own controls after 1.6? Or is that still locked my Microsoft?

- Will we have access to past paint jobs that we missed out on because they weren't available to us yet? Like the Black Friday, or the PAX paint jobs like the one we submitted to that form with a few months back? What about the gold one?

No complaints here, I'm super stoked for this update. This is just genuine curiosity.
