I Second that, there are 3 things i Need to know,
What improvements will ED have on PS4 Pro?.. in particular with 1080p tvs, Im hoping for high graphics settings.
Will ED PS4 only be supporting the T.flight Hotas 4 or will some others work too? (this i need to know this before launch day, Please)
What are the chances of eventually getting PSVR support
PS 3d audio support with the Sony Platinum headset would be amazing, if any game would benefit from 3D soiund its Elite

Correrection needed: Hotas t-flight 4 not the "x" is the only offical licenses hotas.
Yes, I am also waiting for PS4 Pro info as I only have 1080p tv too.
Btw it is the Thrustmaster T.Flight 4 that is supported by PS4 not the X.
I'm with Stormy.
You still get benefits on 1080p. In fact, you might actually opt to play it at 1080p on your PS4 Pro to get a locked 60fps. That's a strategy we No Man's Sky players use at times. You just tell the PS4 Pro to use 1080p for a particular game, and you'll get highly detailed visuals (PS4 Pro doing it's visual processing magic) and the framerate goes through the roof because you're not in 4K.
Things i'd like to know:
Pre-order bonuses
- will we get Cobra MK4?
- will physical copies get gold Sidewinder?
- will non-USA preorders get Elite avatars?
- any special editions (physical Cobra MK3 model plz?)?
VR
- any more on PSVR than "we're looking into it"?
like can you say if the issue is the original PS4 holding things back; can it be released as say a graphical upgrade on PS4 Pro only; how about in the released game having a beta "at your own risk" checkbox to enable PSVR, to circumvent Sony's requirements *cough* just for feedback?
Graphical options (my preferences for Pro)
- 60fps 1080p + supersampling / high
- 30fps 1080p + supersampling / ultra
- ...
- 30fps 4K + sub-high
I'd definitely favour framerate, FoV (field of view) and textures (especially planetary) over 4K. Definitely give us FoV slider!
HOTAS and controller support
- do we get full button remapping? and I mean every PC option able to be chosen if one likes (including deadzone customisation, inverted and hold toggles etc)
- other Thrustmaster product support? eg Warthog
- other manufacturers? eg Saitek / Logitech
PSN / integration
- implement PSN "players met" properly
- allow PSN level player blocking to block users in Elite (including them resetting their CMDR account in-game, and PSN subaccounts, ie inheritance from PSN master account)
- multicrew joining from PSN Party groups and "games in progress"
- allow 100% trophy completion solo (Ed has already confirmed CQC trophies, but for the love of whatever deity(s) you believe in, give us bots or something so we do not need human players)

Sit back down! No seriously I am with you Stinja, we are with you! 
Some I can answer "unofficially" as I did some digging, can't claim official answers because no one wants to update the FAQ.
- will physical copies get gold Sidewinder?
No, appears this is only for digital copies, the FAQ kinda implies it but doesn't explicitly say so.
- will non-USA preorders get Elite avatars?
Apparently not, a big disappointment to me. Apparently some "legal" issue exists which kinda does not make sense to me considering FDev is a UK company, still it was intentional apparently, not a mistake.
Your good stuff
graphical options (my preferences)
- 60fps 1080p + supersampling / high
- 30fps 1080p + supersampling / ultra
-
- 30fps 4K + sub-high
These are the answers I want also. But the rest of your questions are also good and spot on. Highlights for me:
- implement PSN "players met" properly
Either this or the history tab in game needs to be working, but again a question I have asked that fell on deaf ears.
- will we get Cobra MK4?
I hope for this, the last chance is they are going to release it for all as its not announced as a PS4 bonus.
Is it the 27th yet?

We are not getting them, see my post above yours Jon.
Sorry mate, I didnt even notice your post!
I wonder what legal issue there could be that would prevent FDev from giving out an image that they own?
That makes no sense to me.
Seeing they have been so quick to announce 4K support for the Xbox One X, which isn't out until November, i don't its unreasonable of us to expect confirmation on 4K support for PS4 pro, seeing its less than a fortnight from launch.
Please can somone from FDEV confirm when we will know some details on this? Cheers

since you joined the dark side you have changed, i would go see a doctor about it...
... oh you are a doctor
I'm fairly up-to-date on "digging answers" too, so don't take it the wrong way when I say I give no credence to your post, and want word from FDev themselves
So the 27th...
I guess i'll just have to keep playing in the PC beta. Not got the Cutter or Corvette in my main save, so interesting to see if they're worth the grind...

I am fairly certain we are not getting avatars (that came from an FDev rep so its as official as I can give unless they post it here as I can't in good faith post private chat stuff here), or sidewinder for physical disk, but yeh no worries. I don't believe myself half the time either.
I wish you luck getting anything official, from anyone.

FDev is short for "Fail to Deliver" (answers).

I would be good to get an official line. I would want parity across all countries for pre-order content.
I would guess that it is due to differences between Frontier needing to work with different regional divisions of Sony and the associated certification of what is / is not allowed.
I know multiple language support issues cause problems for more games for Sony Europe than it does for Sony America (that is just one example.)
"Ask and ye shall receive"?I wish you luck getting anything official, from anyone.
At this point i'm moving from providing (arguably) useful info to poo-posting as a protest
I'm sure everyone here does appreciate your quick responses, and efforts to keep conversation going though.FDev plz?!
