There is no simple cancel button with them. Also if you live in a place that doesn't require them to give the refunds, it can be a task at times to get them to do it.
oh dear i hope it wasn't expensive coffee, Coffee is for gamer's what Tea is to posh Brit's
You have to contact them unfortunately m8 although you can do it by email.
My advice to you though is don't! I've already got the game on xbox so it makes little difference to me but for peeps that have been waiting for so long it's still worth sticking with it.

I just read the news on Eurogamer. Here goes:
Space-faring game Elite Dangerous will get a 4K patch for the Xbox One X's launch on 7th November.
The game is being shown here in Los Angeles at E3, where Xbox One X was debuted just two days ago.
"We will of course be embracing it at Frontier," Elite Dangerous director David Braben said in a statement to Eurogamer. "Elite Dangerous runs very well on the Xbox One X, in 1080p and in 4K, at launch."

What do you think. Also, Gary if you read this, can you comment anything on this? Higher graphics settings, better framerate, anything?

Your passion shall be increased 10fold when you finally play the PS4 Elite: Dangerous.
There is no lack of passion on FD's part towards the PS4 version. The Cobra Engine they use to build the game is a true multi-platform authoring tool.
I think there is a good chance the game will run even better than it does on the Xbox.
The frustration is a function of your ability to have patience, which you show quite admirably.

I can cut them some slack for not commenting further on the XBox One X - it was just announced, and the console itself won't be in stores until November. The irony is that we know more about how ED on XBox One X than we do about PS4 / PS4 Pro. That math just don't add up.
Gully, I appreciate the comment. This may sound crazy, but if Ed Lewis (or any rep from FDev) had posted your comment word-for-word, I think we might all feel more reassured, but until that happens.....

Agreed, you are right, its not a place I expected to be in 2 weeks before PS4 launch, I guess this is the way, the FDev way.

They are afraid that if they talk about it too much that too many people will want to play on day one. That's it. This is how they prevent server overload. I figured it out.
From a parallel thread. A flavour of the sort of questions that are still unanswered.
What they should be afraid of is that any search regarding ED on PS4 leads to this forum. Think about that for a minute...
Dav mentioned specifically on the live stream the other night that they are very confident they can cope with numbers on release. Servers automatically spin up to cope with load. I am guessing the Salome event was partly to see how things would go on PS4 launch.
not true, Dav was on the live stream last Thursday and said that they have already got adequate server space to accommodate a rush of players on launch day. so that's one false rumor down, just another thousands more to go
Old Duck is correct though and it does not make sense at this point that they have not shown off any "real" game play from the PS4. I wish they would show both the PS4 and Pro versions. Not just the tutorial that was shown a couple months ago. Actually landing on planets, going into stations, being around a large battle, jumping from system to system. This what I want to see and does have me concerned a little being that we are SO close to getting this ourselves. It should be something that Frontier should want to do I would think from a marketing standpoint (even though 'marketing' is a little to late).

I'll give it you to, that made me laugh. Of all the replies to get. It's all good. We are all just venting anyway since we can't play yet....I could use a Snickers myself.
Mmmmm, no. It's okay to be nice to Brett (hi Brett!), but don't go changing the narrative.
