Cost On Console?

[Von Adder]

After buying the game on PC am i right in thinking that i have to buy it again on console?

There are a myriad of reasons why i want the console version, most of those reasons being a lot of my friends are console gamers and have been looking forward to ED on that format. On Steam we were given a code to redeem for the game, will this be the same on console?

yeah. Knowing early access titles it'l be pricey. 50 quid. 45 if you use the voucher emailed to you.

£24.99 (early access price) according to https://community.elitedangerous.com/node/202

It's offered for very little (30 or so). And ofcourse you have to pay it, MS is not a charity organisation...

that's not bad, i expected it to be much much more expensive. is it the full game, or is it just arena mode that is being tested??

Wether MS is a charity organisation or not, paying twice for a product i already own is a rip off, no matter how you look at it! Talking to Microsoft and supplying keys for pc owners should be paramount.

Wonder how long it'll be before someone posts a faux outrage thread about how 'early access' on the XBONE cost less than it did on PC?

Should we order in more popcorn?

Better get a lorry load!

In all seriousness though, i can't help but feel a little RIPPED OFF!

What was that about Braben and his once erstwhile partner? Oh yeah!

Probably not as ripped off as anyone who kick started the original project to a reasonable level and has to effectively buy it again to play it on a console.
