A few hours ago I got the newsletter from Frontier and it says that Xbox One owners will be able to buy the David Braben bobblehead for a limited time (until June 20th). Sadly it's not at the store yet (despite what the newsletter says) but I definitely will buy it! Can't wait. :) Tell me if you see it in the store!

What they don't tell you is that his bobble eyes secretly activate your kinnect cameras so that he can literally watch you.

If this is true I'm buy me one, and put on A SHOW! Like helicopter-style. Don't look at me like that, all men do it at some point.

There's going to be people buying it and throwing crazy curves to see if they can break his neck because of the increased AI difficulty!

Sad that i see this as a 100% certainty and not a possibility mentioned as a joke. :p

It's a bank holiday weekend here in the Uk so I would check the store out on Tuesday. I will be.

The AI on the bobbleheads has been ramped up. They now nod much more aggressively. 3 pips to systems otherwise say bye to your canopy the moment they bang against it :D

Shame those two seem to have fallen out of legal this that and the other. Would be nice to see an Ian Bell station. To be fair though, as much as there has been written about the whole situation you never really know the full truth. I feel a bit bad even for mentioning it :)

Shame nobody remembers Ian Bell. He's the Jeb to Braben's Notch.

Yes I know. I honestly don't know what happened between the two masterminds. But even Elite II had the "David Braben presents" prefix before its title so Mr. Braben's legacy goes back a long long way. For me Mr. Braben is a true legend and I'd like to shake hands with him one day and thank him for creating what's one of my favourite games ever. Until then a bobblehead will do. :)

Also, if you have 22 minutes watch this awesome BBC documentary about the original Elite. https://youtu.be/GpWoF5uVgbA
