Elite: Dangerous Boxed - Upgrade Edition

[trekman]

i had a look in the elite store today to check if there were any new interesting items. I did purchase myself some new paint jobs but there was something else that caught my eye and that was Elite: Dangerous Boxed - Upgrade Edition for just £10. Very nice I thought so I clicked on buy but have hit a problem. The store will only let me buy a minimum of 20 which would come to £200 Obviously I only want one so is everyone getting this problem or is it just me? I had a quick look for other threads but couldn't find any but I apologise if i've missed them.

Curious as I am I checked too and got this "There has been an error processing your request"

Ooo hoo!

I saw that as well - I'm definitely wanting to pay to upgrade to a boxed version (was intending to buy one anyway if it was decided they would ever be released). £10 extra saves me £20!
.
Unfortunately the store is stuffed - got kicked out trying to buy a Lave T-Shirt and a 'free' range of Cobra paint schemes - think this is a sales error.

Put free stuff on and people are going to jump on it whether they want it or not. Mind, free Cobra skins is a good giveaway.

Hmmm... If it's free, why not just add it everyone's profile? Save a bit of trouble.

Good idea. They probably should have added these free paint jobs to the patch they released earlier today. Would have saved a lot of problems I think.

there is the possibility that they put the free skins up as a way to test the store account/game account link and the application of skins in outfitting.

The store is accessible again but they still want me to buy 20 boxes when I only want one. Please sort this out soon Frontier

Yeah, that's what I thought. Not exactly the DRM free one that they'd originally promised is it? You're just buying a dust collecting white elephant, really, and you can probably buy such pointless dust collectors from a poundshop.
