Not completly sure what this is but apparently Frontier sends you something if you input a date that you find special on that day. Not sure what possibly just a discount code for skins but still nice.

June 3rd #Horizons

I set mine for June 3rd. Maybe I'll get my very first ever paintjob for free? Pwwease!

 

[Comrade Error]

Yea also set my to 3rd. Was tempted to set it as 4th because I might not buy it at launch. I know I've been asking for pre-order but that was just hype talking. I know it has been worked on for a long time but I'm not a fan of pre-ordering and would rather hear what you guys have to say about how it runs and looks maybe see some clips and such before buying in.

ditto 3rd June, i'd imagine that most xbox cmdrs will pick this date

I picked August 20th, its the date of the mestersegek unnepe (basically a festival in Budapest in Hungary for the crown of the first Hungarian king. Yes I am half Hungarian )

I don't even know what your other half is. English?

I was in Budapest a couple of years ago. It was nice. There was a cool market that sold lots of foods. Some lovely Barszcz (Polish spelling) and some cakes and chocolate.

As we do have a few threads on this I'll close this one in a little while but yes Frontier want's to give you nice things on your special day.

And with the announcement it's not a bad time to be a XB player is it.

 

[Comrade Error]

Could you bump it one last time before you close it?

 

[Sir.Tj]

No...

Oh wait.... damn it..

No, a bad time would be 7pm, when it's beddy-byes.

Runs.

Yes other half English. I go over to Hungary every year in the summer, always great

got to wait till next march but means I'm special not like the june 3rd crowd

 

[Dutchman141]

Thanks for the heads-up Error!

I picked June 3rd because Horizons will mark a special moment in my life as an Elite gamer.
I've played the original Elite on the Commodore 64 back in the eighties and about every game based on Elite's concept.
ED is the ultimate and now we're gonna get planetary landings, the number one item that whas hoped for by so many Elite style game players through all those years since the eighties.
FD I think you stole a lot of hearts with ED, you've got mine that's for sure!!!!!!

Ugh, getting all mushy again.............

I received my special day a few days ago, which was a discount code.
I suspect that it will be useless as I play on xbox. Ticket raised with frontier.

Sorry, that discount is for PC/Mac only and does not apply to the Xbox store.

Microsoft may run Elite Dangerous Xbox promotions but we have no public information about those at this time.

Best regards,

.......Hope you get something you can use! !!

 

[Sir.Tj]

I'm picking tomorrow as it's the day I'm banning err.....I mean I like Saturdays...

Hmm. That's discouraging.
Still, theoretical rep to Error for the heads-up. I got the missus to sign up too.
