Hi Commander,

We are delighted to announce Tuesday 16th December as the release date for Elite: Dangerous!

There are only 15 more days to become a Beta backer, play immediately and take advantage of this and the lasting benefits that playing the Beta will give you.

There are also only 39 days left to pre-order the game and get The Elite: Dangerous Mercenary Edition additional content, and benefit from the £4.99 discount.

If you have already pre-ordered the final game you can still become part of the Beta now and take advantage of the lasting benefits that will give you, by upgrading your account, which will only cost you an additional £15.

Interested? Just go to the store, put the Beta in your basket and the correct discount will be applied when you checkout.

Last but not least for newsletter 48, we explain why we have put a Mac specific product link to our store.

News for Mac Users
We want to clarify what buying Elite: Dangerous now means for everyone.

Everyone who has bought or who will buy Elite: Dangerous will be able to download either, or both, PC and Mac versions as and when they each become available for no additional charge.

Elite: Dangerous will be available for Mac next year after we have released the game on PC. To be clear, if you own both a PC and a Mac and want to switch your play between both, you will be able to do so as often as you like, as your ‘save’ is held in the cloud.

Are there any micro-transactions associated with the game? Or the 50$ is all you need to pay?

You can paint your ship for some cash, but you never really see it anyway. Its more like a way to support the game/developer.

There have been a few 'paint jobs' you can buy, but it's pretty much the full game and then some later expansions.

Oh, cool. Just in time for Christmas. Will there be a box copy in retailers?
