Anyone else looking at this game? I think of it as a direct competitor to Star Citizen. The initial gameplay footage and graphics are very encouraging. Here's a link to the website

"THE GALAXY IS YOURS
Elite: Dangerous is the spectacular new sequel in the Elite series of games.

Head for the stars, take a ship and trade, bounty-hunt, pirate or assassinate your way across the galaxy in this massively multiplayer online space adventure

It's an awe inspiring, beautiful, vast place; with 400 billion star systems, planets, moons and asteroid fields just waiting to be explored and exploited."

There's a premium beta going on right now (I think players paid $125-150 for access) with a standard beta access coming up on July 29th, after you pay $75 (access to standard beta plus the released game). There's also a lifetime expansion pass for $50 that expires the 29th as well (secures all future expansion content). Wondering if anyone has paid for access or participated in the beta so far. Looks like a promising open space sim.
 
I have a co-worker that bought the beta and he is in love... the graphics and flight engine are awesome... best $75 he has spent in years he says
 
Anyone have suggestions on joysticks? I wish I could afford the TM HOFA, but for almost $500, I have better uses for my money. I've been keeping an eye on this and Star Citizen, and I'm really liking what I see with Elite Dangerous (not to mention it comes out first).
