I probably don't have to ask whom here is looking forward to finally seeing a new game in the Elite series.

Elite: Dangerous

But has anyone tried the Beta yet?

I really wanted to give this a go, especially to see how the multiplayer is handled so far, but I am definitely not paying the current £50 being asked to do so. The game actually started off at $150 on Kickstarter for people to gain access to the Alpha and Beta builds, so it has been reduced now that the Beta's are out.. but that is still too much.. and I bet by the time it reaches retail it will be more like £29 or even £19.

So want to try this, but had to justify the current price, and you can't keep your game saves when the beta gets updated either.

Still, it does look good. Take a look at the screenshots on the site.
