History of pricing. Currency is EURO and its not designated otherwise but just numbers to save space etc. Prices found from frontierstore.net.
Alpha access 240.
Premium Beta 120.
Horizons pre-order 49,99 so for me to get even I have to get 1.4x expansions, ie Elite itself 49,99 + Horizons 49,99 == 99,98 and one more exansion would be 149,97 total.
To sum it up; I'll benefit when second expansion is released :)

I have not paid attention to Elite Dangerous news and community, could this perhaps be some special 2024 october autumn sale, or are these lowered prices (for example Odyssey is ridiculously cheap) permanent, no idea. There is this from 2023 Elite Dangerous Seasonal Sales but nothing for 2024.
