Currently on sale for £15 on the UK Xbox store, but almost half that (774,50R) if you go via the Russian store which is simple and not scary at all :)
The link to the Russian product page is:
https://store.xbox.com/ru-RU/Xbox-One/Bundle/Elite-Dangerous-Standard-Edition/74e9cc2a-16d1-4689-ab2a-117e73fa02c4
If this does not work, try switching region at Xbox.com and searching for the product.
Instructions below:
1) Go to the Russian MS store (http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msru/ru_RU/list/categoryID.68295800). You may need to switch locales (bottom left) if you page is redirected to UK.
2) If you are using Chrome, choose the option to translate the page when offered (in the top bar) - this will make it easier to see what you're doing.
3) Unless you already have some Ruble balance in your account, you will need to purchase enough balance to cover the purchase - so that's 500R + 1000R in this case (or 3 x 500). Add these to your basket and click "Checkout".
4) You will be asked to sign-in. Sign in with your normal Microsoft account.
5) Once signed-in, fill in the details for the invoice. I used a Russian university address:
7-9 University emb.
St.Petersburg
199034
6) Add your card details as requested. You can store all of these details for next time.
7) Click the Terms checkbox and then click "Complete the purchase".
8) Once the checkout is completed, you will be presented with the redemption codes for the gift cards. Make a note of these, or keep this browser tab open.
9) Now go to xbox.com and ensure your region is set to Russia, then sign in. Once logged in, click your Avatar (top-right) then select "Use code" (second item from last).
10) Redeem ("Activate") each of the credit codes you just bought by entering the 25-digit codes. You can check your Rubles balance in the Account section (Avatar->top item, "Microsoft Account").
11) Now go to the product page on Xbox.com, then click the "Buy Now for Xbox One" button.
12) A dialogue will pop-up confirming the price and that you will use your Russian credit balance to pay, click the green button to confirm and purchase.
That's it! Go to Games & Apps on your console, download, and congratulate yourself for all the money you just saved.

Thanks, I didn't check other regions as Russia is so easy to buy from - but thanks :smiley:

You've never heard of Elite? It's okay, worth it just for the hyperspace sequences IMO :wink:

I find it far easier to use revoult. once you have purchased once from a region it saves the card details meaning future purchases are essentially 2 clicks.

I just use my normal Visa debit. Saves the details fine for next time.

Yes, it has to be connected to the Internet, even if you are playing in solo mode.

Hmmm I'm torn. Elite Dangerous Horizons is out soon which is probably why this is so cheap. As far as I know - if you buy Horizons you get the main game as well. But if you already own the original - I wonder if Horizons will be cheaper as an upgrade or whether you have to buy full version.
Without Horizons you don't get planetary landings and other updates out and due out. It's like a season pack.

I'm inclined to agree, I nearly clicked on 'buy' some time ago, then did a bit of reading that suggested horizons was 'on the horizon'. I don't mind waiting a little longer, but it is definitely on my 'to buy' list.

Great price. I bought an XB1 just for this game (after playing it on PC)

by using revoult you can cut out the entire middle bit of the process and you don't need to purchase any Russian ruble credit.
