The release of Star Wars Battlefront is only a week away, so for those who haven’t yet preordered the game, there are still bonuses to gain by doing so.
However, what exactly are retailers offering to gamers who buy early? Some retailers offer bonuses in the form of game discounts. Others offer special limited edition posters including artwork from the game. Still, other retailers opt for early access to DLC.
So, which preorder bonus is for you? Here’s a full list of all that are currently available.
Amazon offers early access to Star Wars Battlefront content with its preorder offer. Gamers who buy the title in advance get to experience the Battle of Jakku a week before everyone else, on Dec. 1 (other players have to wait until Dec. 15 to access that content).
“Preorder Star Wars Battlefront and on December 1st, 2015, be among the first players to experience the Battle of Jakku, the pivotal moment when the New Republic confronted key Imperial holdouts on a remote desert planet in the Outer Rim,” writes Amazon on its product page. “Taking place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, players will experience the events that created the massive, battle-scarred landscape of Jakku shown in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
Amazon also offers a deluxe version that includes in-game content: a DL-44 blaster, Ion Grenade, Ion Torpedo, Ion Shock and Victory emote. That edition retails for $69.99.
Finally, for those who don’t yet have a console to play Battlefront on, Amazon has a Star Wars Battlefront PlayStation 4 500 GB bundle that includes the console, the game and a customized controller for $399.
Best Buy
Unfortunately, Best Buy doesn’t have anything as cool as socks with its Star Wars Battlefront preorder offer, but it does offer something even better: cash. Of course, it does require a little work: you must sign up as a My Best Buy member and then preorder the game. Then, you’ll receive $10 in reward certificates that are, obviously, only good at Best Buy.
However, Best Buy also offers 20 percent off Battlefront for those gamers who are also Unlocked members of its My Best Buy Gamers Club. That subscription costs $30 per year, so it is probably only valuable if you purchase a lot of games from the retailer.
Best Buy also offers a deluxe version of the game that includes the same in-game items offered by the Amazon deluxe edition, as well as the same PlayStation 4 bundle.
Also, all preorders of Battlefront from Best Buy get early access to the Battle of Jakku.
