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
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.
GameStop
There is a lack of originality with preorder bonuses when it comes to Star Wars Battlefront. Although GameStop offered a pretty cool Xbox One faceplate with its Fallout 4 bundle, there's nothing like that in the works for preorders of the latest Star Wars game. In fact, GameStop offers the same thing everyone else does: early access to the Battle of Jakku.
However, the good news is that GameStop does have something else for those who preorder the game: an exclusive double-sided poster that features images from Battlefront. The poster ships with orders made in advance, but gamers can also pick them up in stores with proof of purchase on the game's day of release.
GameStop also offers the deluxe edition that both Best Buy and Amazon offer that has the in-game items, including Han Solo's DL-44 blaster and the Victory emote. You can also pick up the PlayStation 4 bundle there, too.
Electronic Arts
You would think Battlefront's publisher would offer even better preorder bonuses than other retailers, at least through its Origin website. However, EA is pretty much on par for the course: the standard edition of the game gets you early access to the Battle of Jakku, with the deluxe edition getting the additional five in-game items.
However, EA does have something that other retailers do not: the Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition.
"The Star Wars Battlefront Ultimate Edition has everything fans need to live out their Star Wars battle fantasies," reads EA's website.
The Ultimate Edition doesn't just include everything in the deluxe edition, but also a season pass to all DLC released by EA for Battlefront. However, that's not all: players who preorder the Ultimate Edition get two-week access to all DLC not yet released before other players. This edition retails for $119.99.
Star Wars Battlefront launches on Nov. 17.
