Perks and discounts on Guardians
Hardcore Halo fan looking to pick up Halo 5: Guardians on its release day? For those thinking of pre-ordering, there are actually some interesting pre-order perks from several retailers.
Lots of offers abound, but we’re slightly favoring the Microsoft Store (until tomorrow anyways). They’re offering a $10 bonus Xbox gift card and if you pre-order before Friday, October 23rd at 1PM ET you’ll get free release day delivery on 10/27. Otherwise Best Buy’s $10 in “My Best Buy Rewards” plus 20% off for GamersClub Unlocked members is very attractive, as is Amazon’s $10 off deal with a Prime membership.

DLC Bonus Per Retailer
Not all deals are created equal. GameStop, for instance, does not have any bonuses besides a “unique” DLC bonus, while retailers like Walmart only offer bonus incentives and have no unique DLC. The best offers might be those that include both, but in case you’re a big fan and want a specific set of unique DLC, here’s the breakdown of who’s offering what:
- Amazon: Projection SMG with Long Barrel and the Saturnine Visor
- Microsoft: Lagrange Assault Rifle Weapon Skin, Recon Assault Rifle with Energy Bayonet.
- Best Buy: Athlon Armor and Longshot Assault Rifle
- GameStop: Spartan Locke Armor Set
Update: To clarify, these are just DLCs that unlocks said weapon/armor skins above. They are as far as we know cosmetic in nature and won’t change gameplay. You’ll be able to unlock all the items above after launch.
