For all of you that don’t know about the 4 different ultimate edition retailers (Best Buy, GameStop and two others) have different things that come with the game. This makes me very mad. They should all have the exact same bonuses for anywhere you order the game. I can’t get the HW2 steel book and the Lootcrate designed Atriox statue unless I planned on getting two copies of the same game. And the retailer selling the steel book is from Australia. Nothing against them but why aren’t they selling the steel book in their own country with the most halo fans. I guess I’ll just get the normal ultimate edition on Xbox store.
I agree all content should be available to everyone know matter where you buy it.

Retailers disagree… Its annoying I know but at least they aren’t locking ingame content to people that go to the wrong retailer. I really hope that never happens.
I was just going to post a similar topic. I’m wondering what the best bonus is here in the US. It seems most retailers are just offering Blitz card packs.
I’m a little confused as to what Microsoft is doing for pre order bonuses. If I go on Xbox.com it looks like they are offering a professor Anders pack. On Microsoft.com they make no mention of the professor Anders Blitz pack but mention a Halo 5 bonus. I also notice that there is a Halo Wars 2 - Isabel Pack on the Xbox store and the description says that it is only available for pre-orders, but there is no mention of this pack anywhere else. Is there a difference between ordering on Microsoft.com and the Xbox store? If I order directly on my Xbox, exactly what bonuses will I receive?

Yea I haven’t seen any bonuses for buying it off the store, I’ve already bought it a while ago on the windows 10 store but there’s no sign of any bonuses.

You will receive the Isabel DLC pack. As you said, it is available for pre-orders, and you’ll get it, and the season pass, when Halo Wars will be out, the 17th february.

I didn’t receive anything in halo 5. Maybe I just lucked out or you mean the holiday gold packs

You have to search for the gold pack bonus on the store and download it from there. It does not appear in Halo 5 until you do this. I did this a couple of months ago myself.
I just came across this and apparently MS and the stores agree on which bonuses they get.

Yea i saw it there, but even with my ultimate edition pre-order it’s always been “currently unavailable”. Is there something else i should be looking for aside from the Halo Wars 2 Digital Pre-order Bonus?
If u live in Australia u have eb games, their versions of HW2 is halo wars 2 atriox edition which is missing the season pass. The other one is halo wars 2 ultimate atriox edition which has the season pass. Both ones have 2 special pins one of atriox and spartan jerome. And 2 dlc packs they are for the blitz mode.(sorry if I have spelt the brute’s name wrong)
Edit: I forgot you also get a steelbook but I don’t know much about it

That’s odd. I’m not sure what is going on there then. I just went to the preorder bonus item like you mentioned and I downloaded that. If it’s worth it to you you may want to contact support on that one.

Yeah your right! Australia is their own country with the most Halo fans! I’m going to get me all the stuff from EBGames and JBHIFI!

I’m getting it from Best Buy, it’s pretty much the only place I buy games so it doesn’t really bother me what other people are getting.
Am I the only one that thinks this is not that big deal? For god sake just pins and some random cards you probably can get playing the game. And about the steel box… well you got me with that one, but if you really want it I guess you can get it by paying a new one, sorry about that. Yeah, I mean, for people really want it can sucks I have to say.
I just wanna play the damn game hahaha
I agree but with the 20% Prime discount the exclusives don’t mean much. Unfortuneately I don’t ever see an end to exclusives.

Mine showed up automatically without me doing anything.
Does anyone have a list of pre-order exclusives from each retailer?
For Canada, the only thing I can find so far is Halo Wars 2 themed controller stands from EB Games. Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy do not have any listing for exclusive preorder content
