If you pre-order Halo 5 from the Xbox Store you can also download Halo: Spartan Assault free for a limited time. Not a bad deal when you add it all up. Halo: Spartan Assault is worth £7.99, the Pre-Order bonus is probably worth a couple quid. So essentially you're kinda getting Halo 5 for £34.99.
**I think the 14 day trial is only for new Xbox live accounts**
Plus it'll be ready to play from 00:01 on 27/10/2015
Here's the full info :
Pre-Order to receive a bonus loadout weapon and skin usable in the Warzone multiplayer mode along with a copy of Halo: Spartan Assault. To redeem your copy of Halo: Spartan Assault search for "Halo: Spartan Assault" in the Xbox Store and download the game.* *Add-on content and online multiplayer require Xbox Live Gold (sold separately). Pre-order bonus offer is available for a limited time only. 14-day trial offer will be delivered in-game and cannot be transferred, redeemed for cash, or combined with any other offer. Offer is not valid on prior Xbox Live Gold membership purchases.
XBOX ONE GAME EXPECTED TO RELEASE ON 27/10/2015. YOU MAY DOWNLOAD THE GAME FROM XBOX LIVE BEFORE THEN, BUT IT WILL NOT BE PLAYABLE UNTIL 12:01 AM GMT ON THE RELEASE DATE.

Decent deal from the Xbox UK store on release? Shocker :laughing: Nice find. Spartan Assault is fun with a coop buddy, or just something to hop on for a quick play before work.

Or £32 for the base game pre order edition at Singapore store. :wink:

How does that work? Can we play it on our consoles?

Anywhere selling Singapore credit at the moment? Usually all sold out when I check :stuck_out_tongue:

Well technically Spartan Assault isn't really worth £7.99 because its been out for a while, I'd value it more as £2-3 but still a great game. The 2 week trial comes with most new XB One games anyway so not adding any value really. As for the pre-order bonus DLC..well time will tell whether the REQ packs were a good addition to the franchise on 343s part but I have faith :smiley: Still not too bad of a deal considering I guess!

Just buy a £40 & £5 top up at CD keys with 5% discount code works out to 39.69. Was going to get it physical but I'll likely never sell it anyway so might as well always have it on the console

Never saw the gift cards sold out. You can just buy them in the Microsoft Store.

Thanks a lot OP. Already pre-ordered the game, but wasn't aware of the Spartan Assault bonus.

I've always heard of issues with people trying to buy from other MS stores so never really thought about that :stuck_out_tongue:

£35 from the HK store and you get access to it earlier than most other regions - servers go live on Monday at 5pm UK time.

I've been buying from Hungary to get cheaper games, how did you get Hong Kong to work I've never had any luck with it. Cheers

Did it the other week when I bought Halo 5 and didn't have any issues whatsoever.

I posted the same deal months ago it got cold votes
Maybe people react differently as it's closer to release and the marketing hype already set in.

I wish more games were this price for digital rather than the 55 that most other games try to rob you for. this is slightly less painful

Remember it's not uk midnight it's 4am if I remember correctly. It's why I didn't go for it in the end.

No it's midnight. They've made it uniform now. Unlocks midnight in whatever region you're in.

got the same deal off US store for about £32. worth it for a few extra mins effort.

Very odd, it did even say 00:01 from the 27th on the product page? Server issues maybe? Does explain why I wasn't seeing many people last night. They opened up the online at around midday yesterday and the numbers in games didn't really change between then and 2am. That said, I did have someone on my friends list who briefly went on at midnight so maybe it's working for some and not others?
Edit; I have a disc copy hence why I was playing it early :stuck_out_tongue:
