Newegg

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Standard Edition

Retailers Amazon

Amazon Standard Edition, $59.99. The Prime member 20% discount isn't live yet, but if you order it and you're a Prime member, Amazon will apply the discount when it goes live.

In the UK?

Best Buy

Best Buy really wants you to preorder through its online store. If you're a Gamers Club Unlocked member, you get the standard 20% discount, but Best Buy is also throwing in a $10 reward eligibility you can apply to other purchases.

Walmart

Walmart doesn't have a member discount program like Amazon or Best Buy, but it does have free 2-day shipping and free in-store pickup. Speaking broadly here, there's probably a good chance you're closer to a Walmart than you are to a Best Buy.

GameStop

GameStop isn't offering a discount, but if you're a member of GameStop's customer loyalty program, you can score some points by preordering now. Like Walmart, GameStop also has in-store pickup, so you can guarantee a copy. It also has free shipping, which is nice.

Microsoft

You can preorder Black Ops IIII directly from Microsoft and have it delivered for free. You also get 1,100 Call of Duty points you can use in-game for in-game stuff. It doesn't delve into the details of what those points are good for, but they're points... and they're there.

In the UK?

PlayStation Store

The PlayStation store has the option to order either the physical disc or a digital copy. Unfortunately, only the download link is live right now. The page is pretty sparse at the moment, but just like all the other retailers, details will start trickling in.

Newegg

Newegg already has Black Ops 4 discounted. Add it to your cart to see the adjusted price of $49.99. That's not quite as generous as Best Buy or Amazon, but you also don't need any kind of membership, plus it has free 3-day shipping.

Battle.net

You can't get Black Ops 4 on Steam. Activision is really leaning into Battle.net as its one-stop shop for all its biggest online games. This preorder lists the Call of Duty points mentioned in the Microsoft store.

Target

If you want to get it on release day without having to visit your local Target, you have to spring for express shipping. This is probably not your best option for preordering, but we're including it here for the Target hardcore. They exist, right?
