Best place to pre order halo reach legendary edition?

I've got mine instore with Gamestop, because when I weighed all of the options, I think GS has everyone beat. I look at it this way:

*Note: All of these locations receive the recon armor

*Note: I am using the cheapest shipping option, but there are others available

*Note: I am including things like preorder bonuses and midnight releases because those may add potential value to purchase

*Note: I have taken the amount of any credits or coupons out of the base price to show the value of said coupons and/or credits

Amazon:
-Free shipping, but takes awhile to get there
-$20 VG credit
Total: $130

Walmart:
-97 cent shipping, but takes awhile to get there
-$20 eGift card
-Instore pickup
Total: $130.97+tax or $130 +tax

BestBuy:
-$2.99 shipping, but takes awhile to get there
-500 Bonus Points ($10 I believe)
-Instore pickup
-Possible Midnight release with swag, giveaways, etc.
Total: $142.99+tax or $140+tax

GS.com:
-$4.99 shipping with coupon code SAVER. but takes awhile to get there
-$20 coupon on next game purchase
-Exclusive Mark IV armor
Total: $134.99+tax

Gamestop B&M:
-Instore pickup
-Exclusive Mark IV armor
-Midnight release with swag, giveaways, etc.
Total: $149.99+tax

When I look at this, I value the GS B&M much more than anything else. The initial price isn't as attractive as some of the others, but I value exclusive preorder bonuses, swag, giveaways, and release day pickup more than the other offers out there. I'm not saying that this is the best choice for everyone, just that it's what I value most. If you don;t care when the game gets to your hands, I'd go with amazon, but for anyone who wants to play on day one. GameStop B&M is the way to go!!!
