One retailer’s pre-order bonus for Starfield is an… ice cream sandwich?

It’s common for retailers to offer bonuses for pre-ordering a game, but for whatever reason, Best Buy gives everyone an ice cream sandwich with every Starfield pre-order.

Now, to be clear, this is not just any ice cream sandwich. As shared by deal wizard Wario64, it’s very specifically a HALO astronaut sundae (not Halo like the game, to be clear), described as “the original chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry sundae sandwiched between two chocolate wafers that you can eat on earth or in space!” Obviously Best Buy is doing this because Starfield is a space exploration game, no question, but a food item is a bit weird. The image (you can see it below) doesn’t make it look so appetizing either.

Unfortunately, if you’re based in the UK, you’ll have to buy your own space-themed ice cream sandwich; It also appears to be a scam, as Best Buy claims it’s worth $10, but as Wario64 pointed out, you can buy it for $5 elsewhere. An incorrectly priced ice cream sandwich is better than one, I guess.

We’re less than two months away from Starfield’s release now, and the game is finally coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC on September 6. Although if you have the Premium Edition pre-ordered, you can play it five days early, meaning September 1st: a pretty early start for such a massive looking RPG.

Back at Not-E3, Bethesda revealed its $300 Constellation Edition, $200 more than the Premium Edition. The Constellation Edition comes with a fancy looking kit, specifically a fancy Chronomark watch, complete with a special box. You’ll also get early access to the Shattered Space DLC when it launches, a Constellation skin pack, an artbook, and a soundtrack.
