The open-world action game is currently on sale at several different retailers and these retailers are selling four versions of the game. They include the standard edition, the Special Edition, the Digital Deluxe Edition, and the $200 Collector’s Edition that comes with a life-size baby.

You can buy the game right now via retailers like Best Buy, GameStop, NewEgg, and the PlayStation Store.

If you buy a copy of Death Stranding before its release date you get some nice bonuses with your pre-order.  Death Stranding pre-orders come with a Chibi Ludens PSN Avatar, the Death Stranding Dynamic Theme, and some in-game items that will unlock as you progress through the game.  These bonus items include the Gold “Sam” Sunglasses, a Gold Hat, a Gold Speed Skeleton, and a Gold Armor Plate. These are cosmetic items, but they're appealing to those of you who like to customize your characters or PSN account.  If you want access to these, you can pre-order any version of Death Stranding.
