Need for Speed Rivals is launching on 19 November, and before you take the plunge into the latest entry in the long-running racing series, MyGaming has rounded up the best prices available to pre-order the game.
We looked at Kalahari, Loot, BT Games, GamesX, CNA, Takealot, Animeworx and Incredible Connection to see who came out on top in terms of price.
The prices are for the standard edition of the game, which is being referred to as the Limited Edition when pre-ordering due to the pre-order incentive of the Ultimate Cop Pack, which offers access to a powerful collection of items including the Nissan GT-R Black Edition cop car, advanced pursuit technology, and a custom livery.

Rivals is being developed by Criterion and Ghost Games, and will run on the new Frostbite 3 engine, bringing next-generation graphics, effects and features to the NFS world.
The new game will be set in Redview County, and will focus on the rivalry that exists between the high-stakes street racers and the county police force – as each side has to accumulate followers and supporters in order to win an “all out media war”.
Rivals will also feature deep customisation options, allowing you to enhance your car with performance upgrades, personalise your bodywork with fresh paintjobs, liveries, custom license plates, rims, and decals.
