Get $5 Credit When You Buy Star Wars 7 From Microsoft and Play Battlefront

Microsoft is celebrating the digital release of Star Wars: Episode VII -- The Force Awakens today with a special promotion where you can get $5 in credit. To get it, you need to buy The Force Awakens from the Microsoft Store and play DICE's Star Wars Battlefront on Xbox One before May 4--known as Star Wars day.

You will receive the credit in the form of a code sent to you through Xbox Live within three weeks of when you buy The Force Awakens. The code must then be redeemed by May 31 and used before June 30.

The Force Awakens launched today, April 1, through digital video-on-demand platforms for around $20, while the Blu-ray/DVD version is coming on April 5.

Included with the home video release of The Force Awakens is a series of deleted scenes, which we recently got a closer look at.

The Force Awakens is also available digitally through Disney Movies Anywhere, Google Play, iTunes, and Amazon. The only option right now is to buy the movie outright; rentals are not yet available.
