I am going to bite the bullet and buy the Ultimate Edition of Battlefront for the PC.
The base game (not Ultimate) is $44.99 USD on Greenmangaming
Ultimate is $159.98 AUD on Origin.
Anybody seen a better deal for Ultimate?

There is no 'ultimate' upgrade, but you can get the season pass by itself which is $59.95. So if you want to save a little bit of dosh, you can buy the base game from whatevers the cheapest place and then preorder the Season Pass which may work out to $120.
However, you will not get the 'Deluxe' items such as the extra emotes and the instant access to the power-ups. But you can grind for these powerups anyway — it doesn't take long.
Wow, that's an investment!
I use IsThereAnyDeal and Cheapshark to compare prices.

Both show that it's only listed at Origin so far, but if you check those two sites upon release, you might see more.
Green Man Gaming often have slight discounts on games at or just before launch (e.g. Black Ops III and AC: Syndicate are both about 30& off.
Edit: Actually they do have Battlefront (normal edition) at 25% off right now. Perhaps Origin's the only place for ultimate edition. You could buy the base game elsewhere and upgrade to ultimate at Origin?
