If you are the type that prefers the collector's editions in lieu of normal game packaging, then you are going to love what the guys (and gals) behind Fallout 3 have in store for you. In order to satisfy those of you who want the most out of the game as possible, Bethesda Softworks has teamed up with Amazon.com to bring you the exclusive Fallout 3 Survival Edition. If you are willing to part with just under $130 for the Xbox 360/PS3 version, or $119.99 for the PC version, you will get everything that comes with the collector's edition of the game, along with a life-size replica of the Pip-Boy 3000 -- the wrist-mounted device favored by characters in the game. In other words, you can expect all of this as well: - Customized metal Vault-Tec lunch box
- 'The Art of Fallout 3' hardcover book
- 'The Making of Fallout 3' DVD
If you are interested in finding out more about the game and how this version came to be, look no further than the developer's diary right here. As for the pre-orders, Amazon has dedicated an all-in-one page for you to gawk at on their site. Plan on taking the plunge, or will the regular version suit your needs just fine?

That clock better spit out radiation or something for an extra $60 D:. But man its so awesome.
Long press release is lonnnnnnnnnngg
Wow, Ive never been much for collector's editions, but it figures that the day after I decide to pre-order the collector's edition they come out with another edition. The Pipboy clock is pretty smooth.
As awesome at it is...I'll stick with the $70 version.
I'm really looking forward to this game :)
Too expensive. Sorry. And I kinda dig it too.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
DO WANT!!!
who am I kidding...I'm going to probably end up with it :(
Can I wear the pipboy???
*Drools uncontrollably*
too bad amazon.ca doesn't have it and amazon.com won't ship to canada =/
Ahhh.... to hell with it. I just pre-ordered it... I'm going to be broke.
To the game store!
*pants explode*
get back to me when the pip-boy is wearable.
WHY DO I LIVE IN EUROPE?!?!?!!?
You guys got your Master Chief helmets. I'll have my Pipboy. It only seems fair.
Demios, common, you know what exclusive really means right?
Do you have a FNAC in your country? Search that when the game is released. I can still find limited editions of Bioshock with the big daddy.
So does this mean all the fans who can't pre-order from Amazon don't get a shot at this? (Short of massive overly inflated prices else)..thanks Bethesda!
If you can make the Pip Boy wearable easily... then I'll get it. Otherwise, only $70 down on this for me.
And it comes with the game too?! SWEET!
Just preordered it. Im a Fallout fanboy
@Tazar- Agreed
Plus, I already put cash down on the collector's edition, and really don't need another alarm clock, cool looking though it is...
$50 more for a goofy looking clock? No thanks.
Besides, you know Amazon will be selling this for like $60 a couple months after release just like the Halo 3 Legendary edition.
HOLY SHIT! That is the first $130 game I have ever thought about buying. I WANT A PIP BOY FUCK DAMNIT!
MY MAIN QUESTION IS THAT IF THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN CANADA.
CANADA YES OR NO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD YES OR NO, I'M FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Wow. Seriously wow. Take note every other developer in the world, this is what we expect from a collectors edition.
I guess I'll start saving now.
Must have that lunchbox!!
That's insane.
Looks nice, but if the Halo 3 Legendary edition taught me anything, then that thing will be selling for $80 within 4 months.
I've had this pre-ordered for ages now. Can't wait.
That's a Collector's Edition and a half.
I am excited about Fallout 3. When Fallout and Fallout 2 came out many years ago, that is all I played. I hope Bethesda stays so true with everything and I hope my experience goes beyond Fallout 1/2.
GameQuest
DO WANT! Wow, I hope I have money by then.
I want a Pip-boy, but I'm not paying $50 extra for it. It does please me that the PC version is cheaper, though.
@onomelon
It's an Amazon exclusive. And if my economic class taught me anything, then Amazon only orders enough merchandise to meet it's needs/demand4.
...unless they are retarded like B&M stores.
That is awesome, but I'm sticking with the cheaper collector's edition.
I've never played Fallout, ever. Always wanted to. This will be my first experience and I really want that collector's. Omg.
Arrrg, I HATE all these super expensive collectors versions! They think just because they put their game in a big tin box they can ensure my purchase!
You know what? they are completely correct! I'm a total whore for tin boxes. Seriously I'm gonna have to go rob a convenience store to get that 130$
im not a fallout fan but fallout 3 is looking awesome. Maybe i'll put some of the money ima earn this summer to use!
I don't have 120 dollars on me.... Will they take 10,000 bottlecaps instead?
130? Easy enough to spend. If I ca spend cash to pre-order two Steel Battalion controller sets w/ game then this is chump change.
I can spend $120 on this for my PC as those things kick ass!
Bethesda hates Canada, I guess. Amazon will only ship that to the US.
@bVork
Really?
I e-mailed Amazon with that exact question and asked if Canadians got free shipping as well....I hope you a wrong for the sake of me wanting that damn clock.
@mix
It says so right on the page... "Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S. and to APO/FPO addresses. For APO/FPO shipments, please check with the manufacturer regarding warranty and support issues"
On my death-bed I will probably look at all these retarded collectors' editions and cry a tear for my wasted life...but I'm going to get this...I feel dirty...like a closeted gay Christian who just jerked off to pictures of Satan's dick.
Quick! Somebody buy my bodily fluids!
ARRRRRRRRRGH I WANT IT! BUT TI'S TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!! 130 BUCKS FR ONE GAME? BLARRRRGGGGH
still it doesn't come out till the fall (no pun intended) so maybe I'll be able to get this
@bVork
Your right, I just got my e-mail from Amazon. FUCK Amazon in the ass.
Wonder if they will drop it off at the border and I drive the 3 hrs or so to go get it. I want that clock!
