If Tiff's recent preview didn't get you out to your local game shop to reserve Fallout 3, maybe this will. GameStop is listing a pretty packed "Collector's Edition" of the game, which is said to come with:
- Vault Boy Bobblehead: Enjoy your very own Vault Boy with this collector’s item direct from Vault-Tec.
- The Art of Fallout 3: This hardcover book features nearly 100 pages of never-before seen concept art and commentary from Bethesda Game Studios artists.
- The Making of Fallout 3: Get an exclusive, inside look at Bethesda Game Studios and the team behind the game with this special DVD.
- Vault-Tec Lunch Box: The entire package comes in a fully customized metal lunchbox.
All of this comes at $69.99 price point for PC, and $79.99 on both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Bethesda, it seems, knows how to do a collector's edition right -- when Oblivion launched for the PC and Xbox 360, the collector's edition came with some pretty slick extras, including a replica coin, a world map, a sizable "pocket guide," and more.
When I went to Bethesda last year to get our first glimpse of Fallout 3, they gave us the Vault-Tec Lunch Box and Vault Boy Bobblehead, and believe me, it's definitely worth the extra $10. If history repeats itself, these collector's editions will be hard to come by once they're released; even if you're adamant when it comes to not reserving games (you're too cool, you're too cheap, you hate GameStop), you might want to give it some serious thought.

so.. what will the spec requirements be on pc?
I hope I'm in the near required area :P
I hate when I can't play games with full(60)fps
on high visuals....
crysis I hate you :P
with over 500 endings.. I don't think any1 would care for the extra endings...
Ey... is it just me or we haven't heard anything about JT for a long while now... I'm getting worried xD.
I'm definitely going to place a preorder for this awesomeness.
I had to get the collectors addition of Bioshock for Mr. Bubbles. Hopefully Vault Boy's thumb won't break off.
Goddamn I can't wait!
Seriously though, that's pretty cool. Really.
@Scape
PC, duh! :P
Me when I realized it didn't come with the Nuka Cola: =(
But yeah, I still reserved it.
We wont hold it against you if you go back on your word.
So go on, treat yourself. ;)
I know i will!
Still, even if we're getting more in these special editions, I miss the times when they were only $10 more.
Although for me personally that lunchbox needs to have some rocks smashed into it to give it a fallout feel. I mean a nice new shiny box in the fallout world? it doesn't fit.
I guess it would affect its resale value should i ever want to sell it but im not sure i could holy my head up high as i walk into work with a gleaming fallout lunchbox.
Mine will have dried mud plastered on it, bullet scorch marks, sellotape to keep it closed because ive smashed the hell into it.
Thats true fallout.
Not that i know if i can get the collectors edition :/
is it coming out in the UK for the PC?
Guess that'll be one preorder from the US then, if you please.
That's usually a bit pricey, but the bobblehead and lunchbox are pretty cool
No where does it say you get the cola though.....
