If they ever did do that, I would do whatever necessary to raise that money up.Shoggoth2588 said:
I may pre-order this, just have to wait and see if this will have the always online DRM first.
Wow, that's actually not a bad price point. I'm big into poker, so the chips and cards will be awesome to have around. I would have expected all this to be a hundo, but 80 seems fair, so guess I better put some more hours in at work.
For 20 bucks more you get the making-of, poker chips, cards, and not just an ordinary book, but a graphic novel. How does that not sound like it is worth 20 bucks? They could probably sell the book alone for 20, especially since it is a hardcover. Just asking.ItsAPaul said:
Because The Escapist is the second place I care about after the LoadingReadyRun forums, I thought I'd link this here...

Bethesda Softworks expects the upcoming Fallout 3 [http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/home/teaser.php] and to help ensure it does, it's taken the wraps off the game's super-cool Collector's Edition.
The Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition comes loaded with extras inspired by the post-nuclear version of Sin City that players will encounter in the game. The CE will include "Lucky 7" poker chips modeled after those found in the major casinos along the New Vegas strip, a deck of cards illustrated with New Vegas characters and factions, a "Lucky 38" platinum game chip, a hardcover graphic novel written by Creative Director Chris Avellone called All Roads and of course, the ubiquitous "Making of" DVD. The whole thing comes packed inside a sexy, faux-weather-beaten case.
"We're offering this very cool collector's edition to give fans the opportunity to own some of the items that they'll discover while playing Fallout: New Vegas," said Bethesda marketing man Pete Hines. "We are also expanding their experience with the game by including a top-notch graphic novel worthy of the Fallout [http://fallout.bethsoft.com] name and a DVD that gives them a behind-the-scenes look at how the game was created."
Collector's Editions aren't quite the rarity they once were but even so, the New Vegas CE looks like a standout. It'll need to be: Hines also predicted that the new game will outsell the multi-million-selling hit Fallout 3. "Based on what we're seeing so far from the response at retail and from gamers, we expect New Vegas to do even better than Fallout 3," he told MCV [http://www.mcvuk.com/news/38860/New-Vegas-to-top-Fallout-3-sales]. "We'll have to wait and see just how much better."
Fallout: New Vegas is expected to be released near the end of 2010 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
UPDATE: For those who can't be bothered to dig this stuff themselves, GameStop is listing the Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition for $79.99 ($69.99 for the PC) while the regular version is $59.99 ($49.99 for the PC). Dare to compare! [http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx?N=0&Ntk=TitleKeyword&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntt=new%20vegas]

Oh my god.....
DO WANT
Also, I predicted that they're be poker chips in the special edition, yay me
I don't know ... In my experience, even when following a theme, a game that gives you a deck of cards, could be a concern. Otherwise the only thing I'd be intersted in, in the long term from that package would be the making of the game movie. Which will probably be released in one form or another for free on the internet (Youtube). I really couldn't justify picking up this collectors edition listed as it is. Its normal pack for me I guess.Andy Chalk said:Bethesda Unveils Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition - UPDATED

Hmmm... can't say that I'm compelled to buy this over the regular edition as much as I was for Fallout 3. Nothing there is quite as cool as the lunchbox and bobblehead - the graphic novel is what looks most interesting.
It is only $20 more... I'll have to think on it...
