Pick Your Pack With a Fallout: New Vegas Pre-Order

[Danpascooch]

Those hardly sound like pre-order bonuses. How much of that will I be able to pick up in the vanilla version of the game?

Probably all of it, I think it's just a boost at the front.

What about those not in the USA? What do we get? I'm ordering mine from GAME, not flying over the sea.

Personally, I'm loathe to buy from GAME these days.

Being on PC I'd go for Amazon - Steam normally doesn't discount new games enough for my liking (they're great for older games and indie titles) but the Caravan pack looks sweet, binoculars sound cool, so that might swing it in favour of Steam this time.

Wait...are these real -wearable- armor costumes or in game armor? If the former I'd spring for the Vault 13 suit in a flash! Course, doubt that's the case xD

From Best Buy: The Mercenary Pack, with lightweight metal armor, a fast-loading mercenary grenade rifle, three "super stimpacks" and three doctors' bags.

Oh yeah, all of it is real, you buy the Mercenary pack and you get wearable metal armor, and a GRENADE LAUNCHER in real life!

Great value when you consider the fact that it's FREE to preorder games.

not in the USA? That's easy, you get nuked.

 

[luckshot]

steam for me, as its easier and i dont like gamestop

 

[Whispering Death]

I buy all my games on Steam. Convenience of purchase and never having to remember a CD key again far outweighs any little tchotchke a pre-order from another retailer gives me.

 

[Irridium]

Or get the PC version and console command/mod them all back in...

And that was exactly what I was going to say.

So yeah, don't care about this stuff. Mods will give me better items.

W/e. I'll just download a mod or use the console commands and add it back into the game.
"god"...
No? Nothing?
Hm...
"IDDQD"
Huh... Apparently John Carmack is God...

I hope you are right, although I can't imagine stuff like a grenade rifle and Vault 13 paraphernalia being commonly found.

Actually, the Grenade launcher is probably pretty common in mid game, it looks like the Vault 13 canteen is the only exclusive (if there is one)

No need to crush my childish hopes and dreams so utterly. Meanie

What makes you think I was being sarcastic?

 

[ultimateownage]

Oh sure, leave us brits out, dicks.

 

[Victor Vazquez]

When i saw it i thought they were giving out Fallout action figures I almost flipped my wig but after looking at it again my expectations went down oh well theres always the collectors edition .... preorder... preorder never changes ...

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

already pre-orderd the Steam version
(just because i dont buy things from those other retailers )

 

[Low Key]

I'm thinking I might do either the caravan or the mercenary pack.

It doesn't really matter in the end to the PC users though. Mods will take care of that dilemma.

 

[Rad Party God]

After I pre-order Civ5, I'll preorder FONV for Steam.

That's what I want to know. I want the armoured Vault 13 Jumpsuit dagmnait!

I can understand why America gets priority with things such as these seeing as most major (Non Japanese) companies are based there, but surely they realise that there are millions of fans in other countries willing to spend money for these extras too?

It makes no sense from a business perspective, especially as most non-electronic items are probably made in China anyway (so it shipping isn't the issue).

I could care less about that stuff.

It's "I couldn't care less, not "I could", how have people not figured this one out by now?! You can see it makes no sense just by reading it.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

I could care less about that stuff because after an hour or two you'll probably have better weapons/armor anyway... I'm still debating on whether to go with the collectors edition or not...
