Hopefully (like with Just Cause 2) you guys will get all the stuff instead of having to choose a retailer.thenumberthirteen said:
I never used to pre-order but this will probably be the second game I do that with this year. I'm glad they started offering these kinds of premiums. It sure beats the "give us a portion of the price months ahead of time... just for the hell of it." plan that had been going there for years.
I never go to (99% of) gamestops because most of them require you to pre-order a new game if you want it at launch.
Thankfully I'm diggin the Caravan & Merc packs. I'm sure my wife will help me decide which one. After all, it will probably be her birthday present.
I hope for that too, since it's waaaay cheaper than ordering from the U.S.GamesB2 said:
Also, new games costs the equivalent of 120 dollars here in Norway, therefore I always order from Play.com
Pre-order bonus equipment is generally pretty crap so from a practical perspective, not much is lost. The bonus armor for Mass Effect 2, for instance, was nice, but once I tried it on and admired myself for a minute, I stuck it back in my closet and never looked at it again.
But then there's that completionist thing...
As for you Euros, it looks like Bethsoft will make an announcement about non-North American markets soon. Keep an eye on your local retailer to find out what's what.

Thanks muchly for posting about this! I had been wondering if any bonuses would be released for my most eagerly-anticipated video game release... Little did I know retailers were also eager to jump onboard the property and Bethesda decided more exclusivity contracts is better.
Or how about they just release games with all the content there for everyone anyway.LordCuthberton said:
It really annoys me all this. It used to be you could just buy a game, and there was the content, and that was it.
This is just rediculous
Thank you very much for the- Wait... *twitches* Did you just refer to us as "Euros"?Andy Chalk said:
On a more serious note, I am pleased to find out that they have not abandoned us, so thanks for mentioning this as otherwise I may have pre-ordered from somewhere before knowing about it.
Most popular PC titles with in-game pre-order bonuses end up with a small crack or work around to include them. No different to making DLC cracks, really.Therumancer said:

"I have an treasured collection of the stuff?"
Eh? Are the 't' and 'r' in treasured now silent, and no one told me? Because that's the only way using 'an' could make sense...
On topic: I'm still not sure whether Fallout would be my cup of tea. No preorder, for now...

While preording is free it's not always the best financial decision. If you preoder from Best Buy, you have to buy it from them at full price. Now if Target offers a ten dollar gift card when you buy it, you have effectively lost ten dollars in exchange for the preorder pack. I know it's a gift card, but with it you can buy some batteries for your controllers, canned air to dust your keyboard, or just some deodorant for your smells.danpascooch said:
SCREW YOU GUYS!RhomCo said:
I mean, the actual wording is that the pre-order packs will be available through retailers "worldwide" soon. Sorry, didn't mean to make it sound so Eurocentric.
