I've finally managed to secure one. But unfortunately it's the XBox One version and not the PC version. The plan is to sell the game itself when it arrives and buy the PC version of the game itself separately, probably on Steam.

Yup, I noticed that. I'm trying to order one right now, with a view to cancelling the other order, but I suspect I'm going to hit the "one order per customer" rule.

Edit: It allowed the order of the PC version to go through (ie. didn't enforce "one per customer") so I then cancelled the XBox One order. Yay.

If the ticketmaster Web site ran like the Game web site I'd probably be out of a job!
Took over an hour but managed to get a preorder confirmed eventually!
Can't wait to get my hands on this smile

Did the initial batch of the Pip-Boy edition sell out or something? I pre-ordered online with Game back on the 18th June and didn't have any issues.

Not being smug. Just wondering.

Yeah, it sold out within a couple of days, I missed getting one before as I was trying to sort out my game reward points, by the time that was sorted they'd gone.

Sold out on the 19th initially. Today is the first day they have been back in stock.

Batch 1 sold out very quickly. Batch 2 went on sale today and instantly crashed the Game website. It was up and down like a tart's knickers all morning as people frantically tried to pre-order before they all went, as apparently there will not be any further batches.

There's plenty on EBay already for about £250 :-/

Just a bit of a wait to actually play the game now!!

Crazy to think how much more money Bethesta could have brought in by not making the pipboy edition so limited. I honestly think they could have doubled the price of it and sold out without sweat too. Shame that many will just go straight on eBay too.

They'll find their price. It'll be interesting to see where they end up price-wise. I reckon around £200 which is, as you say, double what Bethesda charged.

I think the people buying them at a premium right now are foolish. It's a long time between now and November, and Bethesda could relent and make a 3rd batch. Better to wait until they are physical items rather than pre-orders and see where the market is then.

Is that legal? I haven't bought the special edition but surely they are just pre-orders, they haven't got the physical items in their hands yet and I don't do Ebay but I'm sure I see they have limited timed selling. So they are selling something they don't have, which must be against Ebay sale terms?

OK the Pip Boy would be nice to have as a momento but its the game that's important. I am sure if the manufacturers feel there is money to be made they will make the Pip Boy available to buy at some time in the future.

I've just reinstalled FO3.

Glad I also did a 3x DVD backup of it as well with all the mods & ENB files I had installed, just copied them onto the reinstall and away I go again from where I left it.
Summer's evening in Fallout 3.

Nicely done.

To get it looking like that would be:

Fellout - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/2672/?
NMCs Texture Pack - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/12056/?
NMCs Terrain Pack - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/774/?
ENB Rudy (for NV but works perfectly for FO3) - http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55076/?
Need to turn both AA and AF on Fallout Loader off as the ENB controls both with it's SweetFX plugin.

With the ENB I also use.
Fallout Street Lights - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/8069/?
Fallout Street Lightss wasteland - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/10045/?
any of the night vision goggles on Fallout3 Nexus for any really dark caverns or night time work as it can be very dark. You wil need to Shift+F12 to turn the ENB off when wearing the googles for them to work then Shift+F12 again to turn the ENB back on when you have finished with the goggles.

I have others installed but those are the environmental mods.

Just got our new Xbox One yesterday, really loving it so far.

Fallout 4 is one of the reasons we finally went for Xbox One, so can't wait for the release!

Would also love to know if Fallout 4 can be modded when it comes out on the Xbox One platform!

From comments I have read, it does would like it is going to be modable! Let's see, will be interesting!
