There’s a lot of ways to buy Fallout 4, and while war may never change, the feeling of irreparable regret from picking the wrong pre-order bonus can. So here’s a roundup of Fallout 4’s special editions, bundles and pre-order bonuses to help you out.
Pip-Boy Edition
These sold out almost instantly. Coming across one a Pip-Boy Edition at a retailer would be like happening upon a pack of unicorns playing poker with Santa Claus, and also Benjamin Franklin is there.
On the other hand, Bethesda did put the Pip-Boy Edition back up for sale for just a few hoursyesterday, so keep an eye out. This collectible set comes with a Pip-Boy replica, a Pip-Boy pocket guide, the Vault-Tec Perk Poster, and Power Armor Collectible Packaging. Oh, also the game. Fallout 4 is there too.
Fallout 4 Mighty Bundle
This offer comes exclusively from Mighty Ape, a New Zealand online retailer that would be happy to ship internationally should your love of Fallout prove strong enough to cross oceans.
For $119.99 (plus everyone’s favorite: international shipping costs) you’ll get the game, a Fallout Vault Boy Pop! Vinyl figure, a Vault-Tec Perk Poster, and a 96-page hard cover History of Fallout book.
Fallout 4 Gold Bundle
Available from Best Buy, the Fallout 4 Gold Bundle comes with Fallout 4 on either PS4 or Xbox One, the Fallout 4 Season Pass, and Vault Boy socks. You heard me, socks. Because while not everyone may want a T-shirt or poster, we all have feet.
Mister Handy Dota 2 Announcer Pack
Pre-order Fallout 4 on Steam to receive the exclusive Mister Handy Dota 2 announcer pack. This is a limited time offer, and the pack is expected to become available mid-November.
Access to the Enter the Vault Sweepstakes
Pre-order Fallout 4 at a participating US retailer, enter a special code or a photo of your receipt on the official Fallout Facebook page, and gain entry to the Enter the Vault Sweepstakes.
There’s tons of prize tiers, with the grand prizes including a trip to Boston, Pip-Boys, a custom Xbox One Fallout 4 console, the Fallout Anthology, the Fallout 4 Season Pass, ‘Welcome Home’ T-Shirts, and Fallout 4 Patches.
Great War 2015 T-Shirt
Pre-order Fallout 4 from the Bethesda store before Monday, October 26 and get a free Great War 2015 T-Shirt. Just apply the discount in your shopping cart and this dyed assemblage of cloth could be yours.
Vault-Tec Perk Poster
Pre-order a physical copy of Fallout 4 (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC) and get a physical Vault-Tec Perk Poster featuring all 70 perks. This bonus will be available from multiple retailers while supplies last.
Not too long ago, we took a crack at deciphering the perk tree using nothing but clues from the poster. It was far from enlightening.
Fallout 3
You’ll get a free download of Fallout 3 if you pre-order Fallout 4 for Xbox One. This is a limited time offer, with no real info on how long the offer will last. If you pre-order Fallout 4 from the Xbox Store, you’ll get a Fallout 3 code sent within 7-10 days. If you pre-order from a retailer, you’ll get your Fallout 3 code when you pick up your physical copy.
Custom Fallout 4 Xbox One Faceplate
Pre-order the Xbox One 1TB Fallout 4 Bundle from GameStop and get an exclusive custom Fallout 4 Xbox One console faceplate.
Xbox One 1TB Fallout 4 Bundle
If you have a severe aversion to receiving free GameSpot faceplates, you can always pick up a regular Xbox One 1TB Fallout 4 Bundle at a variety of retailers for $399.
Black Friday Dell Bundle
This Thanksgiving, Dell is offering a 500GB Xbox One bundle that comes with a physical copy of Fallout 4, an extra controller, a Gears of War: Ultimate Edition download, and a 3.5mm headset, all for $299.99. It’s kind of insane.
The set boasts a market value of $469.99, and will be available in “limited quantities” starting November 26 at 6PM EST.
Aside from preorder bonuses and bundle goodies, there’s plenty of Fallout swag hitting shelves this month. Fallout beer is making it’s way to Amazon, Nuka Cola Quantum will be appearing at Target, and if you’re not into beverages, check out the Fallout C.H.A.T. app for iOS and Android.
For those whose wallets have had enough, you can always just hype up with the Fallout 4trophy/achievement list, or take a look at some Wasteland-inspired PS4 and Xbox One controllers.
