Agreed, and my pipboy.
Though I do prefer to have digital copies of games as opposed to physical. Best case, I'd want both.

IF I buy FO3, it will likely be on Steam. My main concern would be with mods. Getting mods to work with Steam versions is . . . problematic.

Yeah, I was worried about that...that's why I didn't go for Direct2Drive.

GAHHHHH! If only I had waited 2 days. I ordered Fallout 3 on eBay on Wednesday. I suppose that's not horrible, since I get a boxed copy, and after eBay cashback it was $41, and it's a boxed copy.

STILL, I prefer digital distribution now. Especially Steam. And, I'm going to have to wait a few days for my boxed copy to get here, whereas you could pre-load fallout 3 now (right?).

Just saw this. I'm not big on preordering, but I do plan on buying it on Steam. If it gets bad reviews, I'll just wait for it to drop in price a little.

I like having a digital copy. I usually end up pirating the games that I've already purchased because I like having that backup (in case I lose the disc, disc is destroyed, etc.). I just keep a big text file full of my CD keys in a few locations.

With Steam I don't need to bother doing any of that, which is great. I don't think I'd get any use out of the lunchbox or pipboy... as much as I love to get my nerd on, I'm just not feeling it.

so if i pre-purchased with steam, would that make the game activated at midnight on the 28th? i would love to know TIA

If you log onto Steam it has the countdown to 'unlock' if you click on the game. Right now it's appx. 2 days, 18 hours. Which makes it noon on Tuesday if my clock math is correct.

I wanted that Survival edition SOOOO much for that pipboy, but I just can't justify the disposable cash expense

I'll be at GS on Monday night though, for the midnight release

Holy shit. Had no idea the collectors was coming with a lunch box.

Would be cool.

That processor requirement isnt for real right? a s939 will definitely meet the defaults right?

The Fallout 3 website says the minimum is a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4, so I don't see why a socket 939 A64 wouldn't work.
