To preorder or not to preorder, that is the question.

[zerogear]

Did anyone order the Fallout 3 CE edition? (I wanted Amazon exclusive edition, but I can't justify 120$ for a single game).

 

[Schadenfroh]

No, as stated:

I can't justify 120$ for a single game).

The only way I could justify $120 for a game would be if it offered endless hours of entertainment and updates from the developer that continuously added new content / updates to the game so that it would never end.

$120 for a single game! Nope, noways.

 

[SpunkyJones]

I loved the first two fallouts, but I'm taking a wait and see approach with this 3rd one, I'm not sold that they'll get it right, though I hope I'm wrong. I'm usually a sucker for special editions (a fool and his money...) but $120 is a bit more than I would want to spend.

I don't know... By the looks of it, I will not be paying for the regular version. It will either be the special or collectors. I love the alarm clock thing, but chances are, it will be in a corner within 5 minutes of opening the box. Oh, and having $120 to spend on one game is rather disturbing when you know that they'll be having liquidation sales (Halo Xbox and Halo 3 helmet version anyone?) by Christmas.

I don't like pre-ordering anyway, especially when initial releases are usually very buggy, but there is no way I would pre-order when you have to pay $120! The only reason I have done it at all is for a discount, or to be a part of the beta (so I get to play the game early, anyway).

 

[BladeVenom]

The only way I would pay $120 or more for a game is if it had it's own control system like Steel Battalion.

 

[skace]

$120 is not the CE, it's the limited edition with the stupid clock. There is a cheaper CE.

 

[imported_Shaq]

There is supposed to be free DLC for the 360 and PC and there is a CE that is $70. The extra $50 is for the pipboy clock reproduction.

 

[mindcycle]

Yeah, you're looking at the Amazon.com Exclusive Survival Edition. The regular collector's edition is around $70. http://www.gogamer.com/Fallout...Id444710VVviewprod.htm

hell no...

That's the ONLY game I've ever ordered (preordered).

 

[Jumpem]

I preordered the Collectors Edition for the metal lunchbox.

 

[DaveSimmons]

I'm very tempted to get the regular CE for the Vault Boy bobblehead and the lunchbox, but I'm still waiting to see if someone will have a deal -- $70 is 2-4 times what I pay for most of my games.

I'd probably not buy a game for that reason alone. You pay extra for a controller you'll use once, then throw into a corner. Steel Batallion looked like it was awesome though (didn't have an Xbox).

 

[FirewolfX]

I'm waiting until a bunch of reviews are out, and user feedback(weeding out the anti-Fallout 3 idiots)

 

[Baked]

Lunch box and bobble head + some books for $20 more dollars. Hmmm... I'm gonna wait for reviews before I decide. I really like the BioShock demo, if it's anything like that, I might consider.

 

[Frodolives]

I preordered the vanilla version months ago. But that Pipboy clock was mighty tempting

 

[Born2bwire]

Is there going to be a digital distribution release? Steam, please.

A few are out already. One from PC Gamer (don't care for them personally). All are over 80% thus far.

I just realised we're in October and it's almost out...

 

[coreyb]

I never pre order games anymore. That was something I did when I was a kid and was extremely excited for whatever game was coming out. Nowadays I have tons of good games already and it's no big deal waiting around to pick up a copy.

Preordering from ebgames often = free swag. And I'm a swagwhore so that's why I do it.

Unless you can mod the controller to work with a PC.
I still use mine...

Dang...time flies.

I preordered the $120 version. I'm a huge fallout fan, even if it's not the original people or story. Still, pipboy watch block and tin fallout lunchbox? Hells yes, I would have rocked that shit back in middle school.
