Collectors edition videogames don't really tick my boxes (though I have bought them) but the Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition lit my heart up like a plasma rifle, and why not? Sometimes allowing your inner child to run riot is good for the soul. And even though I arrived at the Fallout universe later than most (2013 to be precise), the fanboy in this one is strong, which is why I caved in and preordered the thing.
Pip Boy edition includes: a physical Pip-Boy Pocket Guide, complete with illustrations/tips, a cool looking Vault-Tec Perk poster and the game comes packed into a metal Power Armour. As if that wasn't enough Vault Tec wannabes get a wearable Pip-Boy on a RobCo Industries stand, with working lights and buttons. Who said Santa is dead?
Of course I strongly suspect the Pip Boy will be banished to a shelf/drawer once the novelty wears off, but hype does terrible things to a man (gamers especially). But this is fine, I would fear a world that kills simple pleasures and £100 to revive the excited child who lives within us all is a small price to pay.
So without further ado, here's my caps and i'll see you all in Boston.
A dedicated App will also be available to use in conjunction with the Pip-Boy mobile app, manage your in-game inventory and perks.
