Fallout: NV Collector's Edition revealed

By Robert Purchese Published 12 May, 2010

Has cards, poker chips, graphic novel.

The Collector's Edition of Fallout: New Vegas will include poker chips, playing cards and a graphic novel. That's on top of the usual "Making Of" DVD.

This alluring bundle comes in a battered box with suitably tattered contents. And the Fallout: New Vegas game, obviously.

There's no European price because European retail partners haven't been announced yet. In the US, the Collector's Edition goes for $80. That's $20 more than the standard game.

A closer look at the contents shows that the "Lucky 7" poker chips each represent one of the major casinos in Fallout: New Vegas. And the pack of cards has been fully customised with characters and factions from the new role-playing game.

The graphic novel, All Roads, is written by Obsidian's Chris Avellone and colours the story leading up to Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas will be released this autumn on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Check out Eurogamer's still-warm preview to find out more.

    "This alluring bundle comes in a battered box with suitably tattered contents."

    Do you mean to say it's a Game exclusive?

    hey o!

    Cards, Graphic novel very much worth it but is a tad pricey. I'm expecting it to be £59.99. Amazon usually do the prices for CE much lower before knowing the actual price, so I will Pre-Order it if that happens. I got Mass effect 2 day one for £29.99 because of it, so who knows, might pick this CE up for the same price as the regular edition.

    Looks like steel case too.

  • FortysixterUK #5 2 years ago

    Now that's a nice collectors edition ! Will defo pre-order.
    Blizzard could do with putting original hardback graphic novels in their future collectors editions instead of the obligatory artbook that is read once then left in the box ! Still got SC2-CE on pre order though

  • YoshiMcTaggis #6 2 years ago

    A rarity - a collector's edition that may actually be worth buying.

  • TruSmiles #7 2 years ago

    That's kinda cool. Cept I spent about £50 on Fallout 3's collectors edition, and a few months later you could find loads of them in the shops for £30 :(

  • Whitster #8 2 years ago

    Looks like quite a nice bundle, comapred to most half assed special editions out at the minute anyway. I always regreted not getting the special edition of 3, after spending an age collecting bobbleheads in game it would have been nice to have one in real life as well.

  • deadmonkeyuk #9 2 years ago

    Most collectors editions seem poor, this one actually looks good. But I was able to pre-order the standard edition for £28 so I will stick with that.

  • jellyhead #10 2 years ago

    youhavenomail, the Pubes that come with the already opened box will be the Game exclusive ;)

    Pubes or not, i'm still buying it \0/

  • Zebula77 #11 2 years ago

    Nah, I'll be getting the regular edition. :)

  • Flying_Pig #12 2 years ago

    That's a lot of great stuff for an extra $20.

    I just want a confirmed release date!!

  • Hunam #13 2 years ago

    FO3 Lunchbox > All other SE/CE tat.

  • spekkeh #14 2 years ago

    Best first post ever.

    Pretty ace CE actually, I never really care for them, but this actually sounds like you're not being ripped off. A pack of cards and chips always come in handy. Too bad by the time the game goes on sale, $20 will be €80.

  • Corben_Dallas #15 2 years ago

    They better release this in Europe. still pissed off that I could 'only' (yeah i know) get the lunchbox and not the clock/Pip Boy last time.

    YOU BETTER RELEASE THIS IN EUROPE BETHSEDA

  • JahB #16 2 years ago

    i hate the term graphic novel. it's a comic strip, just because grown up people read it, it doesn't evolve to the level of actual literature.

  • Yossarian #17 2 years ago

    Novel is probably better than the game! Love you, Avellone!

  • TheTingler #18 2 years ago

    If it has a bag of weed in there it's probably Gamestation.

  • kangarootoo #19 2 years ago

    Nice collector's edition. I am all for sets that include actual nice collectable stuff (rather than plastic action man figures, which are about as collectable as egg shells).

    I picked up the Bioshock 2 collector's edition (the only CE I have ever bought in my life) for less than the RRP of the basic game, so it is very much worth hunting around. I would guess the RRP on this in the UK will be £60, so you should be able to find it for £52 somewhere.

    I'm not quite tempted enough in this case, but it does look like a very good CE.

  • Murton #20 2 years ago

    Nice collection of CE stuff there. I am however going to refrain from pre-ordering just yet for two reasons.

    1: as mentioned earlier in the thread, the FO3 CE didn't sell anywhere close to expectations here and were available for less than half price only six weeks later.

    2: We still have little idea as to what improvements, if any, Obsidian have been able to make on that hideously broken engine.

  • metalangel #21 2 years ago

    You can save money on this by just having a normal edition shipped by Royal Mail. When the shiftless, lazy mailman gets to your house with the parcel, don't answer. He won't leave a card or drop it off with a neighbour. Instead, he'll throw it into the bushes at the side of your house where you won't find it for a month. You then get the thrill of 'discovering' it and painstakingly drying out the manual, art book and discs.

    Yes, this is what happened to my copy of Fallout 3.

  • AnsemsApprentice #22 2 years ago

    @Metalangel. Are you Joking? That is disgraceful man, I would have been f***ing furious. The only time that would have been acceptable is if he was dying as he came to your door and stumbled into the bushes, and even then it's a bit out of order...

    Nice idea, bit of a lost cause though as these things just take up space. Still a key ring, a poker chip or a bobble head sounds good.
