This game actually has some pretty decent stuff included in the Collectors/Survival Editions.  I wouldn't even consider the Survival Edtion, but the Collector's is pretty tempting.  What version of the game are you planning to buy?

I ordered the survival edition a few months ago. Yes, I am crazy, but I cannot resist that pip boy 3000.

As cool as it sounds, I would just pass on that and just get the game regular; this if speaking from someone that bought the collectors edition of GTA4 and while it felt nice at first, I do regret not having that extra money now.

I'll get the regular game.

I've never bought a collectors edition game before..I just can't see spending the extra money for what most of them offer.

"I've never bought a collectors edition game before..I just can't see spending the extra money for what most of them offer."

I ordered the Collector's Edition ...I would love to get the SE, but I don't trust that the clock will actually be nice. I need to see real pics of thing, showing it while actually working etc.

I just checked amazon, and the Collector's Edition boxart is way cooler then the Survival one. Oh well.

i just ordered the survival edition, I hope i don't end up regretting a week later.

This is probably one of the better CEs out there.  Having said that, I also chose to waste a whole bunch of money on the Survival Edition (AKA PipBoy 3000).

I would get the Survival Edition if and only if I could wear the Pip-Boy. Nothing is awesome about a damn alarm clock.

I'm going for the regular game.

there is a survival edition? i got the one with the metal lunch box which one is that? are they different?

as far as I know, the survival edition is the same as the collector's edition, only with the added bonus of a pip-boy 3000 alarm clock and a heftier price tag."

Hmm...I think i'll pass and just get the game. The content alone should keep me busy for a few months. Can't say i wouldnt like some 'making of ' content and artwork, but i dont really feel like spending the extra 20 bucks. ( don't know what i'd do with the lunch box.)

how much more is it? seems useless to me..."

I gotta tell ya, my favorite thing on my desk is my Big Daddy figurine. The PipBoy clock is going to go right next to it. Can't wait.

CooooooooooooooooooooooLecter

The Fallout 3 CE is the closest I ever came to being on the fence between regular and CE editions. Fortunately for me, I still haven't made it over.

Standard edition.  I just want to play the game1

"The Fallout 3 CE is the closest I ever came to being on the fence between regular and CE editions. Fortunately for me, I still haven't made it over."

the $59.99 version  :D

Man, I want the CE but.. but... its like an extra 20 bucks.
I guess I'll end up with the regular game... and download everything else off the internet. Yes, even the clock. I'll download it and print it out and hang it on my wall.

Why are there never CE's for games I really want. I wouldn't mind a severed hand with my Left 4 Dead.

I just preordered the collector's edition (off amazon ironically). I want that lunchbox. So I can eat lunch. That I brought from home.  What I don't want to do is pay extra money for a clock that I will never use. The best part was that my mom totally let me get it because she has no idea about the actual content of the game. Meanwhile my friends will be envious because they have parents who are strict about this kind of stuff.

Im upgrading to limited edition tomorrow I am hyped

Just regular, don't have $80 for a poster. I might get the strategy guide though.

GTA IV and MGS 4 and Now Fallout 3.  Those are the only Collector's Editions I've preordered that I can remember.  They are all very good games, and came with items I was actually interested in.  That is, with the exception of Fallout 3 which I am impatiently still waiting to play...but I'm pretty sure it will be great, and if not, they'll patch in the greatness in a few weeks.  :D

I'm buying my brother the Survivial edition and getting the regular for myself.  The Pip-Boy bobblehead and the lunch box would be cool as heck, but my wallet's taken a huge hit this month on gaming.

Hmmm, I might just bump up to the Collector's Edition.  My brother works hard but doesn't have much extra cash.  He seemed really interested in the Survivial Edition, and it's the least I can do for him as a bit of a surprise.  As for me, yeah, I'm not all that interested in another watch or alarm clock.

I've got the Survival Edition arriving from Amazon tomorrow with "Release Date Delivery."
I'm giving the lunchbox & bobblehead to my wife & using the clock for myself. ;)
I can't wait!  I'm picking up a guide from the store tomorow (I didn't want to pay shipping for a guide that wasn't going to arrive until 2 days after I started the damn game :P  )

Just getting the standard edition of the game.  i got the collector's editions of Halo 2 & Gears of War and the extra disc did not justify the extra price for me in my opinion.  I just want the game and the strategy guide....

wait... all amazon tells me is that the survival edition has everything that the collectors edition has plus a clock... really?

Yeah thats what I think im going to do not worth 20 extra dollars for poster and bobble head for me but Survival edition sounds awesome."

I'm getting the Collectors Editon as well as the Strategy guide.  If Oblivion is any indication, I have a felling that I'm going to be buying much more Fallout 3 related content (DLC FTW!)

My lunchbox had a big ding in one of the corners. Pissed me off. I hate Gamestop.

I got the CE. I like all the little extra bells and whistles. But an extra 50 buck for an alarm clock was too much for me to go to the SE.

I'm picking up the Collector's Edition in about an hour.  Looking forward to it greatly!  I'll be posting some unboxing photos as well :)
