About the phone compatibility? I wouldn't worry about that to be honest. Seeing how much they like the iPhone. Oh, and I was talking about the tiny big boss arm from the Phantom Pain. I was hoping to mix them up, but the hand isn't 1:1 scale like the Japan version.
I'll keep mine regardless, I've always wanted a pip boy for my collection.

I bet you can take an X-acto blade and modify an insert to fit any phone.

 

[Morning Star]

Had to settle for an Amazon preorder after BB sold out. That sucks.

 

[hateradio]

Wife demanded I order it...

Said no one ever . . .

 

[Nori Chan]

BB X1 edition with GCU is 103 with everything included.

So glad I got GCU

 

[Anos Voldigoad]

For that plastic junk?

Spoiler

Preordered

 

[loaf of bread]

ugh, why is Best Buy Ps4 sold out already.

 

[Hollycat]

preordered mine. I might be living on the street, but I'll have my pipboy.

 

[SlickVic]

Does Best Buy also throw in the $10 Rewards Certificate with the preorder of this? It seems they do it for most big releases, but didn't see anything directly confirming it.

I'm probably going to stick with the Standard Edition, but $95+tax with the 20% off GCU discount plus a $10 rewards certificate ain't too bad.

 

[LiK]

GCU discount

Plastic is hideously glossy. I was kinda excited when I saw it on stage, but then I realized it's just a phone holder.

Like most collector editions, this is an expensive piece of ass.

 

[tensuke]

I'm thinking Gamestop but I don't know what their reputation is for buying special editions. I don't know if Target or Walmart (prefer not to buy from walmart but I'm not as dead set against them like BB) even carry that kind of thing and can't think of anywhere else (Fred Meyer?).

From what I've read GS might give your order to someone else even if you reserve it. YMMV, obviously, but I dunno if I'd risk that. I dunno where else would have it, though. :/

 

[Auto-Reply]

I have to admit, it has a novelty factor and the idea of combining it with your smartphone is pretty clever. On the other side, I don't want to play the game with that on my arm and it doesn't look good enough to put it on a shelve as a collectors item (imo).

 

[zulux21]

I preordered on PC on best buy since the ps4 was sold out. Doubt I will keep the preorder but it never hurts to have one just in case... it can sit in my preorder list next to my MGS5 preorder that I likely won't keep either lol.

 

[Wildschwein]

Pre-ordered it for PC with the money I saved by there not being a PC MGSV CE.

 

[Derp]

$190 at EB Games for the Aussies.

Is there any cheaper way to get it?

I'm way too hyped about this game. I'm considering just keeping my Amazon order and just buying a regular edition to play while I wait... I mean I'm sure I can sell it for most of what I paid for it to some one.

Amazon is cheaper with 2-5 day shipping. I ordered from there. They ship to aus.

While you wait... Until later in the day? It comes out on a weekday and you would just be buying two copies on the first day, but all right...

 

[Thoraxes]

Wonder where the PC version will redeem, since Bethesda seems to be leaning towards making their own platform for this stuff.

Don't worry.

The aussie government will probably ban it.

Sadly you never know with those nuts.

 

[GKFinns]

Preordered my PS4 version from Amazon. Best Buy apparently sold out in twenty minutes. I really wanted my 20% off!

 

[Rootbeer]

Does best buy precharge for preorders such as this? I have GCU but can't decide on an edition at this point. can I cancel later?

 

[vgamer1]

Sooner than that!

Granted I'm not interested in buying it off Best Buy so I didn't try checking out, but people keep saying this but whenever I go to their website it doesn't seem to think it's sold out?

 

[mrpookles]

Ordered it for the wife.

 

[Snarfington]

Is it up in the UK yet?

It was on Amazon UK earlier but seems to have been taken off (my pre-order email links to an item that doesn't exist). Hopefully when the link comes up again my order is still honoured!

EDIT: Here's the link. It doesn't exist at the moment but it was up at like 5am. Maybe useful to put a page monitor on it to see if it changes?

It doesn't say coming soon for you?

 

[lifeexpectancy]

Awesome to get the GCU discount on the pip boy edition, brings it down to only $96. One of the few series I'll willingly still preorder/get the CE. Won't even do that for Halo anymore.

Marry that woman!

Um, he said 'wife' so he's already married her?

What the shit cakes?

 

[Tigress]

Only for the PS4 version. And I assumed it is cause they for whatever reason haven't updated that one. PC and xbox one it seems to let me pre order. And PS4 it never said anything more than coming soon (even before Amazon was offering it).

No. They were in stock, but sold out quickly.

 

[Phoenix944]

Will this be available in EU ?

 

[Cynn]

Yeah it's up on Amazon now. It's a $60 hunk of plastic, to be sure, but I've always wanted one so I don't mind eating the cost. I did kinda like Fallout 3's better tho...

I got the Fallout 3 version and when I sold it last year it was a $200.00 hunk of plastic. People love Pip Boys.

 

[doctorcdcs]

/facepalm

 

[MrBS]

Amazon is cheaper with 2-5 day shipping. I ordered from there. They ship to aus.

That will run you USD$145.47 or AUD$188.45. Considering it wouldn't ship from the US to Tuesday or Wednesday (AU time) you'd be lucky to have it that same week. Is that really worth saving ~$2? Unless you have a 28 degrees card or something similar to waive the currency conversion fees you'd be losing money after the fee from your bank.

 

[tbd]

I would buy it if it came with a digital edition. I am all done getting off my couch and popping in discs.

This is the worst thing in the world, honestly.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Thank you for this thread! I figured they weren't even available for preorder yet, boy was I wrong. I got dibs on mine! Time to count down the months.

 

[dreamfall]

Just preordered it on PS4! So, so excited!

 

[Chuck]

the knobs don't work, do they? i assumed they don't

 

[ScaryShark]

They move

 

[Lagamorph]

Nowhere in the UK taking pre-orders on the Pipboy edition yet

 

[LQX]

Hold on....you need a phone for the Pip-boy? It does not come with a functional screen? Fuck me. I did not realize that. I figured the screen was fully functional on its own. No way that's worth $70 more.

Yeh its just a piece of plastic housing lol

 

[Papasmurf531]

Just pre-ordered for Xbox One on Amazon. I haven't gotten many of these things since going to college, but I'll make an exception for this one. Hope they have these available to pre-order at the Gamestop at school so I can go at midnight and get it instead of waiting on Amazon.

Oh, I didn't mean the pip boy version, I meant the lunchbox with bobblehead and artbook. I never got that pip boy. Though the lunchbox looks to be going for $100-$150, not bad considering I got it for like $50 at Circuit City back when that was still a thing.

 

[Lagamorph]

The Fallout 3 lunchbox is worth money? I got it for next to nothing when I bought the PC version.

I still have mine too. Maybe I should sell it

Hmm I was looking at the Amazon prices, it's quite a bit lower on ebay, but still a decent chunk of change for a chunk of tin.
