Will this thing fit an iPhone 6 Plus?

think that might be a little big the screens on pip boys arnt that big most of the device is taken up by nobs and dials so i wonder how they are going to handle this

edit: maybe they could have a option in the app to change the screen size and on the inside of the pip boy have some sliding brackets to adjust for how big your phone is to hold it in place

 

[Oppo]

I believe it comes with foam inserts

and the display is 4:3 at any rate

You're stuck for now. I'd try to wait until it arrives, take it to a physical location and try to return and then rebuy immediately to get the discount.

This may or may not work. When I cancelled my Watch_Dogs special edition PC pre-order at Best Buy when it had arrived in-store and was ready for my pickup, it went on the shelf - for months.

However, if you already own the game, Best Buy's point of sale system may or may not allocate the unit upon returning it to their warehouse depo. This would mean it is no longer in their inventory and as such, would not be able to be purchased again. Use caution and ask one of the customer associates if they are POSITIVE - the system will also not tell them what it will be processed as, so unless they've done it before with this product, they may not know.

Will changing address from an Amazon pre order effect my pre order status?

Will changing address from an Amazon pre order effect my pre order status?

It shouldn't in theory. Amazon system can be a bit touchy at times with things they have sold out of. I have changed the shipping speed on another preorder for example and my status changed from the week of release to "unknown delivery date". Some times it wants to bump you to the back of the line.

You should be fine though since you're not messing with payments but if you want to do it and know you're going to be safe for sure, go through customer service.

Looking to order in Europe? We’re making sure that Pip-Boys are allocated overseas. As we have new information, we will update everyone.

Hopefully I don't miss it again.

Will changing address from an Amazon pre order effect my pre order status?

Crap, I didn't think about this. I might be moving before Fallout 4 comes out - we're looking to buy a Condo or Townhouse start in October. Currently I have a PS4 Pip Boy pre-ordered at Best Buy and Amazon and I was about to cancel the Amazon one since I didn't need it anymore due to managing to snag a BB pre-order with GCU. Hopefully Best Buy lets me change my address, if not I may have to go with the Amazon order.

 

[dankir]

Pre-ordered one! Finally was worried I was going to have to scramble when the game launches. Going to look great right next to my lunchbox.

 

[VeryGooster]

Best Buy and Gamestop still in stock. Amazon no stock. Not sure if they sold out or haven't gone back up yet.

 

[Stiler]

Is anyone else not able to order on gamestop?

It absolutely will NOT let me order, everytime I try to order with my cc it gives me some error processing (everything is correct, I've ordered with the same info before).

When I use paypal I got the paypal email telling me that I submitted an order but gamestop gave me yet another error message and the order doesn't show up in my order history.

Did Amazon already sell out again? IF so I am pissed, I signed up for your email notification and was told that I'd get an email asap when it goes up again.

 

[NoFaceNico]

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but they're back in stock at GameStop.

I just ordered another for my little nephew. I hope he enjoys it as his birthday present (hehehe I feel like an overseer).

 

[KevinG]

Up on Best Buy as well.

 

[wtshaolin]

Just pre-ordered on Best Buy, with that sweet 20% off!

 

[A.D. Skinner]

I really hope it has good space for the screen. I'd hate it to be anything before iPhone 6 size as those were tiny yet everywhere, but most people nowadays would be on a 6 or any other phone that's say, 5"?

Please please please.

 

[Quadraphonic]

Just pre-ordered on Best Buy, with that sweet 20% off!

Awesome. Just switched my Amazon pre-order to the Best Buy one.

 

[SheHateMe]

Just took a late lunch at work and tried to do some shopping.

Best Buy was in stock for all versions as of 23 minutes ago, however, they do NOT let you pre-order in store. Gamestop only has the PC version available as of 18 minutes ago.

Mind you, I already pre-ordered from Amazon the night it was announced, but I wanted that sweet GCU discount... sadly, however, they will not get my money this time.

Oh well.

EDIT: KEEP YOUR AMAZON PRE-ORDERS UNTIL THE WEEK BEFORE SHIPPING. You never know what will happen in other places.

 

[Kamina777]

Also it looks like cheapo plastic.

If it didn't look so cheaply made I would be on it, they definitely skimped on the materials.

yea. Has anyone been able to pre-order in store at Best Buy?

 

[Cormano]

dat GCU

 

[SheHateMe]

I'm finding this release to be weird.

EVERY OTHER TIME I've wanted to pre-order in the store for something in the future, I've been able to as long as I had the SKU. (Anecdotal, I know, but still.)

This time, however, they say they cannot, because "the game doesn't have a release date in the system". Which is bullshit, because the release date is online and I know the POS system operates from the Online Store as well.

Something fishy is going on with FO4 at Best Buy. I'm warning the Gaffers now: Buyer Beware.

 

[Noks415]

Guys its back up on Gamestop, I just placed my order.

 

[rawd]

That's why I got pre orders with Amazon.com , amazon.ca and bestbuy.ca

I trust no one..

(Single orders only, I'm not a blood sucking scalper)

 

[Compsiox]

I can't wait to get my hands on this!

 

[Haines]

Instead of a cat helmet....it's a phone helmet.

 

[Niosai]

Just got it from Gamestop. Phew...

 

[RowdyReverb]

Pre-order placed. I hate myself, but I needed this. At least GCU softened the blow by $24.

 

[Morning Star]

Now I feel like these won't be exactly limited, like those lunchboxes for Fallout 3.

 

[EchoChamber]

What size my phone needs to be to fit in the pip-boy?

 

[Darth Karja]

That's why I got pre orders with Amazon.com , amazon.ca and bestbuy.ca

(Single orders only, I'm not a blood sucking scalper)

Same here. But I just have 2 preordered, best buy and amazon. If both come through I have a friend who hasn't been able to get an order who will take it for retail price.

 

[Derp]

Shit i need to be ready if EB Games in Australia gets more allocations. Can someone pm me or something whenever that happens? I need one really bad

 

[Behlel]

Any info on the material used for the pip-boy itself?

 

[VeryGooster]

Target preorders are up. http://www.target.com/s?searchTerm=...|all+categories&lnk=snav_sbox_pip-boy+edition

 

[konstantine7]

Will changing address from an Amazon pre order effect my pre order status?

I moved after I preordered a PS4 and I was worried it might make me lose it. I did some research and found that if you pay it off with a gift card then you'll be good. Can't remember how it's done though sorry.

 

[rawd]

I dropped my .com one last night.. It was so hard to press cancel, but what are they odds both bb.ca and amazon.ca mangle my order

Please dont answer that

 

[rjinaz]

Best Buy has officially added Fallout 4 to the $10 preorder reward certificate club. It's not clear if that extends to the pipboy edition or not but I would assume so. PS4 sold out but the others still available.

I really thought this would be limited so I was going to buy two, one to collect and one to use, but now it doesn't really seem like it. I'll probably cancel one of my preorders. Good news though for everybody else that just wanted one.

 

[HBP]

Eh went ahead and pre-ordered from Amazon for Xbox, I will probably cancel and just get the digital version, but since they don't charge until it ships at least if I change my mind I have the option.

 

[disastermouse]

I pre-ordered this as soon as I found out it was available during E3. Amazon pre-order, so I knew I could cancel if I got cold feet.

There aren't many games I pre-order, and theoretically Bethesda is a bad bet - but I absolutely know that I'm going to want to play this game day 1, bugs and all.

 

[Vargas]

Amazon has it up for preorder.

 

[harrisk954]

Pip Boy Edition back up for pre-order at Amazon... get 'em while you can!

[Hambone]

Got the pre-order off Amazon.

 

[Dr. Light]

All the links in this thread are sold out...what am I missing here?

I've been trying to get this for the last few days, how is it going this fast?

You get a pip boy on your arm. Why do you think it's going fast?

Well, if you've been trying for "the last few days" then that's part of the problem, it wasn't really available again until yesterday. I'm surprised you weren't able to get one from GameStop, those were up for what seemed like forever. Amazon was obviously going to sell out immediately, but I'd say keep an eye out for GameStop or Best Buy.

Best Buy already sold out too. Is this limited or are they going to keep making these? Any word?

I would love to use my Gamer's Club Discount on one and get it at Best Buy.

 

[Backfoggen]

I could use a re-stock at Amazon.de

According to this article, they knew about the shortages and I think the additional stock from yesterday was probably a response to it. They also know about people grabbing multiple copies and might try to weed out scalpers.

Pete Hines on twitter 6/19/15:

1) We are trying to get some more Pip-Boy Editions to retail
2) I don't know which stores in which territories will have more
3) I am aware of folks grabbing multiple copies to turn around and sell on eBay. I have asked Bethesda store to review and address
4) I have talked to our Sales folks to make them aware and asked them to discuss with retailers as well

So, I'm aware and trying to help

Also another possible retailer to check out: Wal-Mart, but they're sold out right now too.

Eh, this concerns me. I've ordered a PS4, Xbox One, and PC version. I've got both console versions on order because I'd like to know if mods are confirmed for PS4 before going with that version otherwise I might stick with the Xbox One version. I ordered a PC one because a friend was out and missed the initial ordering so I ordered one for him. Are they going to consider me a scalper? I plan to cancel one and keep two of them.

 

[Hasney]

I thought mods were confirmed for PS4, just after XB1?
