Product Description

Amazon.com

An Amazon.com Exclusive, the Fallout 3: Survival Edition, is the ultimate Fallout 3 package that includes a life-size replica of the Pip-Boy 3000, the wrist-mounted device worn by characters in-game. The Pip-Boy 3000 has been painstakingly recreated and modified for real world display as a digital clock. In addition to the Pip-Boy 3000, the Survival Edition will include all of the items from the Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition including the Fallout 3 game, a customized, metal Vault-Tec lunch box, 5" Vault Boy Bobblehead, The Art of Fallout 3 hardcover book, and The Making of Fallout 3 DVD.

According to Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks, "The Survival Edition offers gamers the unique opportunity to own a piece of video game history along with a collection of limited edition items – it’s the definitive Fallout 3 package."

From the creators of award-winning Oblivion, Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever made. Create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland. Prepare for the future. The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong, with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.

For 200 years, Vault 101 , a fallout shelter, has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shoddy Clock Not Worth the Price
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2008
The game is fantastic. The lunchbox and bobblehead are neat. Those points have been made very well in other reviews of them. This review focuses on the one item exclusive to the Survival Edition, the PipBoy Clock. The clock is a poor product, plain and simple, and not worth $10 extra, much less the $50 over the Collector's Edition price.

Performance is terrible. The clock doesn't work unless you use some redneck engineering on it with aluminum foil inserts placed between the positive battery point and the positive contact plate. Once you get the batteries in and actually get power to the display, setting the time can itself is cumbersome. The three buttons provided are often times unresponsive, requiring a good deal of wiggling at times to get the display to change as desired. The display, even with fresh batteries, is very dim, very hard to interpret unless the room it's in is very dark.

In terms of power consumption, it devours batteries, consuming three AA batteries every two weeks, sometimes sooner. In comparison, the old one-way pager I carry for my job, which has an alarm, storage for phone numbers and time received, and makes some rudimentary sounds if desired, uses one AAA battery every MONTH or so. This clock doesn't even have an alarm, and uses much more power for it.

Aesthetically, the clock is a mixed bag. The overall design and look match the Fallout universe exactly. My example, however, arrived unpainted, looking nothing like I expected it to look. I know the technology and "look and feel" of the game series is "used retro science fiction", but this clock is as drab as drab gets, with no logos or anything to maintain that sense of having something form the Fallout world, even if it's a fake. Further, the clock was at one point supposed to be wearable like the PipBoy used in the game. That too, has been nullified by poor craftsmanship.

Furthermore, the level of customer service provided for this clock from amazon.com and Bethesda SoftWorks, the game's license holder, is incredibly underwhelming. For one, in order to get any warranty work done on it, you must send in money, and the clock, to some company in California that no one's ever heard of. So for yet more money you lose possession of a broken clock that originally only cost you $50. Compare this sort of "service" to the defective  Gears of War 2 Amazon.com Exclusive Lancer . When the NECA Lancer had its own battery issue, similar to the one described above, NECA and amazon.com worked to fix it somehow. NECA sent out replacement parts, for free, in a timely manner if you contacted them. amazon.com handed out $10 coupons good for the next purchase on ANYTHING they sell. Wither that level of customer service from amazon.com and Bethesda SoftWorks for this quasi-defective clock?

All in all, SAVE YOUR MONEY. The Collectors' Edition gives you so much more value, with the lunchbox and bobblehead being the best collectibles this year. With incredibly poor workmanship, lack of attention to detail, unknown warranty service from a company whose reliability can't be ascertained, and overall price point, this clock simply is not worth the extra $50 price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great epic game that lives up to the Fallout legacy.
Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2009
Fallout 3 is just awesome. There is so much to explore in this game that you could spend days trying to do all the side quests. The actual core quest of the game is probably less than 20 hours if you skip all the side quests. But that would be a waste of a game. You can customize you character to suit your taste on gender and skills/perks as you level up. People that have played the previous Fallout games on the pc will be familiar with the skill/perks.
Also you can be as good or as bad as want to be or be neutral, things you do in the game affect your karma which can go up or down depending on your actions. But you won't know exactly how much it goes up or down. So you can do a few playthroughs in Fallout 3 to experience what it would be like to be evil or good, the game plays differently for evil or good characters.
Gameplay aside the graphics are decent for the PS3 the Xbox 360 graphics are slightly better and if you have a really powerful graphics card for your pc, the pc version dominates in the graphics department. Aside from the graphics you may occasionally experience a game freeze, it's rare though I've only experienced it 3 times since I've been playing, I've already put in 50 hours in the game since I got it. Lastly if you want to really experience everything this game has to offer, I highly recommend getting a game guide. You could buy one (Prima had a Collector's edition) or download one from Gamespot or other game site.
The Prima guide is the most complete I've seen so far, I have one and don't play without it. I do also check out some guides online for specific info but they aren't complete sometimes. For any gamer that's into RPG's this is a definite must buy game.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great game; lame bundle; better things to work on.
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2009
Fallout 3 is a great game taking place in the Washington D.C. area. It's RPG elements and abundance in quests will keep a gamer playing for days. However, the game is buggy and have not been fixed since the game's launch. Sudden freezes and CTW errors really dampen the game. I personally believe that Bethesda should first release patches to fix critical problems in their game than create a new Survival Edition or release a map editor.

1.0 out of 5 stars Review of the Pip-Boy
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2008
Please note, that I am only writing this review as a warning about the included Pipboy collectible clock.

The game itself is very well done, and the included bonus features in the lunch box (mentioned in the other review) are high quality and definitely add to the experience.

The pipboy however does not. It is incredibly cheaply produced. Upon arrival the button used to set the clock was broken on mine. I managed to get it to correct time by putting batteries in it at noon. After 1 week on display it completely died on me, and even new batteries won't get it on again.

This feels like nothing more than a $5 toy, yet it adds an impressive $40 to this package.

The repair warranty inside will replace it, although you will have to pay for shipping if this is necessary.

I highly recommend this game and the collectors edition. I can not recommend paying an extra $40 however for such a cheap 'exclusive".

This applies to all 3 versions, (PS3, X360, and PC)
