Fallout: New Vegas – Greg’s Birthday Wish

Written by on May 11, 2010

Dear GamerMom,

If you’re looking for the ideal birthday present to get for your favorite GamerPop, how about the Fallout: New Vegas Collectors Edition? Sure, I put over 100 hours into Fallout 3, and that was 100 hours we didn’t spend together. But to be fair, during almost all of those 100 hours, you were asleep.

But as you consider the many wonderful things you could purchase for my birthday, look at all the great stuff that’s included in the Fallout: New Vegas Collectors Edition:

  • Lucky 7 poker chips. Each of the seven poker chips was designed to represent chips from the major casinos found on the New Vegas strip and throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
  • A fully customized Fallout: New Vegas deck of cards. Each card in the pack has been uniquely illustrated to depict characters and factions found within the game. Use the cards to play poker, blackjack or Caravan, an original card game that was created by Obsidian especially for New Vegas!
  • A recreation of the game’s highly coveted Lucky 38 platinum chip.
  • A hardcover graphic novel “All Roads”, that tells the story of some of the characters and events that lead up to Fallout: New Vegas. “All Roads” was written by Chris Avellone, the game’s creative director, and created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics.
  • The Making of Fallout: New Vegas DVD. This documentary DVD will contain exclusive video content, including interviews with the developers in which they take you from concept to creation and discuss topics such as story, setting, legacy of the Fallout franchise and more.

Not ready to take my word for it? What about Bethesda’s vice president of PR and marketing, Pete Hines who says “We’re offering this very cool collector’s edition to give fans the opportunity to own some of the items that they’ll discover while playing Fallout: New Vegas. We are also expanding their experience with the game by including a top-notch graphic novel worthy of the Fallout name and a DVD that gives them a behind-the-scenes look at how the game was created.”

Come on, how can you say no to that?

Love you,

Greg
