Cute :happy:

So knowing Bethesda it was just the exactly same games you could have bought at any time in a new package?

Definately for the collectors. And I mean, that is a pretty sweet case, the Mini Nuke. I would have gone with a Vault Door that opened up and had the CD's in there like that, but I give them credit for design.

Great for people who are unfortunate to not have played older Fallout games or just want to pass FO1,2,3 and NV before 4.

BUT sadly you can get the same bundle for £20 or less, if you have a steam and a GOG account, soooo I'm going to have to pass on this one.

Yea if you actually read there's a space to put fallout 4 in the mini nuke.

I can't remember the last time I bought a physical disk. Steam is just so much easier...But damn does having backups of all my Fallout games inside a snazzy mini-nuke case sound kinda cool.

But is it worth it, because in all honesty if this was £20 hell even £30 then I might consider but £50 for a case and games that are only worth £10 in my eyes cause Steam :D,

It just seems a little bit overpriced because FO4 costs £55 plus this case its going to equal to £105, in my eyes its just not worth it.

Actually it is really well worth it for people who don't have the whole collection and how could a collector pass up a mini nuke for 50 bucks, if you truthfully think about fallout 3 and fallout new vegas prices at game stop are still 20 bucks a piece so if you compare the old games aren't even worth that much anymore.

A collector will jump on this as if it were hotcakes, but the standard customer will look at this and think should I buy this mini nuke collection for £50 or should I look elsewhere e.g Steam and GOG.

Me being the average customer will see this as a bad offer, while the collector will be creaming their pants over this, so it really depends on your Point of view on this matter.

It's definitely for collectors, no two ways about that. But four games (complete with any DLC for 3 and New Vegas) in a fancy case for $50 is still a great value, regardless of better values elsewhere. If I didn't already own all of the existing Fallout games, I would have no regrets dropping money on this; that's what I did for the Elder Scrolls Anthology.

Owning a mini-nuke certainly eases the pain of not having my own Pip-boy. Just too bad that it has no radioactive material since it would have been a great firework display for the Fourth of July. That firework display would have been remembered for centuries or at least until 2077.

lol, I'm actually considering buying it even though I have them on Steam. Never bought a collector item, but if I did it would probably be a fallout one.

I would probably buy that if I didn't already own two copies of every Fallout game.

Not necessarily. I know I got the Elder Scrolls Anthology because, up until that point, I had only played TES games through Steam-sharing with my friends (Daggerfall and Arena excluded, for being offered free). Same situation could easily apply to Fallouters, or anyone who really only owns one game (or they only own console editions and want to get into the PC territory).

Like many here, I already own these. So it's no biggie to me.
But for people that are coming into the series fresh with F4?
Definitely a market there. They've only had rights to sell the originals for a short few years, so it's kind of the right time, with a new game.


who knows, maybe people will eat up the older games like crack rocks and tell Bethesda they want more games like them.

Apparently you need to run Fallout 3: Game of the Year in Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode and install Games for Windows. You don't need to run Games for Windows just the program.

Had to order mine from Germany and it won't be here until Monday.

Never played FO before 3. And only have FNV on PC so it was an easy decision to get this.

When I installed Fallout 3 on my new machine I needed to install GFWL alongside it for it to run. But then I also had a mod that was just a one-button disabler that completely purged the horrible thing in nuclear fire.

So I installed a program specifically so that I could use another program to kill it in a more final and complete way. I would be put on trial for crimes against computanity if machines ever take over.
