New Vegas preorder bonuses announced!

Post » Sun Mar 28, 2010 5:41 pm

Not getting it on Steam though. It's all about the physical copy.
But you're getting Steam on it...


Don't panic! If you already preordered the game from a participating store -- either online or in-store -- you will receive the bonus.
Is Amazon participating then?

Please, PLEASE tell me if we can stack multiple pre-order bonuses on one game. If so, I will buy multiple copies and send the other to my brother. If not, then I am not buying multiple copies. Specifically, I want to buy the caravan pack and the mercenary pack. I want to pre-order from two different places and combine the bonuses on one game. Can I do that?


You should be able to combine both codes for use in one game, but they can only be used once per copy. In other words, you and your brother would not both be able to share both starter packs.

Is Amazon participating then?


Amazon gets the Tribal Pack, as detailed in the blog post.

As long as the suites don't have a un-removable helmet like other pre-order bonuses i have got, then these are a sure win. My favorite is the Caravan pack! Shottie and binoculars ftw.

I will probably not be able to get one of these pre-order exclusives.
I really hate it when they do stuff like this.
If it were only one kind of pre-order exclusive then that's fine, it just means you'd have to buy that one, but four different one's?
If they add these things further down the line like Left 4 Dead did with baseball bats then it's fine but to be required to buy 4 different copies to have 100% of the game's content?

I'm happy for the other stuff, repair kits, venom, throwing spears and super stimpacks but I'm not happy about the "exclusive" bs.
Idunno wether I'm pissed off or happy.

Why are you "required" to get any of them? They're bonuses - like getting a promotional glass for a movie at McDonalds. (plus, they're just items with slightly different textures or stats, or gained earlier - it's not like additional quests or zones.)

Why did I run around the capital wasteland collecting skill books or unique weapons?
Because I wanted to complete a collection of those items.
So with this I cannot complete the Vegas collection.

And I'm not required to buy them but it will always be picking me in the back of my head that I will never be able to complete the collection.
That's what pisses me off.
And I know "what's the point of the collection?".
Nothing, just as pointless as pressing the LS button and placing items in your megaton house to decorate it, yet alot of us still do it.

And I'm not against "a" exlcusive but four different one's is what's irritating me.
It means basically noone but the one's with too much cash on their hands will be able to get all of these items.

Crap that means I can't get the collectors edition.


Caravan Pack is also available at Walmart.

I speculate that further down the road that this maybe available to everyone else with a fee, as seen in most games where preorder bonuses are released months later for a dollar or two.

I am very upset with this news...i pre- ordered the game in a store as soon as Beth announced it for first time; so is unfair.


If you already pre-ordered through one of the participating channels, you'll get that store's digital pre-order item.

What about the UK?

We are still awaiting the info on the CE for the UK, that was over a month ago.


None of the UK site like amazon or game have updated since the game was announced

Whats the Dealie-o?


As soon as we have more details on other territories, we'll let you know. As noted in the blog post we put up, it's not just coming to North America.

Preorder bonuses... I guess they're alright if you already intended to get the game near/at launch at full price, but it's not something that would win me over.

I assume the items magically appear in your inventory ala Dragon Age? So it's like a retextured cheat item except not overpowered. Big deal. :P


It wouldn't surprise me if the textures already come with everyone's game, so that even without a pre-order they're easily modded in for PC users.

Bah, that Dragon Age armor was just a drag on your inventory. Had to carry that thing around until someone in the party had high enough Str to wear it. :/
(Well, or just sell it for 8g. Which is a decent amount right at the beginning. But "our preorder bonus is 8g!!!!" just sounds so boring. :lol: )

Were you a mage?
There was some talent which lets you convert the str requirement for armor into magic requirements instead.

Probably handed to you by the Doc. "Here ya go son, I found these on your body". Hands a pair of testees. "Now get out there and show the world what you got".

Anyone know when in game content bonuses are announced in relation to game release dates?
Just my experiance is they fall close together.
And with E3 tomorrow and all the new info coming our ways.
Oh I am so excited, I just cant hide it.

Classic seems like the way to go for hardcoe. Also, I never used Steam, and never ever will, so I don't have many options.

The exact trend of money grubbing that you've described so innocently which is taking place in numerous companies and is growing at an exponential rate.

No I like that it's free stuff but I want to get the collectors edition but if I want the caravan pack I'll have to order on steam and I won't be able to get the collectors edition.


You can get it from walmart too. For console users like me.
