Ok, so I'm considering buying this game and all of the DLC for it, but was wondering if I should wait for the Ultimate Edition in February. The game itself is a mere $15 and the DLC barring the Gun Runner's Arsenal and Courier's Stash is $40 making it a grand total of $55. The Ultimate Edition should probably cost anywhere from $50-60. So my question is is it really worth it to wait for the Ultimate Edition? I have the Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition on PS3, which I was told didn't need to install the DLC to my hard drive, which it did and I have no problem with, but makes me wonder if getting the NV Ultimate Edition is really worth waiting for. Any input?

Also on a semi-related note, I think the Gun Runner's Arsenal should be worth it, but is what exactly is the Courier's Stash all about? Thanks in advance for any clarification on this.

Ultimate Edition is just going to be a lot more convenient (and oh so fancy) so in my opinion you should wait for it. I've owned the game since day 2 and already have all the DLC but I'll probably buy the UE. As for Courier's Stash, it's just a few bits of armor and weapons, basically all of the pre-order items in one DLC. Nothing spectacular but it's cheap so I bought it for the hell of it.

Yes it is worth it, as you're getting the game fairly cheap since the game and the DLCs cost more than the combo pack. Couriers Stash is just a junk DLC that makes the beginning of the game super easy by throwing a bunch of items in your inventory.

What's different about the Ultimate edition?

* You'd think they would hold one (new unreleased) DLC in reserve as an exclusive incentive besides being pre-patched at install.

That's what I'm saying, not really a point to wait for it.

I only use the Vault 13 Suit/Light leather armour 10mm and the Caravan Shotgun, the rest are sold to the nearest trader.
I'm usually run energy weapons characters anyway.

I'm a big fallout fan, but this Ultimate edition seems like a waste of money. I have already got all the DLC and they have not included anything new, they could of least have thrown in a small piece DLC e.g another Gun packor something, I mean the fans who are going to buy this would have all of the DLC already . I am very disappointed

I own the regular game, bought everything but GRA and Couriers Stash (I do have the Classic Pack as well). Yet I will still probably buy GRA, and Ultimate Edition when it comes out (It just so happens to be released two days after my birthday. So ima buy the Ultimate edition, and give my NV copy to my little brother for a bit late christmas present (We already talked about, hes so excited XD). Its not too much money, and you get it all nicely bundled into one package. Its especially good for those who dont have access to internet, like one of my friends who is also deciding to buy it even though he owns a copy of the game. Its all a matter of personal preference, just because you already have the DLC doesnt mean you shouldnt buy it if you want it, do like im doing, and give your first copy to a friend or family member who doesnt/cant have it, that way everyones happy. Or dont, and do whatever XD

The Ulitimate Ediion is just all the DLCs, nothing more, nothing less. If you already have the game and 4 main DLCS there is zero reason for the ultimate edition. If you have nothing at all, get the ultimate edition. Or better yet, wait for the Steam Christmas sale and buy the game and all DLCs for about 20-30 US Dollars.

On November 25th they had a 1 day sale where NV and ALL of the DLC were sold for a total of $16.50. They may have a deal like that sometime again before winter holidays.
