Yes, definitely there is a Steam key inside the PC version of the pip boy edition.

All the PC retail versions of Fallout 4 include Steam key. There is no need to use the disc if your brother can open the package for you and let you know what the key is.

Seriously? So really, there's absolutely no reason to buy the physical disc for the pc..

Yep, this is the same as all the other Bethesda Softworks titles from the past few years, and every other PC game out there that uses Steamworks.

The reason to buy the retail copy would be if you want to have a physical box to put on your shelf, or if you have limited internet, as I imagine it will reduce the download time a bit because some of the files are already included on the disc.

In my case, I don't own any optical drive, so the only way I can install retail games is by redeeming the Steam keys. From my perspective, it would be the same if retailers just sold little scratch cards with the code for the game.

The only reason I bought the physical copy of Skyrim was I wanted the map. For Fallout 4 I think physical pre-orders get the perk poster but that didn't interest me.

That's sad.. That basically means that after the war....When we come across an old pc that still has a working power core out in the wastes. We won't be able to insert the Fallout 4 disc we found and play the game.

And there I thought this thread would be about a DLC in Ronto...

LOLsorry to dissapoint. SO the pip boy should arrive today hopes up its being delivered by The courier one of them atleast) Im just worried that the code may not be in thee after seing some threads complaining but that was over with gamestop in the US soagain hopes up, if not hopefully theres a way gamesas support can send you the key via email.
