Yesterday it's announced that Gamestop, Amazon, and Best Buy will get more Pipboy Editions. So I stay up all freaking night waiting for Amazon to restock. Gamestop and Best Buy had them in stock almost all day yesterday. THEN... I FINALLY go to bed around noon and Amazon STILL hasn't restocked, and I wake up 3 hours later and they've not only restocked, but they're sold out again already?

[censored]. [censored] [censored].

Calm down, dear.

From where you're kneeling it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck. Are they sold out everywhere again?

why didn't you just have amazon send you an e-mail when it comes available? that way you don't need to wait up all night. friend of mine did that and got a copy that way.

Yup.

Dude... I used eyeitforme to set an alarm... and it didn't work. It apparently only works when you have the page open, not minimized. But yes, I also have a useless email sitting in my inbox. Great job it did notifying me when they sold out within an hour... while I was asleep.

First world problems much?

your email didn't send your phone an alert?

had other places to order but decided to wait for a single one that would probably sell out quicker while using some odd notification system

Because everyone has a smartphone, right?

I don't want to order from those other places, I wanted to order from Amazon. I was told Amazon would be restocking, but of course, there's never any word on when that kind of thing happens. I waited patiently and it never happened... until I went to sleep.

But no, you're right, it's my fault...

But then what is the point of paying an extra $50.00 for a pip boy that works with smart phones? I plan to duct tape my phone to my arm the first week and run the app.

Maybe you can get it through the http://store.gamesas.com/?gclid=CIS6m_ORqcYCFQ-maQodVlkC1g.

Because I like to collect useless baubles and leave them laying around the house?

Fair enough

Someguy029 is quoting Benny from Fallout New Vegas I see.

Yeah, maybe. Pete Hines said they were getting a few more on the Beth store. The problem is they take all of the money up-front, and I won't have enough money to buy until maybe tomorrow. Amazon doesn't take anything until they ship, which is kinda why I was waiting for that.

I would have done the same thing

Aaaaaand they're gone.

Step #1- Slap your phone onto your right wrist.

Step #2- Duct tape said phone.

Step #3- Bam! Instant makeshift Pipboy 2015! It can even get on the internet!

I feel for you, I watched the e3 presentation live, and about 30 minutes later decided to see if amazon had the collectors edition listed. So I was fairly lucky.

Like you, I don't even have a smart phone. Its just going to rest right next to my fallout 3 lunch box. (that has a deck of cards,poker chips and the cheap pip boy in it.)

Well it is Fallout 4 after all, of course it would be sold out.

A possible http://www.instructables.com/id/A-3D-printable-Pip-Boy-3000/? The comments below suggest some places where printing might be commissioned, but there may be some affordable commercial sites not mentioned.

This all pre-dated Bethesda's announcement of FO4, by the way, so not a direct rip-off, just enthusiasts thinking alike.

I had Amazon send me an email. Got the email, made the purchase, done. Not sure why the email alert didn't work for you. Tough break.

I plan on using my running arm band that holds my phone when I'm running. Just tighten the straps some so it fits on my wrist.

(on top of that, I'll sync it with my TV so that I can play my music over the game music)

Why didn't you just get it from best buy or something? Why do you *have* to get it from Amazon?

Meh. The scalpers are ALWAYS gonna be the first to buy these limited edition stuff especially in the video-game community.
Buy one for 6x more about a year from now.
