Summary: PIP boy Survival clock edition
Comment: Not very satisfied with the survival edition, it did come with a great game and a poorly built PIPBoy clock. The clock is not that good. I purchased a couple editions for gifts and they all keep going dead overnight. They all last about 1 day and need new batteries again - forget that!! Seems to be a problem with the clocks draining the batteries down over night. I suggest just buying the cheaper edition.
- The game is great. You definitly need a guide book. The problem is that it does end and you would have to start over again. Not as good as Oblivion. Oblivion is much more colorful and happier.

Summary: Great Game, Survival Ed. is overpriced
Comment: If you liked the other games in the series and/or Oblivion you will like Fallout 3. The Amazon.com exclusive Survival Edition includes a large battery operated clock shaped like the Pipboy 3000, which although is an interesting addition to your museum of game swag, in a few months it will just be sitting there collecting dust and you will have to find someplace to put it when a girl comes over. For the money stick with the collector's edition which has everything except the clock.

Summary: Amazon canceled my Survival Edition order - BOO!
Comment: I preordered the Survival Edition as soon as it went on sale last summer, and it never arrived. Nor did the purchase show up any longer in my "Your Orders" section. I double-checked the confirmation email, and clicked the link there, which sent me to an Amazon page for the Collector's Edition. I sent two emails about this and received zero response.
Finally, I talked to someone on the 800 help line who said -- after asking for far more personal information than necessary -- the order was canceled on October 23 & my card refunded. Why? She didn't know. I still don't know. I've ordered from Amazon for YEARS, but can I trust any longer that if I buy something it will arrive? I realize customer service is a dying art, but c'mon Amazon you put your NAME on the product.
I ended up buying the Collector's Edition at a brick n' mortar store, and I'd give the game 4 stars so far. It's fun. Not exactly Fallout. Feels more like Firefly (the tv show) in my opinion, but it is fun.
Zero stars to Amazon, though, if possible. Word to the wise: email is free, and good will is priceless.

Summary: Game Great, Video Buggy, PipBoy Battery Hog
Comment: Fallout was one of the first RPG's I ever played and lead me to Fallout 2, Balder's Gate, IceWind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, and now 3+ years of WoW. So finally to get back to the wasteland with modern graphics and interface was something I was greatly anticipating. Unfortunately, once I received .Fallout 3: Amazon.com Exclusive Survival Edition, I found that my 4-year-old ASUS NVIDIA PCIe graphics card in my desktop machine was not supported. I then installed it in my Alienware M9750, and had issues with the main graphics going black, while the HUD display overlay remained. Updating the graphics drivers and applying the latest patch significantly reduced the frequency of the problem, but did not completely eliminate it as I recall. My memory is fuzzy on it, because I proceeded to upgrade by desktop to a PNY NVIDIA 9800 GT. With the latest drivers and patches, I've had no problems at all with the game.
The game itself is great, and delivers the Fallout experience with modern day graphics and character movement and interface.
Now just a brief word about the Survivors special edition with PipBoy 3000 digital clock. After one week the 3 AA batteries that come with it died. I suppose the retro green LED display would inherent be a battery hog, but it does severely limit its usefulness.

Summary: Its amazing...GO BUY IT!
Comment: I have always been a Fallout fan and was kinda leary when I found out a different company was making this game (I am not an Oblivion fan). However, Bethesda really out did themselves and produced one helluva awesome game thats as faithful to Fallout 1 and 2 as possible while getting the proper updates and changes necessary to make it a GOTY contender if not outright winner for 2008. Vote with your wallet and support a company that supports us Fallout fans. Please buy this game dont pirate it! The Amazon Edition Pipboy is a neat bit of nerdism that sits proudly next to my computer and is excellent when playing at 2am to know just how much of your life you have spent(but not wasted) playing this fantastic game. The bobblehead is pretty sweet as is the lunchbox also. So just go buy this thing already!

Editorial Reviews:

The third game in the Fallout series, Fallout 3 is a singleplayer action role-playing game (RPG) set in a post-apocalyptic Washington DC. Combining the horrific insanity of the Cold War era theory of mutually assured destruction gone terribly wrong, with the kitschy naivety of American 1950s nuclear propaganda, Fallout 3 will satisfy both players familiar with the popular first two games in its series as well as those coming to the franchise for the first time.
