    Ya, I thought about the full addition, but figured its would save me the crazy lines at target or Best buy tomorrow. Looks like some stores are opening or staying open to sell at midnight, not in albany of course. I am looking forward to playing as well as Red Alert 3 which release tomorrow too. I guess target will start selling Fallout at 8am and circuit city is give you a 10 gift cards for your hard earn dollars. Steam may be a long route since it appears that they are not pre-loading yet.

    I purchased the Collector's Edition from EBWorld with the pre-order special with guaranteed delivery on the 29th (Wednesday). It came with something else - but can't remember what it was.

    The Fallout 3 Collector's Edition includes:

    * Fallout 3: From the creators of the award-winning Oblivion comes one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland. Prepare for the future.
    * Vault Boy Bobblehead: Enjoy your very own Vault Boy with this collector’s item direct from Vault-Tec.
    * The Art of Fallout 3: This hardcover book features nearly 100 pages of never-before seen concept art and commentary from Bethesda Game Studios artists.
    * The Making of Fallout 3: Get an exclusive, inside look at Bethesda Game Studios and the team behind the game with this special DVD.
    * Vault-Tec Lunch Box: The entire package comes in a fully customized metal lunchbox.

    I'll probably pick mine up in person at Best Buy. Dunno which edition I'll get. I probably won't run out the first day. I've still got several other games I want to finish and get off my hard drive first.

    XBOX 360? I wish someone else in AK would buy a damned PS3. Its superiority is self-evident.

    Speaking of the PS3, I think I'll probably get its version of Fallout 3. The game sounds as though it was designed primarily for consoles, anyway. The only downside is that I won't be able to use community mods. The upshot is that I can play it on a 50" plasma in stunning surround sound from my couch.
