All the deets on the shiny toys the fans will just have to have... including some awesome poker chips.
There's nothing quite like a sexy Collectors' Edition of a hot game to get us excited, and the CE for the upcoming Fallout: New Vegas is looking Frank Sinatra-smooth. It was announced a couple of weeks ago in the States, but it's just been confirmed for downunder, and is already available for pre-order.
Here's what's in the box!
♠ "Lucky 7" poker chips. Each of the seven poker chips was designed to represent chips from the major casinos found on the New Vegas strip and throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
♠ A fully customised Fallout: New Vegas deck of cards. Each card in the pack has been uniquely illustrated to depict characters and factions found within the game. Use the cards to play poker, blackjack or Caravan, an original card game that was created by Obsidian especially for Fallout: New Vegas!
♠ A recreation of the game's highly coveted "Lucky 38" platinum chip.
♠ A hardcover graphic novel "All Roads", that tells the story of some of the characters and events that lead up to Fallout: New Vegas. "All Roads" was written by Chris Avellone, the game's creative director, and created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics.
♠ 'The Making of Fallout: New Vegas' DVD. This documentary DVD will contain exclusive video content, including interviews with the developers in which they take you from concept to creation and discuss topics such as story, setting, legacy of the Fallout franchise and more.
We're a sucker for cool poker chips, and following the huge amount of awesomeness that was Fallout 3, this could be the new must-have item for later in the year, when the game releases.
