An Amazon.com Exclusive, the Fallout 3: Survival Edition, is the ultimate Fallout 3 package that includes a life-size replica of the Pip-Boy 3000, the wrist-mounted device worn by characters in-game. The Pip-Boy 3000 has been painstakingly recreated and modified for real world display as a digital clock. In addition to the Pip-Boy 3000, the Survival Edition will include all of the items from the Fallout 3 Collector's Edition including the Fallout 3 game, a customized, metal Vault-Tec lunch box, 5" Vault Boy Bobblehead, The Art of Fallout 3 hardcover book, and The Making of Fallout 3 DVD.

According to Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks, "The Survival Edition offers gamers the unique opportunity to own a piece of video game history along with a collection of limited edition items - it's the definitive Fallout 3 package."

From the creators of award-winning Oblivion, Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever made. 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. 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.

The Story: Vault 101 - Jewel of the Wastes
For 200 years, Vault 101 , a fallout shelter, has faithfully served the surviving residents of Washington DC and its environs, now known as the Capital Wasteland. Though the global atomic war of 2077 left the US all but destroyed, the residents of Vault 101 enjoy a life free from the constant stress of the outside world. Giant Insects, Raiders, Slavers, and yes, even Super Mutants are all no match for superior Vault-Tec engineering. Yet one fateful morning, you awake to find that your father has defied the Overseer and left the comfort and security afforded by Vault 101 for reasons unknown. Leaving the only home you've ever known, you emerge from the Vault into the harsh Wasteland sun to search for your father, and the truth.

- Awesome game, junk clock
You DO want the game - it's great post-apocalyptic stuff! You do NOT want this bundle - the clock is shoddily made and will break as soon as you get it out of the box (mine died in a week).

Rating:

- They should be paying me to own this stupid clock
The Pipboy clock that comes with this set eats batteries so quickly they should be paying me to use it. It takes 3 triple-A batteries but can't seem to stay operational for more than about a week before needing replacements. Also, the clock is a piece of cheap plastic with seams that don't even line up correctly.

- LIST PRICE???
So by purchasing this 'amazon exclusive' item, you are somehow saving money from the list price of who may i ask? It's a little misleading to say that your saving 15% when there is only one seller.

- Exclusive???? Rip off!
Come on Amazon! No problems with any of your products, then BAM!
DO NOT BUY the "EXCLUSIVE" Fallout 3! The game is amazing but the Amazon.com "Exclusive" is not worth the extra cash!
I ordered the "Exclusive" Gears of War Lancer and saw that the Fallout 3 had an exclusive offer also! Order that one quickly! ... Read More
