I remember when I first noticed that Amazon.com was selling an “exclusive” Fallout 3 Survival edition. I had already pre-ordered the Collector’s Edition at my local GameStop. Pouring over the details I came to the conclusion that it was nothing more than the Collector’s Edition along with a clock shaped like a Pip-Boy. That seemed cool, however it was a whopping $50 more than the Collector’s Edition, double the price of the standard edition, which made for a damn expensive clock. It was unclear whether they were even boxed together or if you were just shipped the clock like a separate pre-order bonus. I decided to pass because I didn’t need a $50 clock, though I came to regret that decision.
