Unboxed: Fallout 3 Survival Edition

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.

Amazon.de is listing some very interesting Editions for the near future and I’m sure we will see some of them soon in the UK and the US. Unfortunately there is no information available which content they will include. For this reason I decided to create an overview to give people a better look for what they can expect in the next few months.
I devided the news post in 2 parts. Multiplatform & PC

Multiplatform (PC, PS3 & Xbxo 360)

• A Game of Thrones: Genesis – Collector’s Edition
• Might & Magic: Heroes 6 – Collector’s Edition

Non of these Editions are in the Database yet because of the lack of information concerning the content! So this is not an overall view of coming games!
