Sell it? wash your mouth out with soap !
Whether it's selling or not on the auction site that's what is being charged for it.
I have every other box set (inc two Fallout 3 box sets) for all of the other games apart from the original pip boy edition (because just the clock alone sells for around $600) and the new mini nuke one because it's huge and you can't get it in the UK.
Believe me I used to think my mate was a complete idiot when I used to go to his house and see collector's editions all around his room. He has hundreds of the things.
But something in Fallout made me want to buy the tat. Yes, I'm aware it's tat but man it makes me so happy. Every time I look at my lunch box I smile. Every time I look at my BOS statue it brings back memories of being taught to use power armor. And those were moments that were sheer magic.
So yeah, basically if Bethesda made a plastic turd I would want it.
As for pre ordering? if I believe a game is worthy of it then I will quite happily pre order it. I've pre ordered a few games now, but only games that have proven themselves to be excellent already.
Bethesda have had a few quid out of me now. When I originally bought the lunch box edition I could only get it for PS3 so I bought it and then replaced the game with the PC version (two copies). Then I bought the BOS edition again for the PS3 and then bought the GOTY edition to go with that as well as buying a few of the DLC separately.
And do you know what? I would quite happily hand them £500 for this game. Mostly because of their talents for making this sort of game it actually feels like they made it just for me.
So yes, basically I feel that companies who make games that you enjoy deserve to be rewarded because they are a dying breed. Thank god for Bethesda, or all we'd have is Battlefield clones and COD.
I also pay for all of my games, BTW. I have a huge backlog of games going all the way back to 1996 including nearly every Sega PC title (Daytona, Sega Rally, House of the dead and so on) and every valve game ever released.
