The pip boy is pretty cool, just not really worth the extra cash for it. Sort of like the Halo helmet, it's neat to have for a couple days but then it'll just sit there...
Oh yeah, either the batteries died out on my pip boy (within a week of getting it) or it broke. So it's not really reliable as a clock either.
So unless you really are a huge fan of Fallout I wouldn't really get it unless you can snag it for cheap.
Hey i live in boston, i got it today actually from someone that i deliver to, but how are you getting yours it drops friday, and how are others getting theres so early, i thought i was the only one that had it so far haha
