As expected, Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition announced

Never ones to shy away from a solid Collector's Edition, Bethesda announced today that very object of your desire is now available for pre-order from your favorite game/electronic retailer.

What comes with this new-fangled edition?  I'm glad you asked, cause I have just...the...answer.

• "Lucky 7" poker chips, a set of 7 chips designed to represent the major casinos found on the strip and throughout the wasteland
• A Fallout: New Vegas playing card deck, illustrated with characters and factions from within the game universe
• A replica of a highly sought game item, the "Lucky 38" platinum chip
• Hardcover graphic novel "All Roads", a prequel of sorts, telling of a few key characters and events leading up to those in Fallout: New Vegas
• Making of DVD
• Lastly, you'll receive your very own copy of the highly anticipated game.

All in all, a solid offering, for the low, low price of $79.99.  Consider my pre-order, ordered.

Fallout New Vegas is due out for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Games for Windows (PC) later this year.
