Fallout New Vegas: Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide Comparisons
Upon first glance, these two editions of the strategy guides for Fallout New Vegas don’t appear to be that much different aside from their covers. When you look at the specs from Amazon, they don’t seem that different either. Both are over 400 pages–which, by the way, is massive for a strategy guide–both have ginormous tear-out posters of the maps, but the Collector’s Edition sports what every Collector’s Edition should sport in addition to the classy and stylish hard cover: 32 bonus pages for Fallout fans.

Amazon doesn’t go into great detail about what is within these 32 pages, but concept art and behind-the-scenes materials from the devs are part of the package. And honestly, there could easily be 32 pages of just that, and that’s all well worth the $10 extra.
Be sure to look for our review of the Fallout New Vegas guide in this next week!
