Gaze upon the glory of the improved Pipboy: Deluxe Bluetooth Edition

If you’re an aficionado of all things related to Fallout, you’ll be aware that there was a mock-up of a Pipboy that came bundled with a limited edition version of Fallout 4. Sure, it looked great but it wasn’t particularly well made seeing as it was little more than an elaborate phone dock with a lot of knobs and buttons. It still looked great though.

Now, with E3 around the corner, ThinkGeek has announced a new, officially licensed take on the PipBoy that ditches the onerous phone docking mechanism of the original as it comes with a proper display up front that pairs up via Bluetooth to your phone or slate so you can make and take calls, texts and the like. Charging the PipBoy is simply a matter of docking it to the Robco Industries stand that also acts as a speaker dock when the PipBoy sits on it. The inside comes with foam padding for comfortable long-term wear and most of the dials on it, acccording to ThinkGeek, work in some fashion to navigate the interface; the PipBoy is still a prototype with some kinks to work out.

The whole package also ships with a USB drive, presumably with game specific content and everything is bundled in a fetching Vault 111 case. The price for this magnificent example of gaming geekdom? Oh, a mere US$349 and it’ll ship in November this year. Still undeterred? Swing by here to make your order now.
