Fallout: New Vegas Collector’s Edition revealed (Update)

Looking to one-up its own Fallout 3 Collector’s Edition, Bethesda has announced that it will be shipping a Fallout: New Vegas Collector’s Edition for all platforms in North America.

In the words of Bethesda, the slick packaging will include:

• Lucky 7 poker chips. Each of the seven poker chips was designed to represent chips from the major casinos found on the New Vegas strip and throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
• A fully customized Fallout: New Vegas deck of cards. Each card in the pack has been uniquely illustrated to depict characters and factions found within the game. Use the cards to play poker, blackjack or Caravan, an original card game that was created by Obsidian especially for New Vegas!
• A recreation of the game’s highly coveted “Lucky 38” platinum chip. 
• A hardcover graphic novel “All Roads,” that tells the story of some of the characters and events that lead up to Fallout: New Vegas. “All Roads” was written by Chris Avellone, the game’s creative director, and created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics.
• The Making of Fallout: New Vegas DVD. This documentary DVD will contain exclusive video content, including interviews with the developers in which they take you from concept to creation and discuss topics such as story, setting, legacy of the Fallout franchise and more.

Parts of the “Making of” documentary were filmed by a crew led by Electric Playground’s Victor Lucas at last month’s Bethesda press event in Las Vegas; keep an eye out for the back of my head or something.

No word on pricing or firm release date for Fallout: New Vegas, outside of the vague Fall 2010 release.

[Update: GameStop is listing the package’s price as $69.99 for PC, and $79.99 for PlayStation 3 for Xbox 360; Bethesda has confirmed this pricing with us this morning. Thanks, Dyslixec!]
