The pre-order bonus for KMart is a full set of Fallout: New Vegas coasters, plus a coupon.<blockquote>Kmart is pleased to announce an exciting offer for the upcoming Obsidian masterpiece, Fallout: New Vegas. With a $5 down payment for one of the Fallout coasters below, Kmart will offer a $15 Video Game Savings coupon that will be redeemable the week Fallout: New Vegas releases. This offer begins this Sunday, August 8th! Quantities will be limited and while supplies last only! Limit one per customer.</blockquote><center></center>
EDIT: the text has been edited to say "full set of", and the Fallout twitter points out it is indeed all four coasters you receive, not a single one.
 
Those are cool coasters, but a single one? One is dumb.

Nice art.
 
Yeah, as pre-order bonuses go it is a bit barebones, but eh, it's cute.

EDIT: it's been corrected to a full set
 
Fading Blue Light Special

Fading Blue Light Special




In store special.

The local K-Mart / Sears has two score or more running feet of shelf space devoted to numerous console platforms.

Not much for PC.

The K-Mart link does not appear to feature a PC logo?

This offer for console only?:lalala:



/////////

Edit: If so, then this offer would feature a 5th "coaster", to households not benighted with Nex-Gen hardware. :drunk:

Edit 2: In site K-Mart link refers to a "battle of the platforms" which does not mention PC. :(

While I already pre-ordered two copies (one collectors for PC and one regular for PS3) from different places so I can get different things I think I will go to K-mart JUST for the coasters. For $5... it would be worth it for a addition to the collection.

I am thinking I will be visiting the store twice or having my wife go in later as well to get more than one set though.

Not really that crazy about the new Fallout... just about collecting Fallout things.

:shock: I have no doubt in my mind that you are fully aware of the fact that these coasters are almost certainly being made in a Chinese sweatshop at 2 cents a piece, yes?

I think it's one of the last amazing feats of the world of corporations: how can we sell the same thing to the same person again and again and again and again and again...?

In the history of the world complete cultures have been brought down to their knees not only with guns but just as often with shiny things which were no more than useless trinkets.

Or maybe it's the thought that a mass-produced coaster like this might fetch certainly more than twice its worth in - let's say - ten years time, when it should surely break the 5 cent barrier? At that time the game that accompanied it will be in the second hand bin for €2 or something like that. You lose in each and every way.

But yeah. Whatever, right?

Isn't everything made this way or this fashion? Burgers are 100% Angus cows (bones, brains, innards and all ground up into a thick paste formed into patties), eggs are really nothing more than chicken embryo's... unborn chicken babies making it technically abortion only worse as you are eating the unborn, cars are extremely cheaply made (now days) and the price hiked way high especially for modern cars that are more eye candy for the mechanically illiterate, the only thing where you get what your paying for is a strip club and even then you can still get ripped off (fake bre@sts, no bre@sts, or those damn strip clubs that aren't really strip clubs at all as there is NO nudity inside... you can get more from a beach).

So, while I do not plan to use them at all (I am assuming they are those cardboard style one's like they have at Chilli's so they would fall apart/deform in no time) for a measly $5 I don't mind considering you can't get them any other way than E-Bay where you will probably pay a bit more taking in shipping and the auction.

Of all the things my hard earned money goes to, overpriced electric bills, politicians I wouldn't give a second look at if I saw them dying on the side of the road, equipment for work that they should be providing their selves, and taxes taxes taxes... when looking at it in this specific way I feel this is probably the best bargain I have had all year :)

Now I'm hungry for a pasty burger from Chilli's and want to mail a nice hand painted mug from China to a politic :P Look what you've done!

:wtf: You don't seriously believe this to be true, do you?

Eggs are just that: eggs. You'll need to add some rooster sperm to make a little chicken out of that. The worst thing you could have said was that we are eating a chicken's menstruated egg. Big deal.
 
Your just eating some tasty, protein rich sh*t that can be used to feed "chicken babies", like milk, sort of...

Clive Barker made the same goof in Weaveworld. One of the characters acquires a Mother Naturely superpower and goes on to stop the other characters from eating eggs, since when she looks at the eggs she sees the chickens they'd become if only someone didn't eat them. This is why you should have your superpowers checked regularly by a professional.
 
Never heard of Weaveworld, but I've played Undying and seem some of his figures in the McFarlane stuff. I also played a demo of Jericho on the PS3, which was pretty much crap. Undying was pretty cool, but the rest of his work gives me this impression of him:

Clive Barker: Hmm.. now what I can think of that's really gory and will gross out people more than the last thing I thought of?

Heh. Modern horror writers.. or does he write stuff? I don't even know. xP

Hilarious. I'm vegan and you wouldn't believe how many other ones call them chicken babies. Ugh.
 
I like them and I'm probably going to go check them out to see what they really like, construction, etc. Aside from the $.02 argument, most coasters are crap but I don't mind paying a premium for something I like and more than likely so do the rest of you and really even though this isn't a true pre-order bonus it's way better than the true pre-order packs out there. I'd like to see an NCR t-shirt out there as a pre-order and I'd be all over it.
 
Would anyone in NMA land be kind enough to pick me one of these up and mail it to me, I'll ofcourse pay all expenses. Not a K-Mart within 200 miles of me :(

Yeah... I figured that out after I posted this. No damn K-Marts here either. :( Glad for E-bay.

I had heard a vegan I dated call them chicken embryo's.. and it's similar, kinda in a round about way, so I just say that. Regardless it's baby chick stuff :P I still eat the shit out of fried eggs, easy over with some sloppy bacon though. Dammit... getting hungry again!
