Whilst the Pip-Boy collector's edition of Fallout 4 seemed like a big gimmick for a lot of gamers, it clearly is no joke to any Fallout fans out there. In fact, there will be no more Pip-Boy editions available for sale because they've all sold out.
Some rumors have circulated that Bethesda has purposely artificially limited the stock of the Fallout 4 collector's edition but Bethesda has opened up about the Pip-Boy and the truth is actually completely the opposite from this.
Despite Bethesda trying to increase production of the Pip-Boy as much as possible, the Fallout 4 Collector's Edition still sold out and Bethesda can no longer get hold of any more. In an interview with Gamespot, Bethesda's Pete Hines explained that, "We reached a point where we'd go back to the factories and they were like, 'guys, this is it, sorry.'"
When talking about keeping in touch with the factories responsible for production of the Pip-Boy, Hines mentioned, "We'd go back and say 'Demand for

Bethesda has recently released a brand new blog detailing a few things about the wearable Pip-Boy that will be coming with the Fallout 4 Special Edition.
In the blog post, Bethesda mentions that the Fallout 4 Special Edition units had all been sold out in North America, meaning that anybody in the region would not be able to purchase a special edition.
Bethesda did not confirm that other regions had sold out of the special edition as well, but they did suggest that stock is most likely very low worldwide. Here's a snippet from the blog post:
"Our North American quantities for the Pip-Boy Edition are sold out. We are still working out details on final inventory for European territories and expect to have information early next week. As we receive new information, we'll update in real-time on our Twitter account, @bethblog."
Further on in the blog post, Bethesda has also revealed that the Pip-Boy will not support all smartphones. Whilst the majority

After years worth of rumors and false information spreading across the internet about a new Fallout game, we may finally be hearing something official from Bethesda themselves. On Monday, some Fallout fans noticed that the official Fallout website design has changed.
The previous content on the Fallout website has been replaced with a large countdown timer that will end at some time tomorrow. As you can imagine, there's definitely going to be some kind of Fallout related announcement tomorrow and it it's very likely that it could be to do with a brand new Fallout game.
Considering that E3 is just around the corner it'd make perfect sense for Bethesda to announce a brand new game to grow hype ahead of the onslaught of other video games that are bound to be announced at E3.
Unfortunately we still have no idea about what the next Fallout game will be like and Bethesda has done an incredible job to keep everything hidden from their fans. Once the countdown timer is over,

Recently, Bethesda has revealed plans to hold a press conference at E3 in June, and by the sounds of it, it's going to be pretty big. But what could Bethesda be planning at their upcoming conference?
The first conclusion that many people will jump to is the announcement of Fallout 4. Yes, this could be a possibility, and considering all of the hype surrounding the rumored game so far, it would make sense.
The strange thing is that no matter how large a game Bethesda has announced, we've never seen a press conference as large as Bethesda is making their upcoming E3 conference to be.
Whilst it is planned for E3, the actual conference will be happening a few days before all of the chaos of the gaming show. The event will take place on a Sunday, on June 14th.
Before we straight up say it's most likely to be a Fallout 4 announcement, let's take a look at a few other things Bethesda could potentially show off. Firstly, the Doom reboot we've all been expecting for a

Last week the internet was taken by storm by the new survivor2299 website- a place that claimed to be some kind of hint at a new Fallout 4 game. Since Bethesda didn't make any comment on whether the website was official or not, a lot of Fallout fans jumped to the belief that the website was the real deal.
However, this week the creator of the website revealed on Reddit that the Survivor2299 website was in fact a hoax under his username DCHoaxer. He also said that he spent close to $900 on 15TB worth of hosting costs and the phone number he used on the website.
It was revealed that he did this to try and force Bethesda to make a real announcement about Fallout 4 in time for the Spike VGX.
Unfortunately this was not the case, but it did force them to come out and say that the website was indeed fake. It's surprising that it took them this long to respond to all of the internet chatter about the website, but perhaps it's because they are too busy working on other projects.

If Fallout 4 doesn't ever make it to reality, I think we are all going to be severely disappointed. The game's series really took a great turn with Fallout 3, and since then I've always considered Bethesda one of the greatest games developers of all time, simply for the fact that they are always ambitious when tackling huge tasks like Fallout or the Elder Scrolls.
We've all been anxiously awaiting a confirmation from Bethesda about Fallout 4 - A simple yes or no at this point would be nice, but since we haven't had that yet, we've resorted to scouring the internet for anything that could resemble a confirmation that Fallout 4 is actually coming.
A new result of such internet scouring has led to the discovery of the website - thesurvivor2299.com
The website contains morse code, cryptic text and a countdown. Unfortunately there's no confirmation on whether this is actually from Bethesda or from a Fallout fan with a little too

Bethesda has recently announced the new Wolfenstein: The New Order, a FPS game following in the series that has been slated for a late 2013 release for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC and next-gen consoles.
Players will play as B.J. Blazkowicz, the war hero well known to the series, who has set out to launch an "impossible counter offensive" against the Nazi powers whom have taken control of the world.
The game is set in 1960 and takes place in Europe, after the Nazis have won World War 2. Bethesda has said that players will be able to use "super weapons" and other utilities that the Nazi's used in Wolfenstein to take over the world.
A trailer was released along with the announcement and shows the innards of a huge war machine and then scrolls out to show multiple machines that look capable of stomping a stomping a tank to pieces.
The game is being developed by Machine Games and published by Bethesda, although the previous two games were developed by Gray Matter

Product listings for the Skyrim Legendary package have occasionally been spotted on unknown retailers from across the world, but since we haven't seen any product listings from more reputable retailers, it's been hard to believe the rumors of the Skyrim Legendary edition actually being a real thing. However, Bethesda on their bethblog has just recently announced that yes, the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition is a real thing, and it will include a lot of the features that Bethesda has been working on since the original version's release.
The Elder Scrolls Skyrim Legendary Editions will cost $60 for Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3, and will get you the full Skyrim game, Dawnguard, Hearthfire and the Dragonborn DLC packs, as well as every added feature from patches and other extra features that Skyrim has also added such as more player housing features.
Some of the features that have been added through patches that ring a bell for most gamers is the addition of the Legendary

Skyrim 1.9 Patch
Skyrim is a big game, but because of the vastness of the content within the game, it can be hard to make sure all of the game is perfect before release, and Bethesda has been working hard to fix any bugs or glitches that ruin the gameplay experience since the launch of the title back in 2011.
Although some are just fixes to improve performance, the total 79 fixes include bugs and glitches that give players advantages over the game.
One in particular is the Oghma Infinitum glitch that is possible to exploit after completing the Discerning the Transmudane quest, which got your character exploring the land to collect the blood of various different species across the world,

Dragonborn - Skyrim DLC
Although rumors are usually close to the truth when it comes to gaming, it quite often means nothing until the developer behind the game states that it's true. In this case, Skyrim Dragonborn has now been officially announced by Bethesda with a new trailer depicting the new downloadable content in action.
A narrative plays over the action in the trailer, giving us hints that there is another Dragonborn other than you as the main protagonist. In the trailer, the other Dragonborn doesn't sound too happy to hear that he isn’t the only Dragonborn anymore, so expect interesting battle scenes against this new
