Who wants to hear a story of frustration?
I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition and it arrived a day before the release date! Fantastic, so I put the game into my laptop, fired it up and guess what? Steam has a message saying "you can't install the game as it hasn't been released yet"

So what did I do? I sat tight and read the hardback book that came with the game, which was awesome. I also watched the entire "Making of Fallout: New Vegas" DVD.
So now I'm sitting up at 2AM (UK) pretty much ready to play it

For those of you laughing at the bugs, I have the PC version which has already been patched! If you're on a console, the patch is coming soon, don't worry!
