Bethesda, the studio behind <i>Fallout<\/i>, capitalised on this by announcing a Collector\u2019s Edition which includes, among other things, a real life version of the game\u2019s Pip-Boy device.<\/p>\n<p>Like a giant retro version of the Apple Watch, the Pip-Boy sits on your wrist and connects with your smartphone so you can interact with the game using a dedicated app.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, you\u2019re out of luck if you want one.
