That was a shocker for me, I didn't even need to do anything fancy to get them working. Every so often I will boot them up again just to make sure they actually do work so well and I wasn't just dreaming it. Fallout 1 and 2 actually work flawlessly for me on Vista.

Fallout 1 and 2 work perfectly for me on XP. If you are using inferior Vista then it is your fault so don't complain. I would kill to have big fat Fallout Bible added to collector's edition. @Zed.

I don't want useless figurines and lunchboxes. Other things I want: making-of/cinematic DVDs (I'd rather have developer commentary in the game, but I'll settle for this.), soundtracks, strategy guides, previous games in the series (especially if remastered), related novels/comics/movies/etc, in-game content (of a largely cosmetic nature, otherwise it's kind of a slap in the face for people who couldn't come by the CE in time), related game content such as the City of Heroes HeroClix miniatures in the City of Villains CE or the WoW TCG stuff in Burning Crusade's CE (it did have such things, right?). Other things I don't want: pretty much anything that takes up space for no apparent reason. Things like posters and standees and bags full of faux gold coins.

PLayed through them both again recently. Fucking awesome. If you go to the NMA forums it’s already possible to download a very small patch or two to get the original games working fine on Vista.

I mean, I'm already *interested*, but want them to impress me. Get Fallout 1 & 2 working on modern systems, and include them on a DVD in the box. That would be a " <b>F*** YES!</b> " Pfft.

What exactly would most of us expect from Collector's Editions? Me, it makes me feel like a kid again flicking through the glossy pages of concept art books and having a little figurine to put next to my monitor. I love that stuff. I remember I only bought the Half Life II collector's edition because the price had been reduced. Although I liked the t-shirt that came with it, whoever had made up the box certainly knew their target audience; it was in fat nerd size, preventing me from wearing it outside the house since it hung loosely almost down to my knees.
