Game sucks. Helmet is cool. Bag is worthless as it’s not canvas. Buyers remorse.

At release the game has a massive amount of bugs and glitches. As for the CE items, the bag was advertised as canvas but is actually cheap plastic. The helmet is average at best, the battery cover will break for sure, it’s very flimsy. The best part is the steelbook.

A Horrid Collector's edition for a flawed game.

I am a huge fan of the Fallout series, and ordered this as soon as it was available.
For starters, it came with a NYLON bag, although they market a canvas bag with it, and said nylon is very cheap in quality.
The game itself, I have played for well over 50 hours, and in that time, I have had items randomly disappear from my inventory, game become unresponsive, and a total of 16 crashes that ended the program immediately.
The idea of the game is good, but they released more of a demo riddled with bugs, than a finished product.
In no way would I recommend this game to anyone looking for a stable game to play.

This game has plenty of bugs at the moment I wont' lie. That being said there is plenty about this game that I am having fun with. If you are a HUGE fan of Fallout I would still recommend this game especially seeing the price drops. I'm sure Bethesda will flesh out most of the bugs soon. It's not "unplayable" as the internet would have you believe but it does have many issues. Buy this with it in mind that it's basically a beta as of now or just pass.

This collectors edition is a dream come true! I know people always find a way to complain about everything but unlike them I truly love it!
I know exactly what I am buying and I know canvasgate was a huge deal when it originally came out but today I’m aware it’s nylon and that the Power Armor is Insanly well done and the game is fully patched and with new content making it one hella good game!
The plastic figures that come with it look nice, not really going to open since I won’t be displaying any time soon and the Map is beautifully detailed and illustrated!
The metal case for the actual game is beautiful love the colors and art inside and out, it truly feels and looks like a collectors edition!
The helmet well what can I say I love the thing, fits perfectly the paint job is incredible and attention to detail is amazing, the only thing I can say I don’t like is the voice changer, like most it doesn’t really sound that good but hey it still is an amazing collector item and I can’t be happier with it!

Gamer review sites have overblown the “issues” with the game. Besides some framerate issues and a few crashes the game has run fine for me. The canvas bag that comes with this $200 set is in fact nylon and descriptions are misleading.

The collectors edition does not come as advertised Bethesda did a last minute budget cut to the bag shown in the picture. When your paying $200. I'd expect to receive what was advertised, don't get me started on the lifeless gameplay

Poor Collector’s Edition

Power armor helmet looks good but the light barely illuminates and it’s hard to see through it especially when the lens fogs up because of you breathing. The voice changer barely works. The canvas bag advertised is not a canvas bag at all. It’s a nylon bag. The map and figures are alright. The steelbook that came free with my order from Best Buy looked better than the one with the collectors edition. The game itself is not ready yet unfortunately and if you think you’re getting the same fallout experience as before, that is not the case. Wait for a price drop if you really want it.

As soon as you go to the main menu it right away asks you for a 6hr update..was a bit disheartened by that. But i was m9re than in love with the helmet. So not a big loss.

Save your caps/atoms. The bag is cheaply made and the helmet feels brittle. On top of that the game is broken.

This is one of the coolest collector's editions ever with a real life helmet that can be worn and has a type of voice modulator device inside that changes the sound of your voice when speaking. It also has a working headlamp, though dim. You can see out of it and it's surprisingly not uncomfortable to wear for a short span of time. The glow in the dark world map and figurines are nice too.
However, the bag it came is is disappointing at best. Was supposed to be canvas material but was changed over to some kind of polyester fabric without notifying users. What a sham and a shame!! The game by the way is extremely boring and buggy. What a huge let down for a rather great series.

It’s a decent enough helmet and other bonus items, but the game is in a sad state currently. Wait for updates...or Fallout 5.

As a fan of Fallout 3 and 4, as well as Skyrim, I was looking forward to another great (or even good) time playing in the world of Fallout. However, Fallout 76 is simply boring, buggy and too much of a departure from the world I enjoyed playing in. As for the deluxe edition, the Power Armor helmet is terrific, but the advertised canvas bag advertised in the item description, it's a low-quality nylon bag.

Overall items I'm somwhat satisfied.
The only thing i really don't like is the bag. Very thin and can easily rip apart.
Paid $180 include tax. But should be worth with tax $150. I still recommend but if rhey lower that price

So, listen, I totally get why some people hate on this game. If your concept of a Fallout game is highly dependent on the dialog tree and storylines, you'll be disappointed in this game. If you like the exploring, questing, and hoarding stuff, this game will suit you just fine. I find myself sucked into it at the moment.
As for the power armor edition itself, I'm kinda impressed with the helmet compared to my expectations. The whole thing around the bag not being the canvas as advertised sucks, but I never paid attention to that aspect in the first place, so didn't even realize it was different until I saw the news.
