SteelBook - Fallout 76 Blu-Ray Case - Brown

It came free with Fallout 76 game. Well worth the money for the Steel Book. I highly recommend getting this item if you get it for free. It will hold any CD, not just Fallout. It has a picture on it from Fallout though so as not to confuse people who are digging through your stuff without permission. You can put the Fallout disk in it. I prefer to put some old crappy Vanilla Ice CD in it just in case someone tries to steal it. They won't get my Fallout disk. (I keep that in the Run DMC does Beethoven rimix case.) Now I have an extra case sitting around collecting dust but it was free so i will dust it off once in a while. Did I mention that it was free?

So, I received this metal case for purchasing the Tricentennial Edition of Fallout 76. A game which I bought directly from the store. A game which does not contain a disc inside the box -- just a redeemable download code), since everything is downloaded any more. So, I'm not quite sure why Bethesda thought anyone would want an empty CD case, but it excels at being just that: an empty metal case. The artwork is pretty decent, and it's solidly made. But as a perk for buying this edition of the game, I just don't get it. Maybe as sort of a collector's item?

It's a steel case. Woohoo. For a game that doesn't ship with ANY physical media. Not joking here, it's download only. The game could've been reduced to an email to you, for all that it matters. This case...it's the first (that I know of) vestigial game-case. It exists solely to BE a game case, not to actually hold a physical media representation of a game (you know, an actual game). I've actually started having philosophical quandaries regarding the nature of existing as a game case for a game that actual, in physical form, does not exist.

The steelbook is delivered separately from your purchase just as you can buy these individually at the store. The game will not be in the steelbook case. You will need to buy the game separately. Some big box collectors edition do not come with the game. Please check the description of your items. Mine was received before I received the game. Both are in separate packages. I am happy with the steelbook. I love the option to buy them separately too.

The game doesn't feel finished. The lack of NPC's beyond a few robots you meet along the way just makes the game feel unfinished. I know that was the intention, freshly tossed out into the world so soon after the bombs have dropped. Throughout the game you feel like there were communities you just missed on meeting and that is an unusual way to look at it. Constantly feeling like, oh we were just here but sorry all gone now, makes it incredibly poorly executed.

I purchased the PC version of Fallout 76 and so far so good. I don't think the game deserves all the bad publicity it has been getting but that's beside the point. I pre-ordered from Best buy to get this cool looking steel book to put my PC game disc into. Only 1 problem..... The PC version comes with a cardboard disc with a code on it so you can go online and download it. So now I have the original case and a steel book with no physical media to put in either of them.

This is a pretty nice case for Fallout 76. The complain I have about it is this... I'm old school and prefer to have a hard copy of a game. I bought Fallout 76 thinking that there would be disc inside and I could put that disc in this nice case. Well, in the case that Fallout 76 came in there was a card board disc rather than an actual disc so now that metal case seems to not really be need to hold a card board disc. Other than that, it is nice but just not needed.

I played 76 a total of 2 times since I received it as a Birthday present, due to its bad server crashing and glitches. I bought this $6 steelbook though for the game I still have because it is a beautifully made metal collector case to have in your collection, even if the game wasn’t one to fully be remembered. It’s rare to find a steal of a deal steelbook for your gaming collections like this one. High five!
