'Fallout 4' news: Limited edition Great War shirt, Xbox One controller up for grabs

Weeks before "Fallout 4," the latest iteration of the hit role-playing video game, officially hits the shelves, Bethesda is making a slew of exciting goodies available to add to the excitement and to assist gamers in unleashing their inner fanboys and fangirls.

The first item hat went for sale was a Great War t-shirt, which will be available for purchase for $16 up until Oct. 26. The limited edition shirt is commemorative of the said nuclear event, which, in the franchise, took place on Oct. 23 in the year 2077.

Starting Oct. 20, a special Fallout 4 Vault Boy Wired Xbox One controller is for the taking. For $60, the gear, which dons a colorway inspired by Vault Boy's outfit, is compatible to both the Xbox One and the PC and comes with a 3.5mm jack for easy plug and play functions.

Today, Oct. 21, there will be a Pip Boy messenger bag up for sale. It will be so huge it can accommodate a laptop as big as 17 inches. The bag costs $68 and Bethesda bills it as "a safe, secure piece of Pre-War technology. It guarantees privacy, safety, and guidance in times of need."

On Thursday, Oct. 22, fans will be able to purchase a Vault-Tec Industries watch. There are no pricing details available yet but those who want to get their hands on at least one will have to be quick as there will only be 1500 units to be sold.

To wrap up the week, Bethesda is releasing an art book titled "The Art of Fallout 4," which features never-before-seen designs and concept art from the game and commentary from developers. The book is priced at $50.

Outside of Bethesda, other retailers also offer "Fallout 4" goodies. Best Buy, for example, is selling an exclusive "Fallout 4" Gold Edition of the game, which will not only give buyers the Xbox One or PS4 version of the game and its DLC pass but also a comfy pair of Vault-Tec socks, all for $85.

"Fallout 4" will be out Nov. 10 for PS4, Xbox One and PC.
