A few weeks back, we invited folks to our Bethesda Gamers' Day events both in the US and Europe. Within this newsletter, you can find new previews and interviews for Hunted: The Demon's Forge, Brink, RAGE, and Fallout: New Vegas. To keep up-to-date on the latest coverage, stay tuned to Bethesda Blog.

In addition to the Gamers' Day coverage, keep reading for news on the Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition, and the latest news on Bethesda Blog.

This week we unveiled the Fallout®: New Vegas™ collector's edition (CE) for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows. The limited collector's edition is now available for pre-order in North America. The Collector's Edition will be available for pre-order in Europe soon.

In addition to including the highly anticipated game, this premium version of Fallout: New Vegas also includes the game-inspired items below:

♠ "Lucky 7" poker chips. Each of the seven poker chips was designed to represent chips from the major casinos found on the New Vegas strip and throughout the Mojave Wasteland.

♠ A fully customized Fallout: New Vegas deck of cards. Each card in the pack has been uniquely illustrated to depict characters and factions found within the game. Use the cards to play poker, blackjack or Caravan, an original card game that was created by Obsidian especially for New Vegas!

♠ A recreation of the game's highly coveted "Lucky 38" platinum chip.

♠ A hardcover graphic novel "All Roads", that tells the story of some of the characters and events that lead up to Fallout: New Vegas. "All Roads" was written by Chris Avellone, the game's creative director, and created in conjunction with Dark Horse Comics.

♠ 'The Making of Fallout: New Vegas' DVD. This documentary DVD will contain exclusive video content, including interviews with the developers in which they take you from concept to creation and discuss topics such as story, setting, legacy of the Fallout franchise and more.
