GAME PROMO ITEMS
Fallout 3 Does Them Right
By Shaun Hatton - November 21st, 2008
Here’s a neat promo item that was given away as a pre-order bonus for Fallout 3: a soundtrack sampler CD. In keeping with the games retro-futuristic look and feel, the packaging is reminiscent of old 45rpm records. The CD itself contains five songs – something I don’t believe is possible on a small 45, but I’m no expert on such things.
The sampling of in-game tunes includes the haunting “I Don’t Want to Set The World on Fire,” as performed by The Ink Spots, “Way Back Home” as performed by Bob Crosby and the almost surreal but surprisingly fitting “Butcher Pete (Part 1)” by Roy Brown. This CD sampler also includes two original tracks from the game’s musical score by composer Inon Zur.
While we’re talking Fallout 3, don’t forget to enter our contest for your chance to win your very own Vault Dweller’s Survival Guide, which is another promo piece from this excellent game.

2 responses so far:I think 7″/45 rpm records can put around 10 minutes of music per side? I know I have one by the Superfantastics (their excellent “Choose Your Destination” EP) that’s about that.
Hey Johnny! Thanks for that bit of knowledge. All the 45s I have are singles. Actually one of them only has one song on it with nothing on the other side - weird stuff!
