GAME may be cancelling Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition pre-orders, just days before release.
Irate gamers are taking to Twitter to take on GAME after their pre-orders for the expensive Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition were cancelled.
The £100 bundle, which is now sold out at GAME, includes the real-life Pip Boy wearable along with a copy of the game. It was a bundle exclusive to the UK retailer.
As reported by 22 Cans’ Colin Gallacher, gamers have been directly tweeting GAME to complain that their orders have been cancelled.

However, an image uploaded to Imgur suggests that GAME’s customer service admitted issues with the pre-orders as early as June.
It’s not looking good for the retailer right now. If these pre-orders have been cancelled, it will be the third major issue GAME has had in the past few months.
Consumers who purchased the Metal Gear Solid 5 Collector’s Edition similarly found their pre-orders cancelled just days before the game’s launch.
This followed payment issues surround Super Mario Maker, where gamers were charged hundreds of pounds for the Wii U title.
