Kain The Undead sends us this lovely little shot of the Fallout 3 pre-order bonus that comes inside the special hope-crushing fake video game boxes the store likes to put on their shelves to make our heart-skip until we realize it's only a pre-order package.

I work at best buy and i thought you guys might like to know that BB has started doing pre-orders for Fallout 3 and the collectors edition. In the game case you get when you pre-order is a Nuke cola bottle opener. It has a magnet on the back so it can be stuck on your fridge. Maybe not as sweet as a hand puppet, but it's something else that all us Fallout freaks will love!

Do folks actually pre-order games from Best Buy retail locations, or do they just put down some cash to pick up limited-edition bottle openers and pick the games up somewhere else?
