Got mine from Amazon, already been dispatched, should be here tomorrow.
Not that I wanted the book, just a physical copy of the game.

Robbaz got his PC version early, probably a review pass or the like, I've only watched the first ten minutes which are more or less spoiler free, the rest I'll watch when I've played the game for a bit:
On top of that, loot has been punched up in a very Diablo-style way: even better than the typical spoils of battle and foraging, every so often you’ll come across a Legendary enemy who will drop a uniquely named special weapon or item with a modifier. You might get a pistol that refreshes your action points when executing a critical hit, an arm piece that makes lockpicking easier, a flamethrower that deals extra radiation damage, or any of dozens of others.
... I have no words to express how much this feature excites me. I'll use a gif instead
I've ALWAYS loved finding unique weapons, my favorite will always be Lincoln's Repeater, but damn, literally "rare mobs"?!

They seriously are too stupid to make good menus. I'm playing on a huge TV screen not a calculator!
Expecting a mod fix in a few days.
Other than that, it feels a lot like a mix between FO3 and NV. Gameplay is rather smooth, graphics are okay as in average for today's standards. Really good atmosphere. Encountered a few bugs, namely malfunctioning AI (running into walls), weapon not reloading (fixed by reloading the game), 2 random crashes in about 1.5 hours, a few missing or "mushy" textures. Not too bad for a Bethesda game. No verdict so far, 1.5 hours is nothing in a FO game. It still feels like a modern FO game and I am super hyped to start exploring another wasteland. Goddamn work. I'll get back to it asap. Looks very, very promising. Heard about the building part being extremely badly designed and buggy with lots of clipping errors.

Mine is labeled "shipping today". Really hoping it shows up on time, since I'm taking a portion of the week off (for unrelated reasons, honestly) and I'd like something to keep me occupied.

My tracking has it in state, so I should have it tomorrow morning. I'm just bummed cause our mail tends to get here right when I have to leave for an appointment...
Oh dear, I am so heading to bed early today so I can rise and shine 2-3 hours earlier than usual tomorrow. I AM getting my Fallout fix before work. Again, I have no idea who decided it was a good idea to release this game on a Monday - Tuesday but screw him! D:

They change your IP address so that you appear to be somewhere else, the US for example. They work with Steam although are against Steam's terms of service.

Ah okay, I hate it when we slip into acronym hell.
And nope, not gonna do it. I'll wait instead of risking it, playing something a few hours earlier is not worth it for me.

Professional VPN are undetectable. Our entire internet connection is routed through a VPN.
Anyway, in regards to FO4: keeps being very promising. Not much more gametime in, but feels good. Ran into some weird clipping errors but that's okay, nothing gamebreaking. Weapons feel very same-ish, but that's always been a FO staple.
Mine is downloading as I type.
With my shonky internet it'll be about 7hrs before it's ready, so I'll play it tomorrow.
Really looking forward to it.

That was the most beautiful haiku I've read in a long time.
