Me And My Fallout 3 Pipboy 3000 Replica (Whole) Wrist Watch

can you still buy them?

DUDE.. I so need one of those... A few of my buddies keep telling me I look like Pip-Boy and this halloween am going as Pip-Boy (complete with vault dweller jumpsuit) and one of those would be perfect!! You need to post instructions on how to make that...

Hey, I also came from your mod on that site, and read your article. The replica Pipboy 3000 seems pretty cool, and I also see room for improvement. The reason why I'm posting this is because I was wondering what you paid for it?

Thanks

I recently updated the Touch by using Jailbreak and added a Pipboy Theme to it. Even cooler.

There is clearly a market for a wifi pipboy 3000, i would pay about the same as for a gameboy ds- wich tells me bethesta is not making the money they could...

i would make it a frestanding platform with a greenscreen led screen, a arm cpu, and a minor amount of memory, but with the room for a microsd card, or maybe a flash card depending on whats cheapest, point beeing it would show you stuff like a map when you need it, a song or two, and radio. just like the pip boy, you could actually add a health monitor because it could have a stepcounter and a hartbeatmonitor, all these things dont cost the world to build in to a device, but to fallout fans it would be THE item to own.

hey, how cool would it be if they came out with a PSP case that was a pipboy 3000? you could click it onto your wrist and it would be able to do alot more than the one bethesda made....

How big is the area on the screen for that thing?

I kind of want to mod it to fit my iPod touch w/ the Fallout theme..

I WANT 1 WHERE CAN I JUST GET THE PIPBOY i bought the limited edition

COULD YOU NOT GET IT MODDED TO HAVE LESS BRIGHT LED's THATS A GOOD THING BETHASDA HAVE DONE I CURRENTLY OWN IT ON XBOX 360 AND PC BUT I PREFER IT ON PC....

Hi there,
I haven't owned it long enough to really determine its power consumption off of better batteries. I commented on your page regarding the mod you made. That is pretty cool. I am eyeing the Radio Shack across the street right now. I might need to make a visit there soon and makes some mods of my own.
But for everyone else that doesn't understand the issue, the brightness of the LEDs suck up a lot of juice.

Yes I love it, I would never consider sending it back. however even tho it is a novelty it should still work longer than a week with fresh batteries. The only design flaw that I see is the bright LEDs and the battery life. I like that is bright and I can see it clearly when I am playing in the dark. I know their is a way to keep it that bright and still get a longer life off the batteries, I just don't think they thought about it or wanted to invest in a better design.

I did end up modding it to run off AC power.

I still like it a lot, but then again, I take it for what it is. Reading about what the Fallout 3 developers initially wanted to make, you can understand what went into the Pipboy 3000 replica, and how the end version was basically just a model when they wanted it to be part of the game. It is a clock, that you can wear on your wrist as a novelty.

Like you, I use it as a clock, and for that it works just fine. Oh, and as for the batteries, same thing happened to me. It shipped with some really cheap batteries, but after I replaced those I got more juice out of them. The bright LEDs take up a lot of juice... would have liked to been able and plugged it in. Regardless, don't you just love to see the thing as it makes you smile after a long session of playing the game?

after having the clock for about a week now; how do you feel about it?

looking at mine i find that i am a bit pissed off about it. i liked that the LED was bright and a good size; perfect when playing fallout 3 in the dark at 3 am wondering if i should sleep that day.

however the battery life on it is just a few days with mine. i just wondered if it was the same with yours.
