Kicking off again. One of our commenters has noticed that you can pre-order Fallout 4 from the Bethesda store for $US60. In return, you get a 20% off voucher for the Bethesda store. Seems like a good deal to me.
You can also Pre-order Fallout 4 and Vault 111 shirts on the Beth store. Agent c (talk)
Vault 17 recons this is just near Fenway Agent c (talk)
Vault17 recons this is Fenway Park, is this the ultimate fate of the "Green Monster"? Agent c (talk)
Kotaku are pointing out that not only does the video seem to confirm a voiced antagonist as their leak said it would, but the protagonist looks just like what they said it would. Does this confirm the PC has been in Cryo-Stasis? Read for yourself and decide. Agent c (talk)
The official site is currently overloaded with traffic, we recommend you watch the youtube video below.

Watchers may notice the PC at the end of the clip talks to the dog, suggesting some of the Kotaku leak may be trueAgent c (talk)
Embedding the private video releases a still!
The comments have shown us that the still includes "Scollay SQ" as in Scollay Square located in Boston. Thank you FlyTaggart90!
Peace has pointed out that the images are actually hosted on the Bethsoft.com server Agent c (talk)
Fallout4.com now redirecting to "Site not found" at dreamhosts - http://content.bethsoft.com/bsw_cms_asset/46892_8_1.jpg its real? Agent c (talk)
In response to us tweeting at him for confirmation, Pete has tweeted back the countdown. Agent c (talk)
Begining to suspect its a hoax. The preorder links for the UK list game and amazon. These in turn link to Game in Span, and amazon.com (not .co.uk) Agent c (talk)
There is a video on the fallout4.com site but its listed as private Agent c (talk)
I can confirm that the WHOIS information correctly lists Zenimax as the owner, and the registrant is CSC Corporate domains, consistent with Bethsoft.com; this appears to be real. HOWEVER the admin email is domain.manager.dc@DLApiper.com - a law firm. This email address is inconsistent with Bethsoft.com which has Dnsadmin04@zenimax.com Agent c (talk)

We're still standing by as excitement continues to build.... What are you hoping to see? Are the mentions of the Instutute, simulation or 1898 in the official site code worth anything, or are they just way out of context? Is this for Fallout 4, or is it just a Deathclaw Plushie? What do you think? Agent c (talk)
Its just 2 hours to the big reveal now. We'll update this blog throughout the day with news as it breaks. Please stay tuned. Agent c (talk)
