Here's the Fallout 4 theme you get for pre-ordering on PS4
If you'd like every moment in your PS4's home menu to be an agonizing reminder that you can't play Fallout 4 yet, then Sony has just the pre-order bonus for you. Pre-purchasing Fallout 4 on PlayStation Network in North America will let you immediately download the Fallout 4 Garage Theme, yours to stare at longingly until you can enter The Commonwealth proper on November 10.
The static theme replaces the standard colorful-wisps background with a picture of a post-apocalyptic garage in surprisingly good repair, with a half-assembled suit of Power Armor and weapons and tools carefully arranged around it. It will be a familiar image if you were following Fallout 4 back when it was first revealed (looks like Dogmeat's lost interest and wandered off since the first picture was taken).
It's a cool little wallpaper, though it may be a bit less appealing than Fallout 4's Xbox One digital pre-order incentive: a free copy of Fallout 3 for Xbox 360.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and now I'm a staff writer here at GamesRadar.
