I remember used to use it for my gameplay when I was too damn lazy to use the pipboy in game I remember my old buddys would ask how the fuck I did that in game with out opening my pipboy
And I still haven’t seen an Iron Man/Master Chief run where someone plays the game and a friend either messes with their gear or augments the Player. I remember doing this for my uncle for a short time. Hit him with a stem pack and gave him his sword to slash up-close super mutants before switching back to the sniper rifle to take out other super mutants. I thought it was cool.
I literately just searched for the app. Its still there and is still downloadable. Also, for those that don’t know, it could pair to your fallout 4 game. It made item swapping really easy in-game.
You are by far the winner... I have sick toys from the 70s and probably had better uses of my imagination and throw away items that are just not around anymore as they are just loss to companies to pack in purchase... wish packing peanuts had a market... cheers
That companion app was incredible. Having a live mini map on your phone or your weapons pulled up on an iPad was the best thing ever. Still can’t believe no other game devs bother with doing this awesome stuff
Assassins creed unity had a companion app (I don’t think it’s still up) and for a while that was the only way to get the blue chests scattered around the map
My Bluetooth one still works fine, I actually used it as an alarm clock/regular clock/speaker for like 3 months straight. Had no idea it could be worth so much more than I bought it for. And the case is still in perfect condition, still has the packaging foam and instruction manual.
I've got collector's edition last year. The app is not on GooglePlay anymore, so I downloaded apk. (but always be careful with what do download). The Pip-boy is compatible only with smartphones from around 2015, which were smaler is size. So good, I still have my old phone from those years. I used the app only in demo mode, but it's been a lot of fun
App was definitely good fun to pair with the game. I love this controversy between people who INSIST it's on the play store when it's been verified with a Google search that the app has been removed, but for those who had it downloaded can keep the app. I did the APK on the night I posted it since e that's the only way to get it for Android now.
God i wish i could wander into a secondhand store of some kind and find one of these babies in the box. Id literally die of happiness right then and there
Had to trade mine in for a working one because it was a bricked one they sent originally. Mine still runs great and I kept all the goodies and the wrapping hahaha
I got the $1000 back when it came out for $400 i think? begged my family to all pitch in to buy that for me instead of mutiple christmas presents. It still works but the scroll does sometimes go the wrong direction. The Tin case has been my hat storage box in my closet 😬 didnt know it would be worth so much now wow
Had a non bricked, pristine case one i got for $400. First huge purchase with my first job. It was so cool man. I sold it for $900 later on when me and my wife needed bill money, and I would do it again for my family.
I remember watching e3 in Chicago at 11 pm waiting for the announcing of fallout 4 I was so excited and got fallout shelter as Soon as It came into the marketplace
Picked a gem 3 up for 600 dollars had never been turned on took the gamble and it payed off absolutely perfect condition and now sits alongside all my other pipboys
I bought two editions one collectors and another reg edition to play, ive never opened the collectors and is sitting in storage as we speak! Nice to know that it might have payed off lol.
If you have an android you can still get the app and it works , also if you have a 3d printer and 20 bicks of plastic you can download and print a replica of the pip boy that fits the phone. I made one for a convention and im so happy with it
I have both, And my BT Pipboy Still works though the main knob came loose. It's actually my second one as the first one did brick and They gave me a replacement. As for the tin, It storage Game cases and Sat on the shelf, So it's still in pretty good condition.
Got both of them, BT version is sadly bricked ... i never understood why nobody did a software update for them, it shouldn't be that big of a problem for someone capable. But i have to admit, i like the build your own Pip-Boy 2000's way better ... got several of those.
@@UrlagEntertainments oh I know they would, the company had no idea how to fix it, so they said tough luck, but I'm sure there's SOMEONE out there who knows how to fix them. They're probably out there fixing them and reselling as functional units.
The APK for the app is around the internet, I remember finding it with minimal difficulty. You need to set up your phone to allow installing of apps away from the Play Store, but you can disable that again immediately after.
I have one and I love using it for cosplay. Hooks up to my phone like a smart watch so I can play music on it. Forgot to mention that it has a holotape mechanism that holds a usb stick shapped like a holotape.
It's no longer in the marketplace due to the fact that nobody could figure out how to get it to work and those people that did figure out to get it to work they barely used it.... It was just a Pip boy that you could use on your phone that would be connecting to your character in the game as if I remember....
I just so happen to own both of these Pipboys and their original cases. Yes my Bluetooth one still works after all these years😎 But that's it only worth 1000 seems low to me
@that_fallout_guy oh nice! There is no way i could afford to get one as for now. But yeah, in the future, I'll definitely try to get some and also other cool fallout related props
Much rather have the one from the wand company with the upgradable modules, that thing is nice! There's an unassembled one for sale locally for $1200 that comes with the upgrade modules nib ready to install.
Generally speaking many things that are "bricked" arent actually bricked and just simply require some specialist knowledge or specialist tools to fix. Almost anything wrong with software is technically fixable
I had the app, no pip boy, and I would have it while my gf was playing. Essentially just fill them up with food and chems in fights without breaking the flow of gameplay . Got to hear the female chem voice lines which were all wild and hilarious
Honestly the only good thing about bethesda/obsidian fallouts is the lore and even that dont add up alot of times. But that dont matter, if its good lore👍🏼
I wish I had one of these lol, Fallout 4 is my favorite Fallout game. Not because of the story, but the setting. Wish I could get a Pip-Boy 5000 in Fallout 76.
I remember using the app when fallout 4 came out to use in game. Hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since it came out.

If you downloaded the companion app before it got taken off the appstore, you can still access it on your purchased!
And for anyone else that didn't you can easily find the APK.

Why are we acting like this was years ago. Fallout 4 came out like last year. Right… someone please say I’m right…. It was last year wasn’t it…
😂😂 I can feel your internal crisis.
I watched h20 delirious play it before I had kids, and my oldest is turning 4. It's gotta be like 6-8 years old.

Truth is the pip boy was a paperweight from the start
😂
There hasn’t been any Beth merch that wasn’t cheap and tacky. The bags; the helmet, the jacket, the pip-boy, the nuka rum. It’s all so cheap…
Aye maybe one day a tech brand will make an actual function pipboy, I'm sure a decent few people would buy it just for the love of fallout

Where did you buy it from?
@@stevenzuel6499 A company called ThinkGeek which is no longer in business.
I remember Fallout 3 coming out like it was yesterday. I was so pumped to get to play fallout in first person…man have the years flown by.
the best thing about post-apocalyptic merch is that it looks better when its not in perfect condition

@@SirLiljefors For me it's like super buggy, it will connect most of all the time. But last I tried using it, could not find a connection.
@@SirLiljeforsI think they meant as in the Pip-Boy slot only held older phones, but I could absolutely be misinterpreting.
Omfg Fallout 4 collectors edition is a Beauty
Just bought it for 200!
It’s on the Apple App Store, but I haven’t found it on the google play store
I’m glad I have both of em and it works perfectly! Just gotta find the build your own pip boy 2000 now

Shelter was good fun, I still have it downloaded, it's just been a year or so since I've played.
Love the music choice!
Yeah! The wanderer is a great song :)
I have the app still lol, that and flappy bird. The joys of just transferring files every phone and not deleting apps
I'd be happy with a box with some bumps and scrapes as long as the pip-boy functions. It gives it character.

They’re bringing back all the fallout merch with the x\s version that’s coming out
I noticed they just rereleased the anthology nuke set.
gee I love FALLOUT (TM) PIPBOY-3000(TM) THANKS ZENIMAX MEDIA (TM)
I've got the ps4 one in mint condition. Since new. Used once. Not for sale ever.
I found the companion app a while back on some sketchy website. Still worked with the game too!
I think I found it on APKMIRROR or something
My brothers roommate has a working one he keeps in the closet cause it’s way to precious to be just displayed 😂
