Gameplayer has the Fallout Week day Three feature online, and yet again it’s a copy/paste from the old 360 magazine that was released in March.
It provides some Fallout background, but for that you’ll be better served reading TheVault or heading to the fansites like NMA.

There’s a new piece by Ryan M. Milner at Online Fandom, dwelling into the relation between Fallout fans and developers:
I think there’s something Bethesda, and producers of media texts in general, can learn from these observations. The Fallout fanbase (at least the majority of the vocal fanbase) has been wary of Bethesda’s handling [...]

Then yesterday they placed an article online, supposedly new, that had already appeared on 360 magazine in March.

They were bunched in with the other shirts and merchandise which are legitimately for sale, and all marked up together, and I never went back to adjust it. That was an oversight on my part. As for the copyright, [...]

Ok this material showed up on CafePress for sale, it’s Fallout 3 “inspired” as you can see. We’ll see what Bethsoft will do about that.
