That's a different case. You're not pre-ordering just the game. You buying a special edition, limited quantity physical good (the Pipboy).
I knowm the limited number of Pipboys are a case of artificial scarcity, but I'm OK with that. I paid premium for numbered special editions of Termintor and Akira instead of just buying the regular items, there is a certain apeal in having a product that gives you bragging rights. We're humans after all.
It's completelly different when it's a pure digital purchase. Even if they offer an extra skin or a time-limited XP boost. I don't feel like those perks gives me the same satisfaction as a real, rare, object would.
