Last week an individual named Seth sent Bethesda 7.5 years' worth of bottle caps – that puts the amount somewhere around 2,240 bottle caps. Seth sent Bethesda these bottle caps in hopes of securing a pre-order for Fallout 4.
Why bottle caps? Seth wasn't sure what the exchange rate was these days for pre-war dollars to post-war dollars. Seth took his life-savings of bottle caps, packaged them up and sent them to Bethesda in the cardboard brown box you'd expect to see in the mail (with lots of clinking caps).
According to an Imgur user, Seth sent Bethesda around $62 if the exchange rate for in-game Fallout cash applied — that would make it enough bottle caps for a game.
The Global Community Lead at Bethesda, Matt Grandstaff has been met with an office that smells like beer and boxes of bottle caps. Seth's payment has been received by Bethesda, but the question remains — what will Bethesda do?

Will they A.) Give Seth a copy of the game or B.) Send him all of the bottle caps back in a new post-war safe box?
