| “ | That thing on your wrist - it's a convenience. It tells you where to go, what to do, dulls your brain. It may have helped you find the Sierra Madre broadcast, but it's just as much a crutch today as it was in the Old World.

The device is modeled after the Pip-Boy 3000 series produced by the fictional RobCo Industries in the video game series Template:W.
When equipped, the Pip-Boy features a revised PDA HUD to match the looks of the device.
A Genuine Pip-Boy was awarded to all players who owned Fallout: New Vegas before August 8th, 2011.
