Ohhh I disagree. Fallout 3's was more original (New Vegas basically copies the fallout 3 teaser) and "I don't want to set the world on fire" is a better song IMO.
I agree, it looked almost exactly the same in starting focus on something small and slowly expanding to reveal the wasteland all around the thing, and starting with a 1950s song...
I would suspect this was intentional, and it looks nice (I won't fall for the "This trailer looks better than Fo3 just because it has new-car smell" - they are both good IMHO).
I don't understand what the droid's significance is, the thing seems to be stuck in a loop doing absolutely nothing but trying to pickup sand and repeating. It doesn't look like a droid that is in control...
