*QUESTION!*
I am about 20 hours into Oblivion GOTY. I'm enjoying it but also finding it sort of difficult to keep on playing because it feels somewhat dated. My question for any Elder Scrolls veterans out there is should I tough it out and finish Oblivion and the expansions? Or should I cut my losses and get Skyrim (which looks amazing) and ditch Oblivion? What say you CAGs? Thanks for any advice.

Just you wait...

I would cut my losses and start Skyrim and come back to Oblivion later. Skyrim has sooooo much to do, and you don't wanna be burned out by the time you put in some serious hours. You wanna enjoy it. Pickup Skyrim and come back to Oblivion later.

I agree with this. And I am saying this as an old Elder Scrolls vet since the Daggerfall days.

The thing is that Skyrim's timeline and story is pretty far removed from Oblivion so you really aren't missing much. Also, I think Oblivion is a rather bleh game. Personally I think both the game that came before it, Morrowind, and after it, Skyrim, are better. In the case of Morrowind you need to mod the hell out of it (on the PC of course) for it to not look dated, but once you get that setup it really is quite a good game.

Skyrim you can play right out of the box and at least for now it looks quite good. Go for it.

Dropped by the Edison NJ Walmart last night and picked it up, but it rang up for $60. Didn't have time to ask them to use the hand scanner, which I'm assuming would have shown the lower price. Now I need to get the price adjusted, any good tips how to get that done quickly and efficiently?

Thanks!

My local ad shows that it's selling for $40 (page 22-23) but the online price doesn't reflect this. Show'em the ad, maybe?

I read that the sale includes the PC version, but when I look at my local ad, the sale only applies to the PS3/Xbox. No love?

Dropped by my local Wal Mart - it had plenty of copies for every version. Got myself PC version - $40 + tax. Good deal if you want to play Skyrim right away. If you can wait, then do so as price will inevitably drop pretty soon. We can realistically see $30 sales by mid spring.

Looks like a return visit is in order, LOL. Thanks. BTW when I was there last night they only had 1 copy left of the 360 version (Edison NJ) after my purchase.

Got one for $40. Am guessing the $30 was a mistake (and a nice one!).

Thanks, OP!

Waiting for the obvious GOTY version

That's also because technically the sale was only supposed to have started TODAY, but most stores were implementing the price sooner. This was listed as a 'one time only' sale in the flyer from WM today in my local paper, so chances are this isn't a price drop but a limited time sale.

So for those procrastinating on getting this now who really do want it, I would suggest getting out there sooner than later.

Oh I know it'll probably go on sale or drop another $10 someplace. Hopefully it does so BEFORE the return/PM period at BB lapses though, so I can go get MORE money back.

Now I gotta hope that Kingdoms Of Amalur drops $20-30 during that same period so I can get refunded on that too.

Can confirm this price on Long Island. Employee swore up and down that it was $60 but we made him ring it up and it showed $39.96.

Perfect timing on this sale for me since I've wanted to get this game since it came out but was waiting for price drop and it just so happened to occur on the same weekend I finished Bastion (which I got a few weeks ago on a deal of the week on XBLA).

Bastion was phenomenal! I paid $1 for it, and that was probably the best dollar I've ever spent. I picked it up during the OnLive sale.

Submit a price match to Amazon!!!

Just went and picked my copy up, in the store there was no mention of a sale, just a new price tag with the $40 dollar price. Must be a price drop.

Bought two items and Skyrim came up $30

Please for the love of god folks, buy this game now. It is literally the best game I've ever played and there is not even any announced DLC yet so who possibly knows when the GOTY edition will be released. This game is worth every penny you pay for it.

What two items did you buy and could it have been the wrong game/sticker they scanned?

He obviously bought condoms and didn't want to reveal that... now you've outed him!
