This honestly might be the best DOTD ever. A better one does not come to mind.

[Kromis]

33% off! Cool!

[somahead33]

That is a real good deal. Those who do not own the game should definately jump on this.

[Karyyk]

This would be a great deal...if the GotY Editions weren't out. Not bad, though I doubt I'll bite. Maybe if it was the 360 version...

[thirtytwoutside]

If it was the 360 version, I'd be all over this. I've been meaning to get this for a while.

[icedout297]

I'd definitely bite if the GotY edition wasn't coming out soon. Regardless, great deal for someone who doesn't want the expansion pack.

it isnt that bad as the PS3 version already got Knights of Nine. You are really only missing shivering isles.

Think an 11 year old can play this game without any fuss?

Or is there some Xbox huge learning curve?

I think so. This was a decently easy RPG. There is arrows and guidepoints so you won't get lost, too.

[Kerig]

Agreed: this is the best DOTD to date.

FYI: Wombat has mentioned about 7 times that he prefers Oblivion on the PS3.

[PrinnyOtaku]

It's pretty much identical now since Beth. issued the software updates. I would get it but... yeah, I already have it. Nice deal though.

[Scorch]

I kept having audio problems with the PS3 version. Other than that, it seemed identical to the 360 version. I was hoping it'd install itself to my HD to cut back on loading times, but nope.

What are you talking about? The game (original version don't know about the new GOTY ones for the 360/PS3) does install itself to the HDD and the loading times are shorter than the 360 version. The game also has less pop-up and stutter loading during in game play as you roam across the country. It's not a mindblowing difference, but it's a difference none the less.


FYI this is a great deal for anyone who was thinking about buying it. The main thing it doesn't have that anyone would care for is Shivering Isles, and Bestheda has stated that SI will be coming to the PS3 either as a extra standalone disk or on the PSN (or maybe both?) for those who have the original Oblivion. At $19.99, even if they charge the asinine $29.99 for the SI expansion, it's still less than the price of the GOTY edition.



Also, FYI great price, but don't over blow it, the original Oblivion is $29.99 everywhere now for both the 360 and PS3. Still a nice $10 save on a great game.

tempting...

I didn't notice shorter load times. Does it install itself to the HDD automatically or do you have to set it to?

[cochesecochese]

I just motherfucking opened this. Amazon, you slay me.

buy from Amazon and return the one from them with the other one you opened, assuming you paid $30 for it at a store.

[crunchb3rry]

Wow, a relatively new game going for less than the new generation's "bargain bin" price is insane. If I didn't have it for the 360, along with all the DLC, I'd buy this in a heartbeat. Only pisser is you need to pick something else up to get the free shipping.

[AlphakirA]

Finally a DotD worth buying :-D

[coolz481]

Thanks for posting! If you're looking for some sale-priced games to get you to free shipping, Fight Night PS3 is $26 and MLB The Show is $35. I went with Fight Night - two excellent games for $46 shipped.

[SmellsLikeRandyMossGuy]

Not the Best Ever DOTD, but it's a great deal for those who don't own the game.

[panasonic]

amazon prime and oblivion = tasty

[chrisnsally]

Still one of the best values I can think of...over 200 hours of gameplay, before the expansions. I chalked up over 70 hours, a friend of mine over 100. And no, it didn't get boring or repetitive.

God, now that I read that...70 hours...I'm a bit depressed....wow.

[eastx]

I really don't think Oblivion installs itself to the hard drive. I remember reading that they filled the disc up with duplicate data in order to reduce load times.

That more people havent figured this out is beyond me... Ive dont it on more than one occasion... all you need to do is keep all receipts for everything

[AwRy108]

Holy crap is that an awesome deal! I paid full price for this game, and it was well worth it!

[crewj]

ha! i purchased this from the b2g1 free sale at tru...

[argyle]

Hrmmm...didn't know they were going to release Shivering Isles stand-alone for the PS3. I may have to pick this back up, I traded mine off when the GOTY was announced.

[Edge]

Not something I'll be buying since I don't have a PS3 yet and prefer the PC version, but a good DotD in any case. If you don't have any other version of the game (especially if your PC isn't up to snuff), it's well worth picking this one up since it probably won't be this cheap again for a while.
