What I've heard is that Bethesda are releasing a collecters version of Oblivion (not a suprising move). Anyone intending to get it? I know I will, depending on price of course.

And the general sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side.

Yeah, I'm getting it, if they don't run out of stock. The price range seems to be 58.99$ - 59.99$ for the CE pc-version and 69.99$ for the CE x-box 360-version. It's around as much in euros, though I've seen the 360-version priced 74.99€.

Edit: Here are the bonuses from the CE:

Bonus Features:
Pocket Guide to the Empire - A 112 page guide to every aspect of Tamriel, including its people, provinces and much more.

Making of Oblivion Documentary - Includes a special behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of Oblivion.

Septim Gold Coin - An authentic replicated Septim, the official currency of Tamriel.

Thought to put up some images from the CE box, and my impressions so far.

Making of Oblivion Trailer. Pretty nice, for a trailer. Thinking it'll be worth watching on the making of dvd.


Packaging looks really nice imo, kinda like morrowind but more leathery book cover style... while not so important, it'll look nice on the shelf anyway. I just wonder how that pocket guide fits in there.

Septim. It looks really authentic(!) Well, as authentic as imaginery currency can. I like collecting coins (I've got a nice collection with the oldest one from 1842), and so this is a suberb addition in my opinion. Tamrielic currency is a rare thing... :D

The Pocket Guide to the Empire (Re-written & up to date, 112 pages).
I'm really interested in this one, missed out on the original book, and looking forward to reading this one, plus it'll look great on the shelf too. Visit The Imperial Library if you want to peruse the old edition, or any other book in any TES game for that matter.

I've never felt collectors editions were worth the extra cost.

I'd say a 112 book, bonus DVD, and coin is worth an extra £5 or so :).

I would say so too, yes. :)

You sure? I live in Finland and still found it for pre-order. And there's always international shipping to everywhere.
