I cannot wait until it comes out, I think it is coming out in about a month! I almost pissed my pants when I saw the radiant AI demo. It looks awesome!!! I am getting it for Xbox 360 though, so I am not tempted to cheat. :P

You mean 11? Xbox 360 doesn't come out until the 22nd? Or is it coming out earlier for the computer?

Ohh.. My dad has a friend that works in Toys R Us and his friend said that he heard Xbox 360's will be going for like $500-$700 because they are selling like 6 games with them. :\

More like "They'll be going for $500-$700 because Microsoft is a money-hungry company that makes crappy crap, etc. etc."

The funny part about that comments is the fact that they don't. They just make the software.

Thought you made me look dumb there, you cheeky little monkey, didn't you?

Nope. I preordered from amazon thinking it would be out this month. However it seems the game got delayed and Amazon says it won't ship until April of next year. I checked the Bethesda forums and they did indeed say it was going to be pushed back to early next year however no date was given. Though I suggest you get the PC version and give yourself some self control :P. Will most likely like before be much easier to mod on PC with much less restraints than on the XBox 360 and will run much better when you go back to play it with computers half a decade from now decked out with all sorts of cool mods.

I don't really have the best gaming computer in the world, though. I could do what I did with Morrowind -- buy for PC and Xbox 360(when I get it), but I ended up getting Morrowind and Morrowind GOTY for xbox at Christmas >_>.

Edit:
April??? *sits in a corner*

However hopefully it won't be your last computer :). Most of Bethesda's games don't run nice anyway until several years after they are released.

Yeah, but I don't think we will be getting a new computer anytime soon. I prefer playing them on consoles if possible, because to me, they run smoother and there isn't much lag unless the disc is messed up somehow.

More like, they'll be going for the prices that were originally stated (unless it has actually gone up since then). The $500-$700 Bundle packs are always offered by Toys-r-us, Amazon, and the like and include a number of games with them (Amazon/Toys-r-us has the pictures shown as including 8 games, which at ~$50 a piece thats an extra $400 in games, so you get about 2 games free if $500-700 are the prices of the setups with an 8 game bundle.

Or maybe that's how much the bundle deals will be?


You know, like how Canada (i think) is selling some omega package for about $1000 or so that comes with the HD, 4 controllers, alot of games, headset(s) and all sorts of extra stuff.



Stores aren't allowed to sell the console itself for more than the price their HQ sets, and the console's developers tend to have business contracts with the big stores, and they cant' alter the price without breaking a contract, unless given the OK from the makers.
