Oblivion Fifth Anniversary Edition Coming in June

Bethesda is readying a Fifth Anniversary Edition of its hit RPG epic The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion [http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-IV-Oblivion-Game-Pc/dp/B000V9C9FO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1306167834&sr=8-4] which will include new Collector's Edition-style content and a coupon for $10 off the upcoming Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

If you're an RPG fan who somehow managed to miss Oblivion, the previous entry in Bethesda's sprawling Elder Scrolls series, this is a great opportunity to rectify that oversight. The Oblivion Fifth Anniversary Edition will come with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition, which includes the Skyrim [http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-IV-Shivering-Isles-Pc/dp/B000NGRIDI/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1306167834&sr=8-11] trailer and a coupon that'll get you ten bucks off Skyrim when it finally comes out. It's all collected together in a sexy Steelbook case with an original-look Oblivion slipcover.

This whole awesome package [which, for those concerned, does include the Horse Armor DLC as part of the Knights of the Nine package] is expected to sell for $29.99 which, when coupled with the Skyrim coupon, makes it a seriously good deal. The only potential downside, according to Overstock.com [http://www.nitrobeard.com/home/2011/5/16/oblivion-5th-anniversary-edition.html], which has this new Oblivion release dated for June 28 on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Huh. I might have to check this out. I've been thinking of re-buying the game since I gave my old copy to a friend after not playing it for a few years.

 

[ChillShark]

This would've been flipping awesome, if Witcher 2 hadn't just come out.

 

[Cpt Corallis]

Awww....I Live in the UK. Why can't I have a cool map?

 

[Alucard788]

I just bought the game of the year edition on steam! Arrrgh! >_<

Why do they do this. *headdesk*

 

[Gabanuka]

Is it bad that I own two copies of the game and yet I want this?

 

[Mr.Amakir]

I recently started a new game of Morrowind and then i see this.

 

[John Funk]

Don't think of it as an Oblivion re-release. Think of it as a special Skyrim pre-order bonus.

Awww....I Live in the UK. Why can't I have a cool map?

The map comes with every (non-digital) version.
The 'making of' DVD was in the oblivion special edition thingy years ago.

The only selling point would be the skyrim discount.

 

[Paul Hearding]

Hmm... I already have this game and yet I'm considering this.

Also, Nitrobeard? Epic! I know the guy that runs that site. If you haven't checked out their podcast yet, it's pretty entertaining!

 

[Lacsapix]

I already found a map in my GOTY edition....
its not that big but it does includes the shivering isle's.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

... well, I need to go get it. Now. I don't care that this will be my third copy, I want it.

Aaand preordered. I need a job badly. Can't wait to get this in the mail.

 

[Seabear]

Also upsetting (other than living in the UK) is the fact that it doesn't include Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul. It's how Oblivion should have been from the beginning.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

Awww....I Live in the UK. Why can't I have a cool map?

Um...Oh, I got it! Because you live on a island, and the maps would probably get wet and ruined during shipping, and therefore they'd be wasted...okay, I don't have a good reason, but I tried.

Anyway, I've often heard how good this game is. Perhaps if it shows up somewhere that I shop, I'll pick it up.

 

[Andy Chalk]

I may pick this up if I can find it. 30 bucks (20 bucks after coupon), extra content, no need to horse around with game + patches + SI + Kot9 discs is pretty appealing, even though I'll probably never actually install and replay the thing anyway.

I'm a collector, god dammit.

This would've been flipping awesome, if Witcher 2 hadn't just come out.

Can you decorate your house in human skulls? If yes, the witcher might be the best thing ever.

 

[Sethzard]

I would get it if it came out in the UK.

 

[JokerboyJordan]

Damn Americans getting all the good stuff... *grumbles*
