I think Joyce Mayne started selling them early. It's fucking excellent. All friends are losing their shit over it. I'm probably not gonna see most of them until next week 
Skyrim just got released 10 hours early in Australia
- Thread starter purpleflamingo
- Start date
Dammit lucky Aussie gits! You get it early, and you get the time zone difference!!!
I still have 24 hours to wait :'''''-(
How is it? Stop playing it for 5 minutes and share damn you, you owe us that much!!! How does it look? How much fun are you having? What is your avatar wearing? Do you like scary movies?

GAME got sent emails saying that even if other places broke street date that they'd be getting fined $10,000 per copy sold.
So, yeah.
:O lol. That's hilarious, considering that they were given very strict orders.Miles000 said:Apparently GAME posted them out early.
Word got around, everyone else started selling it...
Steam won't let me install it yet
EDIT: Accoring to my brother it got broken on Tuesday by Coles Myer chains. (Includes Big W).
Permission was given to sell early at 12 noon EST in Aus.
Yeah, as soon as I got word from the escapist, I called up my games retailer in Melbourne and ROCKETED over to their store to pick up my copy.
I've been playing since 5pm, my first impressions? GARFLBPRHBARLGBARGH!!!!!!

called into EB this arvo and saw the "OUT NOW" sticker slapped on the Skyrim Poster. Although i have no intention of playing the game, i still though it was quite hilarious seeing the 'out now' sticker right next to the release date... right next to what the actual date was...
Look dude, you can't just tease the rest of us like that. That's good but not enough info, MORE! What was your 2nd impression? The 3rd? What weapon are you using? TELL US!captaincabbage said:
Well, I just weoke up now, so I'm about to start playing again (as you would).KingsGambit said:
From what I can tell, the map is GIGANTIC. Everything is framed perfectly and artisticly from every angle (especially places like Bleak Falls Barrow) and there are SO MUCH COOL ARMOR AND SO MANY AWESOME WEAPONS IT'S INSANE.
Also, I gotta say, movement is just beautiful. I actually spend most of my time in third-person now, except when fighting, just because it looks so wonderful.
Oh, and from what I can tell, the perk trees and levelling system are smooth as sick and really well redesigned. I'm already lvl. 5 and I've just been levelling up in things that I really want to.
Destruction magic is so fucking cool now, it's insane. My basic fire, frost and spark spells are like beam spells, making them really useful for combat and really cool to watch. Also, combat feels so much more heavy and powerful than before, especially with me using a war axe and flame spell combo (not really and Orc combo, but whatever).
And finally, last but not least, what you've all been waiting to hear, there have been just about no bugs in my game at all. The worst I've found is when the game is loading something particularly big, like a big plot, where the game will freeze to load for a few seconds, then resume like nothing happened, which is understandable, because the world is massive.
