| "Oblivion Collector's Edition" |
 As hard as it may be to believe, we're nearly there. It's just about time to get the game, and it's definitely time to pre-order if you haven't already. As such, I've been asked to say a few words about what you'll be getting when you buy each version of the game, along with a few samples to whet your appetite.
As most of you are aware by now, the game comes in two flavors: regular and collector's edition. The regular edition packaging has this "worn book" feel that we wanted to go with, almost a linen color. The one you see here is probably the 125th (or so) iteration of this box. You wouldn't believe how many times it gets tweaked and modified over the course of the project (I blame Todd, you should too). It looks almost exactly like a quest book you can find in the world. The PC version has a nice flap with more pretty pictures inside. We're very fond of our box. It's the sort of thing we're proud to put our game inside.

"With the game now due in stores in March, it seems like the delay has been worth it...everything we've seen makes us more eager than ever to plunge into Oblivion's world." |

IGN
"The voice-acting of the non-playable characters is top notch. This is a nice touch not only in direct conversations with major players in the game, but when you're eavesdropping on other characters having conversations throughout the game." |
 |
Beyond3D
"Bethesda is close to finishing the latest in the Elder Scrolls series: Oblivion and its renderer looks to be no push over either even for today's monster cards if you choose to pump up the detail settings." |
 |
GameSpot
"Oblivion continues to impress us with its lavishly crafted visuals, which seem to retain the same fidelity on the Xbox 360 that we've seen in previously released media taken from the PC version." |

"... the reason it's so effective is that it affects the player directly; when he hears things, you hear things, and you question what you're really hearing and what you just thinks you're hearing." |

Gameplanet
"The creatures in the story are hideous, dangerous and downright horrific...." |
 |
Game Industry News
"This is the sort of horror that leaves the characters gibbering and the players jumping out of their skin." |

Gameplay Monthly
"If you own an X-box you need to pick this game up, it's definitely on our top ten as far as the X-box is concerned." |
