Collectors Edition?

[Erinaceus Europaeus]

When was the Collectors Edition of Oblivion meant to be out? I havent heard any thing about it since before oblivion was released except that there was some sort of delay.
Thanks

Got my copy the day it was released

Got it from www.gameswarehouse.com.au
But I think they may be out of CE's

I got the collectors Edition the day of release the
only game that had a problem with Collectors editions
being delayed is Guild Wars Factions and that comes
to stores tomarrow the 4th of may.

same here. got my CE of oblivion day it came out. was it really worth it tho? i thought it may have extras in it but it just had that map, that pocket race guide, and that "how they made it" extra cd. So why did we pay extra mulah?

I'd like to know too. I broke down and got a new puter* ("I needed it for work anyway," she rationalized.) I'm getting ready to by Oblivion and I was really wondering if the CE is worth the extra cash.


*Thank goodness for Dell where you can pay the sucker off interest free.

It depends if you're a coin collecter or not. :shrugs: I haven't seen the standard packaging but i can tell you that the special packaging is a bit of a PITA. The sleaves that are supposed to hold the map and docs in place when you unfold the cover don't really do a good job. After mine ended up on the floor one too many times i chucked the play disc into an old plastic cover where it now lives permanently. ('cept when i play it of course!)

Is there a different map in the CE than in the standard version of the game? The standard version has a fairly uninformative paper map with only major cities, roads and rivers marked out.

I miss Morrowind's map...

I miss cloth maps

I haven't been able to part with any of my old games, but sixty dollars is a large chunk of change. From what I've read here, I think I'll just get the regular old fifty dollar uncollectable one.

[/QUOTE]Ah, but who's to say it's not collectable? I got SE for the coin (athough i'm not a collecter). In retrospect, standard would have been just fine.
