Is this out yet? I saw it was supposed to be released on the 15th, yet EB didn't have it. Also, Gamestop has a 10-21 release date. Is it out or has it been delayed a little? I really want to pick this up, so I was curious :D

Amazon seems to have it in stock, but I'm not sure.
strange... EB has it released on 10-27, Gamestop 10-21

Has this been delayed again? Gamestop is showing an 11-4 release. Wasn't it originally supposed to come out 10-21?

How friggin' hard can it be to release a year-and-a-half-old Xbox game with a couple of PC expansion packs added on?

Well it was pretty hard to release it right the first time without all the bugs, so IMO the longer it takes for this one the better.

I wish it'd come out soon lol :D
Which would be better, PC or Xbox version?

I think the Xbox version would be better. It's only $30, comes with both expansions and doesn't require an IBM supercomputer to run at a tolerable framerate.

PC has a GOTY version as well for the same price. What are the min and rec requirements on the PC version?

a 2 year old PC with the same specifications as the xbox would run it just as well.

Are you sure about that? I know we had a lot of threads/issues back when the game came out with people running considerably over 1GHz, 256MB RAM, etc machines -- suffering slow downs, stutters, etc. Unless they also optimized the code for slower machines, I doubt things'll really have changed.
Of course, the typical machine now is considerably faster.
Then again, I suppose for graphical equivalence it might work, but for the improved PC graphics you'll have trouble.

I have a 2.2GHz, 512MB RAM, 128mb Geforce FX 5200 video card. Think it'd run good on my PC or should I stick with Xbox?

I think you are plenty fine:
Minimum System Requirements
System: P3 500 or equivalent
RAM:128 MB RAM
CD-ROM: 8X CD-ROM
Video Memory: 32 MB VRAM
Hard Drive Space: 1000 MB
I think it just depends on a couple things:
1. Has Bethesda fixed all the bugs which plagued the original Morrowind release? If not, PC is the way to go because of the patches available
2. Would you rather play a 100+ hour RPG on the couch with a big-screen TV and surround sound setup, or sit on a desk chair for 100+ hours and play on a 17" monitor?

LOL, if I had a big screen TV, or even a couch for that matter :D
I'd probably rather play on the PC though.

You should be set then, your rig looks like it could handle it no probs. To give you some perspective, I had an Athlon XP 2000+ 1.67 GHz, 512 MB PC2700 DDR RAM, WD 7200 RPM HD, GeForce 3 ti200 with 64MB RAM and bought the game day and date of its release, and ran into only minimal framerate issues (dips below 20). Most of the time it was 30+.
