I am not a very heavy gamer. I play maybe 3-4 games a year all the way through and I normally don't like games that take an incredible amount of time. Some choice for oblivion, huh? But, I've played oblivion about 25 hours before scratching my disc (!!!) and am about to buy another copy. The original is $30 and the GOTY edition is $60. Basically, you get Knights of the Nine for free as Shivering Isle is $30 on live anyway.

Worth it? Or would it be wiser just to save the moola now considering my low play rate, or are the expansions good enough that they will make the game much better. My low play rate also means I am a little of a perfectionist when picking my games. I'm leaning toward the original.

That should be fine. Apparently, the second disc with the bonus content can be installed onto any hard drive, then it's not used anymore so you can just rent it and have all that content for the price of a rental.

Really? Sweet.

Yeah, I just bought the regular edition and borrowed a buddy's GOTY Disc 2, though I haven't played enough of the game to find the expansions anyway!
