Compusa was getting 2, thats right 2 copies today so yesterday I went to EBgames and just got one of the 20 they had on the shelf. Its a great game so far, I hated the fighting in the last one but this one seems much better.

Well, after waiting an hour, I finally got my copy from Best Buy. they had no issue price matching. I am never buying a new 360 game from the Novi, MI store again. I don't know how many copies they got in of each 360 version, I grabbed mine as the manager brought it to me. I was ready to cancel my pre-order and walk out the store.

Hmm... my bad, I didn't realize the Compusa ad was for 15 bucks off... guess I'll try a pricematch as well.

went to the Ann Arbor Best Buy, no problem with the pricematch (this was after I tried the CompUSA next door one more time and they still didn't have it - they did have their weekly ads out, so thanks CompUSA!

Should I go with the CE version??
Is the game guide worth it?
Did Best Buy have it? price?
Does the game come with a map?
Im considering buying the CE or game guide.

skip the collectors edition and get the game guide, that's what I did, would you rather have some dumbass making of DVD or a cool book with everything you'd ever want to know about the world of Oblivion?

I was at TRU the other day and they had about a billion of the guides, so if you can't find it at BB you may want to try TRU. Also EB has them for 20% I think, or at least mine was 20% off for some reason.

I almost escaped the sewers. But when I was trying to talk to one of the guards, I accidently pick-pocketed him, and they killed me. had to almost start over. I should be well out of the sewers by time I have to leave for work.

I have no clue why I got a discount.
