A fire alarm is going off in the Gamespot feed and now they have to stop.

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.

I have a CompUSA, BB, and Circuit City within 1/2 mile of my work. I will most likely pricematch BB this morning when they open in 30 min.

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.

Did you use the actual weekly ad from compusa or a print out?? All I have is a printout from the weekly ad online.

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 really don't know if extra maps are included or not but rest assured all the maps you'll need are in the 368 Page guide.

Oh and BTW Canis let me know how far you've gotten before you leave for work.

Are you guys mainly buying this for Xbox 360, or PC? I'm going for PC, haven't gotten to play it yet though (work)...

I did buy the game guide. I figured that the $15 saved on the game pretty much paid for the guide.

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.

Yeah, I was asking because when I was at my local BB on Saturday, they didnt have them. I was going to pick one up early, but no go.

Oh well, ill check in a bit and just stop by Gamestop if they dont have them.

Did you buy it at the same time as buying the game? A lot of those places give a discount on the strat guide if you buy it with the game.

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.

Yeah I actually preordered both of them so that's why I was saying "for some reason" because I'm not sure if it was something else I bought or if they were just having 20% off strategy guided or what the deal was. I also traded some crappy games that I don't play when I preordered and that may have done it. I have no clue why I got a discount.
