They were posted on the official TES forums but were taken off because they were illegal. Since this isn't the official elder scrolls forum, can whoever has them post them for all to gaze over?? smile.gif

I don't give OXM much credence when it comes to their reviews; almost as bad as EGM, but with xbox bias.

Interpretation:  Their review scores don’t persuade me one way or another.

Dammit you warned me and i looked anyways, those scans are a welcomed sign of how the final game has shaped up, especially after that long ass thread that was all about complaining how they removed certain things from the game! I cant wait, its gonna be my birthday present to myself!

Damn,  I think it's safe to say that any 360 vs. PC debates over Oblivion are ended now.  Those shots look absolutely stunning.  Better than the clear screens Bethesda provided on their site.   Goddamn, look at that draw distance and the weather effects.  I haven't been this psyched for a game since Zelda V came the the N64.

great find!  i can not wait for this damn game

one thing though, they mentioned how it would be advised to buy the collector's edition.  i looked but cant view any sites at work, what are the main differences between the collector's and regular version?  as long as i get a map and manual with the regular version like in morrowind ill be more then fine.  is there any real advantage in buying the collector's edition?

Hot damn, those shots look amazing.  I realize they are PC shots, but everything should look the same on the 360, even if the res is a little lower than those images.   Ships in 11 days, should be golden for pickup on the 21st.
