Are we gonna Get Screwed?!

Okay I suspect that I am not the only one who is not among the "very rich"! With this in mind i was only able to afford one game and the preminium version of the 360. Now among the choices they gave me for a launch title game was ES: Oblivion (this was at eb games idk about any other stores). Now there have been some rumors that this may not be a launch title but eb games still claims it is. My question is are those of us who preordered Oblivion going to be S.O.L. at launch!

You won't be screwed, because they will send you something else. In that case, just ask for Oblivion for Christmas!

xpitbull · 11-10-2005, 08:16 PM

Humm, thats hard to respond, isnt oblivion a launching game? if not, they will call you, email you saying you have to pick another game

I'm pretty sure Oblivion was announced as a launch game. What's the problum?

G4everX · 11-10-2005, 10:35 PM

Oblivion hasn't been confirmed as a launch game. I only beleive that it's been anounced to be in the "launch window".. Which could be withen 2 months of the launch.

What do I recommend? Renting!

Diamond · 11-10-2005, 10:39 PM

Screw it, I'm just going to buy the system so I can put it on my shelf as a bragging right. Screw the games.

(I'm joking...)

thats funny that would be a good joke, "where are your games?"
"i dont have any its just for looks."

THEMAN4444 · 13-10-2005, 07:43 PM

Oblivion has been confirmed as a launch title. They have a interview on gamespot.com and the guy says it will be a launch title

Phouka · 13-10-2005, 07:46 PM

but didnt the company just put out a statment that said it was going to be set back a week or two?

gamergurl · 13-10-2005, 07:52 PM

No, your not going to. If you beleive Gamestop retards, VS the game developers (Ubisoft), your a little to optimistic.

Here's the link..http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/656/656869p1.html

Oblivion has been pushed to December 5th.

This happens because Microsoft has a very strict quality control, and there might've been some small issues that needed to be polished so the game can be ready to be released.

I feel your pain, we all want to get our hands into that game, it's only about 2 week delay for America and only 3 more days for Europe, not a big deal. As long as we get a well polished game I believe it's worth the wait.

Glock 19 · 14-10-2005, 11:57 AM

I agree with Aquanox I rather wait a few more weeks to get awesome game with no bugs then a good game with a few minor bugs. After all were all putting down $62 with tax for this game you want a game to be close to perfection as it can be for that price. So I think they doing right thing by taking time to fix up. Remember Patience is a virtue.

Rubiks14 · 15-10-2005, 06:45 PM

i agree with aquanox too, but for those who only ordered game like oblivion and advanced warfighter and then hear that they are being delayed really sucks. i ordered these games (plus quake 4) and i don't want any different games at launch because those are the only ones that really struck my interest. I hope that they can get it ready by launch so i can at least get one of my most anticipated games (quake 4 seems cool but doesn't even compare to oblivion or advanced warfighter in my opinion). so yea i c what your saying aquanox but still i don't think ppl want to have to order other games because their most anticipated game isn't ready.

No one will get srewed. I did hear that IGN said Oblivion will be delayed until 06. You can just change your pre order until then.
