If you want to buy the Xbox version, I guess you have to look on Amazon, Ebay or something similiar.

The Collector's Edition of Morrowind was only released for the PC and is now rather rare, and doesn't include any expansions. Neither do the Collector's Edition of Oblivion.

I would really recommend buying the PC version, though. It runs noticeably faster and is now 9 years old so even a relatively weak computer run it well. You can easily buy it from Steam.

As Freddo notes. I just checked on Amazon, and found http://www.amazon.com/Elder-Scrolls-III-Morrowind-Xbox/dp/B00005OWBL/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1305005797&sr=1-3. As you can see, used copies go for as little as just under $3 US (plus shipping).

Morrowind was made in the days before hardline consolitis, so you can only really appreciate it on PC.

I also suggest you get in for the PC. There are great mods that fix a bagillion bugs in the game. Also there is a thing with the save games being corrupted due to a flawed saving system; Morrowind Code Patch fixes this but you aren`t able to use it on xbox.

Yeah, check out Amazon.
Morrowind is more of a PC game and the mods are awesome.Better get the retail version of it on PC.If you buy off Steam, you won't get the Construction Set, which is really useful and easy to use.Morrowind has some bugs and if you run into one and don't find a mod that can fix it, you can use the CS. There is the Morrowind Unnoficial Patch that fixes most of the bugs though.

And the Morrowind Code Patch, too. Both are excellent additions.

I can only agree: go with the PC version, and check out the wonderful mods. There are over 8000 (of which ive' heard tell 6000 or so remain online). They can create houses for you, from tiny huts to huge castles; give you companions to heal you, go to battle, and involve you in their actions; new stores with merchants; game tweaks to make it harder, or easier; tons of quests; whole city, countryside, and gamewide visual makeovers.

if you want it on xbox try a second hand store thats where i found mine

but it ran that slow and laggy that i couldent stand it. buy it on pc you have mods and it runs a lot faster

and if you're lucky it might support 360 controllers or there may be a mod for it on pc

You want to go for the PC version (speaking as one who started Morrowind on the console and moved to PC). The bugs are unbelievable, it crashes randomly about every ten minutes.
