4/25/11 in gamestop i sell 4 games in hope to get enough money for TES 4 GOTY, just to play the **** out of it before Skyrim hits the shelfs in November.. I get $42 in store credit.. i go straight to the PS3 section.. and look around for about 12minutes.. NO TES GOTY D:... i see Oblivion.. but NO GOTY. I walk up to the register and ask if they can help me find it.. they check they're inventory.. NO GOTY.. Then.. The lady says, "lets check to see if any nearby GameStop has it in stock... 9seconds later.. she says "......... (something), North Carolina"... O_o.. The closest GameStop that has GOTY is in NC.. remember im in VA.. So i put my $42 on a Gift Card ... Next time we will meet .. and you will be mine!.. Can you believe Oblivion GOTY is makin more sales thanks to Skyrim..
I don't really know what your point is, but yes I can believe it. I for one know several people who have picked up Oblivion now based on what they have seen of Skyrim so far. They want in on the action that swept the planet in 2006. GOTY is the best viable option for experiencing Oblivion to it's fullest and most epic. I'm not gonna vote because I don't understand what I'm voting for, but I'll tell you this.
2006: I bought Oblivion day of release because I was a fan of Morrowind.
2007: After playing through Oblivion to it's fullest, I thought about buying the add ons separately, but I resisted. Instead I purchased GOTY. I live in England. Every town in England is close together by American terms. There were no copies on the day of release of GOTY. I waited a week before getting it. Since then, GOTY has still been in production, and new copies are still being made. Or were until recently at least. I'm not sure. Either way, it has been increasingly difficult to get a GOTY edition since 2007. The current resurgence of the Elder Scrolls probably hasn't helped. So yes I can believe it when you say the only other copy is a million miles away from you. It's a damn good game, that has had a whole lot of attention since it came out. And Skyrim has bolstered that market tenfold.
