Which platform will you be playing Skyrim on? PS3? 360? PC? If PC what kind of PC?

PC. The laptop kind.

Ouch, I hope it's one of those super laptops with state-of-the-art graphics cards and super processors. I will wait for the release of the computer requirements but I'll most likely get it for PC. I normally opt for 360 because I know it meets the requirements, albeit with a reduced product.

When I say what kind of PC I mean graphics card, processor, the whole PC.

It's a pretty good laptop. Runs Oblivion on highest graphics settings (except antialiasing I have only at 2x) without much lag except when I enter a busy area (I have open cities (might get rid of it, not sure it's worth the extra lag)). I am pretty confident it'll work okay for Skyrim.

EDIT: If you hang on, I will go check my specs...

ps3 but hopefully i can acuire a pc b4 then

A PC, one with a Phenom II X2 555 and a GTS 450. Should run it on pretty good settings.

PS3

I don't know much about hardware in detail so I just copied that from system information and removed private/mundane info.

Thanks. How much was it? is it a good PC to play Oblivion and Skyrim on? (I need a new pC, my one just died)

Well, it was $1700, but before you gasp because it's so expensive (presuming it appears to be) that is Australian, and things are always more over here, though apparently we make up for it by earning more. The cheapest I found it anywhere but where I got it was $2400. So I got a good deal. Like I said,it plays Oblivion quite well, and does not lag much even on highest settings.

ok....any other alternatives sorry but I am not a bazillionaire living in Aussie! anything under a grand?

Like the great Todd !!!!!! i prefer the Xbox. The left stick on the PS3 controller is located wrong, somebody should tell SONY. And my pc is for school purpose

nintendo wii

Mine was about $500, though I'd probably recommend going slightly higher and getting a 460 instead. Not much more expensive, though.

No way! I find it much less odd to have the thumbsticks next to each other, rather than in odd positions. That way my hands move around evenly. The Sony controller was like that before the other thumbstick format was around (I'm pretty sure).

thanks mate

Yeah no doubt.. i first switched to the 360 after ps2 and was perfectly fine before i realised the grass is actually greener on the other side... Hehe not really a fan boy but i have noticed that when i now play ps3 more then 2 hours it starts to hurt in my thumb.. the way the xbox conroller is fitted is more ergonomic. but nonetheless kinda ripoff from nintendo 64.

Well, I get annoyed by the XBOX xontroller layout. As for your sore thumb, that sounds more likely tobe from the diferent style of thumbstick than the different location, but I could be wrong.

Gotta get them custom made, Saves money & gives you better parts

I recently got one (PC though), roughly 1400 being built for me now.... and thats in aussie dollers

I shall fetch specs!

Depends on whether or not I'm up to building a new PC by November. If not, then PS3. I've always liked the keyboard/mouse setup, but gotta work with what you got.

I play on a PC. Built it myself a few years back.

I'll be getting a Radeon6870 soon, but currently, the specs are as follows:

CPU: AMD Phenom II X3 OC'ed to 3.6ghz
GPU: GTX260
RAM: 4GB @ DDR3 1600

With the Radeon6870, I'm fairly confident that it will run Skyrim on high settings, even with AA.

In the start i hated the xbox and almost couldnt use it without looking down confused. buuuut i got used to it and now i prefer it. i guess it would be he same if i shifted back. but im not in need of two consolles ...

pc with dual sli gtx 580's B)

I'll most likely play on the 360, unless my brother moves out and takes his TV with him. In that case, I might build a new computer to play it on.
