Where to buy a Oblivion goty copy online?

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 9:01 pm

Hey guys,
recently, I thought of giving Oblivion another go (since it's been a looooong time I last played it), happily grabbed to dvd and put it into my pc. For a mysterious reason, the disk could not be read and you might have already guessed it, my dvd is totally screwed. Scratches everywhere. So I thought about getting a new copy and since I never played SI, I thought I might aswell get the goty version. So far, so good, the thing is just I'd rather not buy it in stores around here, because I'm german and the german syncronisation is REALLY horrible. It's also not really cool to mix english mods and the german version. I wanted to buy the goty version over the website I get referred to by the official elder scrolls site, but they still charge the full 50$ for the game and I'm not really willing to pay that much...unfortunately, I'm not really into online retailers, especially not those who also ship games to germany :P So does anybody know where I could get the game cheaper?

tl;dr version: Where can I get an english copy of the Oblivion goty edition for a reasonable price (preferably with shipment to germany)?

Thanks for your help, I really appriciate it :)

appears that Germany is a supported country:

from a value stand point, try this http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4875/
steam by far is one of the best digital games distribution company.

with this bethdesa pack, you got fallout 3 game of the year edition, morrowind game of the year edition and oblivion game of the year edition.

a plus to using steam is the massive sales they can give because they don't have to shell money out to print the data on dvds or pay for casing and booklets, also the games are stored in your steam account, so if your harddirve dies you can get a new hd and install steam again and your games will be waiting to be installed from your steam games list. no worry about losing dvd's in a move or other reasons.

Thank you very much for your help. I'd have never thought of using amazing uk, so simple but yet perfect ;D Thanks again.
Oh and I was aware that I can buy it over steam, but my connection is rather slow so...;)

Direct2Drive is a pretty bad suggestion. Alas, I'm pretty sure we cannot discuss cracks in this forum.

Steam is the best choice for online distribution, and Amazon if you want the DVDs.
