I don't care if the PS3 is 'inferior' my PC svcks and there's no way I'm buying an Xbox for one game so I'm going with the PS3. But I wouldn't worry too much about glitches and freezing and whatnot

Oblivion seemed to perform slightly better on PS3 than 360. But I am a PC gamer so I will always buy it for PC. But I'm sure the PS3 will run it fine.

I recommend the PC version, at least then it's not as much an issue of optimization and you can upgrade your hardware at any time.

Does it work exactly like using it for the 360? I would get it on PC and buy a 360 controller If so. I prefer controllers over mouse and keyboard.

Would a ps3 controller work for PC?

I voted other. Wait. Wait a week or 2 and see the comments on PS3 users thing. If you can, why don't you rent the game first, if it is possible.

If you can't wait a week or two, then you have no body to blame but yourself. You already have wisdom from previous experiance and/or knowledge from reading the experiance from others.
Only a fool will not use this experiance. You are off to a good start. Just wait a week and see how everything goes.

I have a feeling that the PS3 will be like Fallout 3 and New Vegas and Oblivion. Why because of past experiance, so I will be getting it for the 360. Once user reviews say that the PS3 is
great then I will get it for the PS3. I have both. If I only had the PS3, I will get it for the PS3, I would not go out and buy the 360 or upgrade the PC. But if you feel the need to do it, but a
brand new one not a used one. A used one can last one month just like a new one can go *poof* but at least you have a warrenty if it goes *Poof*. Well if you can get a used one for $50
then I would take a chance but anything over $100 I would buy brand new.

Just use the ps3 both will be inferior to pc version but thats the way it should be ; and to the guy saying the console versions will most likely be better than the pc experience because they were developed for xbox. i'd rethink your logic the game is coded on a pc and probably has on the fly testing on pc seems realistic to expect the best from a computer.

How were they inferior?

Yes, it is a 360 controller for Windows. http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Xbox-360-Wireless-Common-Controller-USB-Black-/product/9B60CED6

The only big issue you may have with the PS3 is if you have a very long game, and your save file gets too large. Other then that I think your good. Though I think PC is the only way to play these games. SInce if you have enough GPU power, you can get nice modded meshes, and textures. Also there will be mods to correct issues, and stuff that Bes will do nothing about. Like menu sizes etc.

ok first, Ive played oblivion on all 3 systems honestly i think the ps3 version looks the best, although the ps3 version only got SI and NofN for DLC/Expansions and the PC version has modding and you can enter cheat codes. As for using a controller to play Oblivion let alone Skyrim...I tryed with my PS3 controller, the computer recognized it but it did not work with the game on the PC plus in the settings of the game there is no controller settings...so if you figure out a way please let me know!

As for the Xbox version of Oblivion its graphics weren't to bad and all DLC/Expansions were available for the 360 but because they glitch so much and I play for like 12 straight hours all the time it just didnt do it for me.

With the computer situation you have with it in your parents room...Buy it for PS3 save up $60 and then when you want buy it for PC so that if you want and when you can you can mod the game and see it from a whole new perspective.

I will buy it for my pc and use it with Keyboard and Mouse

Just get whatever you want.

I've played both Oblivion and Fallout3 on the PS3 (haven't played NV). Oblivion worked perfectly fine on the PS3 and Fallout 3 was great except for a handful of lockups, but they were rare. Look at the Fallout 3 wiki and you will see that Fallout 3 (and NV from what I've heard) is a very buggy game no matter what system you get it on. I've also played Oblivion on the PC, and it was 100% better than on any PS3 or Xbox. I'd get Skyrim for PC if you could, but if you cant then get it for whatever game system you want.

I've had my PS3 for 3+ years. Never had any problems with it and I've never regretted my decision. Xbox is a fine choice too.

Get it for the PC and get a xbox controller that is the best bet. I would shy away from getting it for the PS3 not for any performance reasons or that I'm biased towards xbox since I have one, but for the simple fact it seems to take forever for the PS3s to get DLCs that both xbox and PCs get. If you don't care about the DLCs that will inevitably come out and can wait several months, if not a year, for them to come out if they indeed do come out than just get it for PS3, but be forwarned that you will not have access to user-made mods for the PC and will likely have a long wait for DLCs for the PS3.

Yeah, mods are one thing, but Bethesda's DLC is 360 exclusive. Not 360 and PC exclusive. Dead Money for instance just came out for both the PS3 and the PC at the same time. Both after the 360's release. If waiting for DLC is that big of an issue for you, then the 360 is really the only way to go. That is of course unless Bethesda announces that the DLC will not be timed for 360's Skyrim. History dictates otherwise, but still, we'll all have to wait and see.

You could buy an Xbox 360 Slim.

Honestly, just stick with the PS3. I had both consoles but recently sold the 360 and now do everything with the PS3. There's no point in investing in another system just for one game (otherwise I'd have bought a decent PC by now ).

This or get used to use a keyboard
