I have no first hand experience, but from what I've heard, the ps3 versions of Fallout 3 and New Vegas had terrible feedback from ps3 users saying there were too many glitches, it freezes etc...
I can't help but be worried that there will be similar issues in Skyrim.
I was going to preorder this but after thinking about this for a while, I might decide to wait a week or so after it's out. (couldn't wait any longer than that.

I would get it for the pc, but I don't like using the keyboard, so I might consider buying a 360 (used) just to play this game, and perhaps some others. But then theres another issue im worried about... the RRoD. (I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place bliviongate: )

What do you think I should do?
I'm not letting people decide officially for me, I just want something to think about.

Thanks

EDIT: I'd prefer not to get it for my computer, Im 15 and the pc is in my parent's bedroom so there would be many restrictions as to when I could play

I'm getting it for the Xbox, but PC doesn't sound that bad either.

Well, chances are you'll be able to use a 360 controller at the PC, as one could do with Fallout 3 (dunno about Obivion). Besides that, I imagine there will be plenty of glitches and freezing across both consoles and PC so eh. *Shrugs*

Fallout 3 and NV were just as buggy on the Xbox Just see how it goes, no need to buy a new console.

No, it won't be the same for Skyrim. You're forgetting that Fallout 3 and New Vegas were made with the Gamebyro engine, an engine over a decade old. It's like trying to upgrade your PC past its upgrade limit.

Skyrim uses a whole new built-from-scratch engine and this game is being developed on consoles first, so if anything, they will be better than the vanilla PC version.

PC, and either get used to a keyboard or buy an Xbox 360 controller that works on PC.

if you want to increase framerate you can try an xbox, it wont be that much different you might as well work on your PC with that money

Im getting for PS3 too, i just hope that Beth tries to be fare.... Im ok with it equal to XBOX even though PS3 can be better, in terms of performance...

Well, youve seen some gameplay on xbox, and nuthin is wrong with that.
Dont buy a used xbox. EVER. Especially if your worried about RROD.
The new model, Ive had for 7 months, and not one problem.

Hope this helps, :thumbsup:

Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Oblivion worked perfectly fine for me.

Asa matter of fact my neighbour who plays Xbox is the only person I personally know who has had game breaking bugs, or at least bugs and glitches that render quests, or parts of the game un able to beat or complete or play, He has also had more strange random just plain weird non game ruining or experience ruining bugs and glitches then me.

So dude, buy this game for PS3 :foodndrink:

Same. I'm buying for PC strictly for MODS! My friend lost maybe 7 copies of Oblivion due to the xbox laser actually burning the disc. I have played Oblivion and own Fallout 3 on PS3 and have no problems besides a freeze here and there, and that was after playing for about 7 hours straight.

Todd howard prefers the xbox.
I prefer the xbox,but you go with whatever you want.
Personally i think the PS3 version will be as good this time.
What some people don't realize is PS3 and xbox are very similar...xbox is just easier to develop for.
PS3 has a little more power,but nothing special. It also has two lots 256mb of memory.
The xbox as one 512mb...the way the GPU works with the memory in the xbox allows it to be a little smoother....and that is FACT!
But either way,buy what YOU feel is going to be better for you.
Whatever you decide is your choice,you'll still get to play skyrim no matter....and thats a good thing

I'm getting it for the 360, and I have a PS3. But it should run fine for the PS3 as well. I just do all my gaming on the 360.

This. :goodjob:

Considering this will still be made for xbox 360, even a fairly cheap PC at this point should run the game just fine. People seem to forget that the Xbox 360 is now the equivalent of a 5 year old computer.

You shouldn't be.

It's a bit broader than that. While the Gamebryo version Bethesda decided to stay on and tweak themselves account for a lot, the other areas of blame are largely on Bethesda's performance themselves. Even the best engine can turn up a bad game without a skilled group of individuals. This was pushed to the max in New Vegas, the buggiest canon Fallout to date. To Obsidians credit it isn't their strong suit as writing and dialogue is and considering their timeframe slightly impressive. But yes with the Creation engine and this being a fresh new project going up against heavy competition at that end of the year like Mass Effect 3, or even a surprise visit from Deus Ex: Human Revolution I feel with their timeslot choice their content with their abilities. I predict load times will -slightly- decrease and bugs will be majorly cut back across all platforms. I'm more concerned with how their writing and storytellings improved, and if they can reach Morrowinds fair writing standards and even go higher. This is because Fallout 4 is most likely already or soon to be in preproduction. Hopefully that comes next-gen or after Bethesda maybe makes a brand new IP or game just to help the franchise from being saturated and to give it time to refreshen after 3 and NV and NV's oncomming dlcs plus iD's RAGE comming this year. Untill then looking forward ro Skyrim. (( Wow typing on an ipod touch is pretty hard. Sorry for grammatical mistakes. Haven't used this thing in awhile. It was a gift.))

Get it for PC, use a 360 controller. not too big a deal

Forgot to mention...if you already have a PS3,just stick with that.
And as much i as i love and prefer xbox,DO NOT get a pre-owned one.
Whatever you decide.....i hope you love your skyrim experience come 11:11:11 :thumbsup:
The new xbox's are good no need to worry about the RRoD.
I usually put all my games in the hard drive,it loads faster,and it keeps your xbox much cooler.
Installing games on your hard drive will extend the consoles life alot.

I'd say buy a used xbox and pre order this game or buy it at the shops. I'm baised though since I've been playing oblivion over the years only on Xbox 360. I have never once had a crash or other problem with my copies of the game.

I prefer xbox,but you shouldn't tell him to buy a pre-owned one regardless.
He's asking for advice.
If he already has a PS3 stick with that,if not buy either a new PS3 or a new Xbox.
I could be biased and say xbox....but it would be unfair for me to do so.
Not all pre-owned consoles are bad-but it's still a risk,not all shops check them like they should....trust me.
I know your young,but if you have the money,buy new...be it xbox or PS3.
But in the end it's down to you.
Not all opinions will help you on here because of biased opinion.
Find out on the net,or at stores,check each console out,and decide for your self.

Okay, so with Oblivion, Fallout 3, and New Vegas the PS3 version was inferior, and i am certain this will also be the case with Skyrim. But that being said, they were still more then playable and Skyrim will still be an incredible experience! My advice, just stick with the PS3 version, it will be fine, only get an Xbox if there are other games on the Xbox you want to play as well.

I have a PS3 and a 360. Obviously I'll be buying it for the 360. Plus, my achievement points are far more substantial than my Trophies as I had recently acquired my ps3, and being the super non-loser that I am, I want to keep racking up dem achievements!

I'm getting it for the PS3, (it'll be a damn cold day in hell before I buy another 360) and if 'Skyrim' svcks on it (PS3) - well, I'll be done with Bethesda then. Sometime down the line, I'll pick it up used for the PC.
