that 5670 will be more than enough. i'm getting the 360 version and that's not even close to a 5670, i'll still be happy. if you have the cash, upgrade, otherwise, stick with the 5670. can't believe it's been like six years almost since Oblivion!

yup 6 years and I never uninstalled it! I keep playing it once in a while, the immersion is unmatched :yes:

I seen some gameplay of this on destructoid podcast and almost shat myself. This game looks like it is going to be badass, and steal many hours of my life. . . Although, to be fair, I wasn't using them for anything else interesting anyway. ;)

I have never been so excited about a game before, it's a bit mad.

Oblivion has been part of my life for the best part of 5 years, and that will be coming to an end very soon. Cannot wait for Skyrim. I paid in full for the pre-order like a month ago. xD

Bethesda will release a statement and apologize and say it is actually 60GB!

The HDD requirement is quite low actually.

Finally pre-ordered it yesterday, i was tempted with the collectors edition but decided against it at the end of the day i would be paying £130 for a plastic dragon. Not worth it at all.

I was tempted by the collectors edition too, simply because I know I'd play the game to absolute death for years to come, and I'd want to get a special edition of some kind. But what would I do with that dragon? *laughs*

I'll be grabbing the 360 version first, as most of my friends will be getting it on there. Later on, when i've run out of things to do, i'll pick up the PC version for the modding ability. It's been a long time since i've looked forward to a game this much. I'm so torn on what type of character to make, i'm debating between sword and spell combo, an archer, and a pure mage.

I doubt Bethesda will release something extra for the PC version when they haven't in the past. Either they will cut out the high res textures or they have devised a genious compression software.

Quote that Bethblog retweeted

6 gigs: New engine & we’re much better at compression (art/voice/data). It’s huge yet more optimized than we’ve had before. And faster.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
