Very odd regarding the steam thing for a offline game...

Anyway! I want to see some HD footage, with no commentating, just pure gameplay, maybe a little commentating!

Can't wait for this. Looking for places to preorder!

Where is the cheapest? Coolshop seems pretty good atm (£26).

Agreed. I would much rather it were available on D2D like Oblivion was.

Are you really "very upset" by it? :confused:

Install the game. Put Steam in offline mode. Done.

Where have people pre-ordered this from?

Definitely not from the high-street front runner. They're taking the whizz and charging extra thanks to the fact that they got Beth to bend over and stop Steam sales for now.

Seen it

Noticed this. They are much more expensive than anyone else at the moment. Coolshop looks the cheapest, but have never ordered from them before. The next is Amazon, but have had many, many pre-order issues with them.

I'm yet to decide as to whether i will get a limited edition or whatever, but if i end up getting the standard edition i'll probably just get it from OCUK tbh.

I'll get it from OcUK if the price is competitive.

dont get me wrong i use steam for majority of my games but there are some games which i prefer not to be associated with steam whatsoever... skyrim being 1 of them.

OcUK doesn't have competitve prices when it comes to games

paulc25 · 17 Aug 2011 at 18:23

So does this being a steamworks game mean that you can't play the day before if its sent out early?

Not usually, but it is £27.99 atm on preorder, i wouldn't say that is too bad really. It would be nice if they had some sort of limited/collectors edition as well though

Correct.

So your fine with it for most games, but not others... What's the crazy reason you don't want Skyrim for it?

With the free delivery... that's not actually such a bad price.

That is shockingly competitive. Might get it from here then. Changing address this weekend, so will wait until I am settled into the new pad before ordering.
