Stop right there criminal scum!
I found this deal the other day when someone mentioned the inflated steam price for Skyrim and then subsequently found a link to ozgameshop who are providing the cheapest price for this game from what I can see.
This is for PC only but you can pick up the PS3/360 versions for $62.99 with the cloth map here: http://www.ozgameshop.com/pc-games/the-elder-scrolls-v-5-sky...
Orders will be dispatched before the release on November 11th or on the release day, also free delivery!

CarbonTwelve on 06/08/2011 - 12:25 ¶I still can't get myself past Oblivion's levelling system. I enjoy theory crafting & maximising characters in RPGs, and the levelling system in Oblivion is just so counter intuitive an frustrating that I just can't bring myself to play through it.
Surely nobody plays the game un-modded? I'm playing it now with mods 1,2,4,7 and another one not in this list and they fix this issue amongst many others.

carlscott1982 on 08/08/2011 - 08:23 ¶I agree with Carbon on the leveling system. I was so hoping they would ditch it in favour of straight experience point accumulation. The way it is I spend so long making sure I don't do any action too many times leading to an accidental weak level up that it saps a lot of the fun out of the game.
+1 vote@Carbon. I didn't like Oblivion's levelling system as well. It forced you to go and waste lots of time levelling up some minor skills just before your next level. It was more work than playing a game.
I found this mod last month called "Realistic Leveling" and I've enjoyed the game without needing to worry about min and maxing stuff.

Other mods I really enjoyed was "Alchemy Advanced":

http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26220For me, Oblivion is fun again.

According to a post here: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/43877, OzGameShop games will only work with Steam if it's a Steamworks game. Based on this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Steam_titles#2011 Skyrim isn't Steamworks, so if the post is right the key won't work on Steam.
+6 votesAdding games to the UI isn't what people mean when they ask "can you add it to steam". Hell you can probably add MS Word to steam if thats your definition. I imagine 99% of the time they are asking if you can add the CD key and attach it to the account so that it can be downloaded later on.

I want to buy this and save $40 over JB etc, but does anyone have any experience of how long it takes a preorder game to arrive from the UK with Ozgameshop (a week after the release date perhaps)?
Strand0410 on 07/08/2011 - 15:58 ¶There has been no indication that this is a steamworks game. None of the series games are supported retail CD-keys. Forum talk is just speculation.
Until it's officially announced, which if it does, will be between now and release, it's up in the air.
Lmao find me an official post stating that it won't be, all games that are released as GFWL are publicised as so. If they do not state it will be released as a GFWL then all releases (downloadable or retail) will be steam compatible.
Mate you have no idea what you are taling about, if a game was not steam compatible as they do with all games, the developer declares it as GFWL. Therefore if their official website does not state the collectors edition is GFWL then it will have a steam cloud support. Only a handful of old retail cd's are not recognised by steam for example cod4.
But please give me a recent game that was released by steam, with the collector editions released seperately (like this game) and the collectors editions was not accepted by steam.- samfisher5986 on 07/08/2011 - 19:55 ¶
i never said it wouldn't be, your the one who seems to be sure it will be.
What if everyone purchased it and it turned out it wasn't on steam?
If your going to recommend people buy it for steam, don't do it based on a guess.

Just because it's available on Steam doesn't mean that every key can be validated on Steam. Unless you've got proof that the OzGameShop Skyrim copies will be able to be registered on Steam then I think it's still up in the air.
- Strand0410 on 07/08/2011 - 15:55 ¶
Where's the source? The game is not listed on the Steamworks CD-Key page, nor are any of the other games of the franchise.

To Strand0410 u know gave a link showing recently released games that are acceptable on steam, not games which are to be released. Your post did nothing to add to the conversation. But no one has yet to give me a game that was released as GFW and only operated through GFWL.

@PCGamer
That's the whole point, I can't find any resource that points conclusively to the fact that this retail game will be supported, and neither can you. My link merely points out that none of these series' games are supported (which might have clued us in).
I haven't mentioned anything about GFWL and not entirely sure why it's being brought up or why you think it's something anyone cares about. If you have any source that proves that this retail game is steam-supported, then bring it up, because pointless speculation on either side is helping no-one and I, for one, would like to know.
Okay, can anyone name a recent game that has been solely GFWL (excluding indies)? or name a game that has been released in the past 2 years on steam, where the collectors editions was only GFWL supported. All games that are GFWL are publicised as such, if not speculating that a game is GFWL is crazy.
+1 voteheatseeker424 on 06/08/2011 - 16:02 ¶I imagine it would. The map isn't really a collectible, it's really just an aid.
- +1 voteCarbonTwelve on 06/08/2011 - 17:39 ¶
This is probably the cheapest available with or without the map. The map just seems to be a bonus if you preorder.
+1 voteoooooooo….
Probably not really worth it.

+3 votesCheck the links above, if it isnt explicity listed as a steamworks game, then it likely isnt. There is certainly enough ambiguity to assume it isnt without some evidence to contradict the links given….
So it has been answered, even if that answer is 'not likely'.
Either way people repeatedly asking the same question is beneficial how?

theguyrules on 07/08/2011 - 17:38 ¶So keen, but already pre-ordered at EB Games. And since I know I won't be getting the collectors edition, I have no problem price matching Big W or similar which will have it like $30 cheaper on release, as usual.

Oblivion is still one of the best games I've ever played…. sooooo many hours to sink in it. Even better than Fallout3. If Skyrim is better than that, I predict many late nights foe me later this year :).
