The Hut sent mine on wednesday, I think, but it might only arrive on Monday or something because I live in Portugal

. This weekend is going to rain and it would be nice to already have it here.
Another thing, damn consoles! Graphics are once again holdback because of them.

One good thing is that people with more modest pc's can play it with good quality.

I've been doing pretty well with my business recently so I am going to do the same with Skyrim as I did with Crysis 2 and Rage. See here:Crysis 2 & Rage. PC vs Xbox

I post when the comparisons are in! Can't wait.

Fantastic video, I'd recommend anyone to snag the 1080p version right away if they have the bandwidth.

Well I still haven't got my copies yet, darn post office. But that may be a good thing. The Xbox version has a patch coming out soon, and no doubt the PC version will improve after a patch or two.

I ordered one for PC and one for Xbox.

I read that the PS3 version doesn't work properly once your save file reaches a certain size. (About 20 hours in for most people) This is a serious issue as textures don't load and the game is un-playable. Patch coming soon.

There is speculation that Bethesda knew about this PS3 bug, as the PS3 version wasn't released for review until one day before release, not enough time to get 20+ hours in. Not sure when the PC and 360 review versions were released though.

Pretty annoying for PS3 owners as even after the patch, those saves will be corrupted. It doesn't seem to happen to everyone though, and may depend on what version of hardware you have (old fat, new fat, or slim.)

Hi Z. I already have mine but I haven't started yet, I have to make a report, until the end of the month, about a chlorine problem that the water treatment plant is having, so I've been kind of busy. But I'm really exited
