[www.uesp.net] (More texture packs here)

If you have both copies on PC and X360, just install the texture packs and you'll be amazed by the level of graphical improvement over the original and 360. I'm not even kidding here. You can play with a much lower resolution and a few setting turned down if necessary, but with quality texture packs, the difference is unbelievable.

Oblivion still looks better and runs smoother on my Xbox360.

I can put everything on max settings and the highest resolution on the PC, of course, but then it chugs along at about 15fps, and honestly doesn't look that much better than on the 360.

The main non-graphical benefit, for me, is the controller. The 360 controller is a lot more comfortable than using a mouse and keyboard, and since you're spending dozens (if not hundreds) of hours running around the game's world, you're gonna appreciate being able to veg out on the couch instead of cramped over a desk.

The real reason games for the 360 and PS3 cost more than the pc is simple economics: supply & demand. Console owners are willing to pay $59.99 for a new release. They will pay more for the LE and CE versions. The publishers know they can get away with it so they will continue to do so as long as consumers pony up the cash. The PR bullshit about piracy is not the reason. Look at last months sales for software: $945 million. That is almost a billion dollars in software sales alone, not consoles. And it is around a 60% increase from March of last year. Just wait until this upcoming holiday season and you will see just how big the industry is becoming.

we are always told that piracy = higher prices. the ps3 should be the cheapest of the lot if the game companies really believe what they claim.

Off topic but did anyone ever find out what was happening with the perk competition? They never got back to me about if all the winners were going to be in the game or just the one. Kinda like the idea I contributed:) Would make my day if it featured. Well year more likely

It's okay, I make more than they do.

I can't let fallout 3 sit on my desk because I'm to lazy to go on my PC. I'm going to have to rent Oblivion so I can make a decision about this kind of gameplay on a console.

I mean, Bioshock had an awesome Big Daddy Figure that wasn't exactly "small", and they still only charged $10 more than normal.

@Daigoji Gai: The Oblivion modding community was pretty much what I required to make Oblivion playable. Then I slapped in a few more so I could get a bunch of JRPG rejects running around Tamriel, as God intended. If God was a Genki Girl.
