Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition

Bethesda's pulling a Disney, and re-releasing a super special 5th Anniversary Edition of Oblivion. The idea is a 'from the vault' package for true collectors (word on the street is, only 200,000 will be made, ever) that includes the following:

• Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game Of The Year Edition
• Collector's Edition Content (map, 'Making Of' DVD with an added Skyrim trailer)
• A $10 Off Coupon (redeemable at any retailer, nationwide) for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

All of this comes packed in a super sexy steelbook with slip cover (as shown above), and the best part? It's $29.99, and will release on June 28th for PS3, XBox 360, and PC. I already own the package on Steam, but at $30, with a $10 coupon for Skyrim included? Sign me up day one, sucka.

Oh, also, it's going to only be ordered at your local 'mom and pop' game stores, and the only online listing I can find is at Overstock.com. It's going to be an elusive little booger, that's for sure. Thanks to Bethesda for the heads-up!

Son of a b! I just bought the game of the year edition for $40!

[Dan]

So does it come with the Septim too? Because that is one thing I sure want.

[Tora]

What's the bet this will never make it to Australia... *sadface*

[Lewis]

Wait, wait, wait.

You own it already, buy you're going to spend $30 so you can get Skyrim for $10 cheaper? so basically you're paying $20 for Skyrim?

[Lewis]

Sorry, that's $20 EXTRA for Skyrim.

[Curtis]

If this includes the Septim, I will get it for sure.

[Bjn74]

To get $10 off, you have to buy Skyrim AND the Prima strategy guide...STUPID !!!

[Wes]

@Lewis: Maybe! I actually don't own the console version of Oblivion, so this package deal may help solve that problem.

Also, I don't see anything in this press release about the Septim coin, but I'm definitely hoping it's in there, as it's the one thing from the first printing I don't have. I needs my fake Patrick Stewart currency!

This have trophies?

[Wes]

@nathan: No word on extra functionality, I'm afraid, but for all intents and purposes, this seems like a 'reissue' moreso than an overhaul. That's not to say they can't patch this in afterwards, however, so the possibility is there!

They just wants money.... and edition isnt cool, nothing new and intresting.
