This Week in Skyrim

There's no doubt that certain open world video games from a certain developer named after a certain locale in Maryland have a certain jank about them. Love it or hate it, it's there and more often than not makes out for hilarious happenings.

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!
