Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion gets launch date

In light of the recent delays and heartbreaks, March will still prove to be an awesome stretch for 360 owners. With Burnout Revenge and G.R.A.W. looking gold, it only adds more icing to the cake to announce that an official launch date for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has been set. The week of March 20 is when you'll finally be able to throw down and get busy with all the next-gen RPG action you can handle.

This game has a lot going for it. Oblivion has been the recipient of many accolades like "Best RPG in Show" at E3 last year. Keep it tuned back here later on this month to see what the critics and reviewers had to say about it.

Man, this is the best news I've heard all week. I was really afraid they'd push it back a few months, then maybe a few more, ala Zelda, and our 2000+ hour fantasy experience would be delayed by the dismal perils of real life.

Aaaah - the sweet sound of a great game being released!

My wife has been itching to play this whilst on maternity leave - and what makes the release even more sweet, is that she goes back to work on 20th March, so she won't be getting her hands on it before me!

Well now all I need to do is find someplace selling the 360 for list via a known online store... amazing that the supply has not eased up yet... the only thing I will be using the 360 for is ES IV (as I use my Mac for WoW since I switched and dumped my Windows junk last year) so I have not felt any pressure about getting one untill now
Cheers

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! I found the 360 in this little gaming store across the street (they had 2) and I got it just to play Oblivion!! I am having a lot of fun playing Condemned, but beating people with a lead pipe only goes so far.

I think I'm starting to feel some sick days coming on for later in the month (hack, cough)

"No, sir, I can't come in for a few days - must be the Flu (cough)......."
