Hate companies that felt no way in making us pay way over the odds for decades before the p2p phenomenon... In the 90's/00's we were paying £15 for a CD!, £20 for a DVD!... Even today £40 for a game is ridiculously overpriced yet we still pay it. £20 is a fair price imo and until we see fair value i feel no way about downloading...

It's called making a profit, it's what this countries economy is based on. You should go rob Asda for your weekly groceries because I hear they're charging over the odds for bananas, and you know what else I heard this week, that Tesco were actually selling food to the public, for more than they purchased the food for orginially. Good heavens !!

Haha I love this kind of self-righteous illegal downloading tripe. If you're going to do it (and i'm no angel with music) at least have the decency to admit its theft - even if it is socially acceptable.

'£20 is a fair price IMO'...well nice to know you've got a sound pricing model there. Personally I think something like Skyrim is amazing value to most forms of entertainment (music, dvds) you would spend money on. The amount of production coding, developing, writing, art design, , musical scoring etc etc that goes into something like this is mind-blowing. You're talking tens of thousands of man hours. If you want to have a go at pricing, have a go at Inifinity Ward charging £15 for 4 maps - not this!

I've worked in the games industry on the development side of things (on some pretty huge titles) for over 10 years so please don't tell me how much effort goes into making a game like Skyrim, I know only too well. I also know how much these games make, Believe me it's a staggering amount. Are they value for money? Well if you are prepared to pay that and you're happy with it then yes.

But take it from someone who knows, You could be charged half as much and they would still make their creaters an absolute fortune... Believe me when i tell you that you ARE overcharged VASTLY because games, DVD's CD's etc are classed as "luxurey items" and the VAT on these things are immense, something like 35% of the price.

The "piracey harms quality" shit is exactly that... Shit... Shit people like myself made up because we would preffer our product to make a few more million on the hundreds of millions it already rakes in (not that i see any of that wedge mind you)

Yes it's stealing, Obviously so, I thought that was a given?... But i cannot repremand people for being pissed off with decades of paying over the odds and then having a chuckle at being able to thumb their noses when they get it for free. And for the record, i will only download a game or film or whatever if i have bought the original a couple of times down the years and it's been lost.

Apparently there's an artwork book, model of a dragon (probably plastic) and other things that I don't know about. Anyway, it's costing me £130, but I just couldn't help myself! I love The Elder Scrolls series. I'm not sure but I think it had to be ordered though.
 
It's awesome so far, but i'm like a lost puppy! So much to do and go.. I don't know wether to have a little wander across the mountains or do a few quests. Would be nice to find a fucker who will buy my crap from me though!
 
just done my first dungeon, absolutely immense, took me 40 odd minute to do it but was amazing. Superb game so far! back to cod in a bit to carry on leveling up though :p
 
Fuck me getting that goldens dragon claw was a nightmare. Still enjoyed giving it to the shopkeeper for a 400 quid reward then breaking in that night and stealing it.


Awhh the joys of unpunished theft.

What a game, 10/10 at the minute for me. Still only 2 hours in literally and haven't even scratched the surface. It's love.

Haha i'll go back there and take it ;) at whiterun currently, about to go do a side mission of going to a bandit camp.
 
The game seems to be stuck.

I ahve got out of the underground caves and now have a helmet spinning on a black background and the game giving me tips constantly.

No button does anything but I can make the helmet spin around and move backwards and forwards.

It dosnt seem to have crashed as I can also press the middle button and bring up the PS3 options screen.

The game has crashed 3 times already though.

I would suspect it wants me to press start but nothings happening.

fucking new games.

If you've been playing for hours the disc gets really hot and some of the data can't be read this sometimes causes freezing
 
It had crashed, reloaded it and it didnt do it the second time.

Will be very pissed if this is continual trend though.
 
absolutly amazing im just in windhelm meeting the fella who is praying to the dark brotherhood off on my first assasination mission now. one problem though... it doesn't fit my telly the messages at the top of the screen that tell you when you get items/gold is cut off i've tried all the settings on the remote but nothing, its not a major problem but would like to know what my rewards are if anyone has any ideas.

got work in 8 hours so im being sensible and sleeping
 
Just played my first couple of hours. Just learning my first mage training.

You can just tell this game is breathtaking and going to be amazing
