Oblivion: PC or PS3??

Which format do you prefer?? I thought Morrowind was the best game EVER until Oblivion game out and I was like, OMG! I play it all the time even now on the PC and it's great but my husband recently bought it on the PS3 for me to try and I couldn't believe it could get better but it did! The graphics are the most amazing and it doesn't slow down after an hour or so like on the PC. I'm so gutted because he lives down south and so I've had to go back to playing on the PC and if he brings the PS3 up with him at all, he's constantly playing Call of Duty 4! I may have to seriously consider getting my own PS3...

I prefer the Xbox 360 version. Like it was mentioned above, the PC has way too many ways to mod and cheat throughout the game. The PS3 is great but if you don't have one its pretty expensive. For me, the Xbox was just right, good graphics and a decent price, so I got it and love it.

I've never played on an Xbox at all ever, so I've no idea what that's like. There's been some good games out only for the Xbox though but I don't think I justify getting one just for that!

I prefer PC for pretty much every RPG, but I have to say it's too easy to cheat on these games. When I mod the game, I have to be extremely careful not to unbalance gameplay, but I want all the neat features modders make available, like riding dragons and putting your shield on your back. The 360 version of Oblivion looks pretty crappy to me, but the PC version is about the same unless you seriously tweak the settings. I have not played the PS3 version and don't care to play it, because the PC version is just that good.

That sounds great, but I wouldn't have a clue how to do stuff like that! Unfortunately I'm not that technical but just enjoy the game.

I've played on both formats and I agree with you the PS3 is better but then I'm not that keen on PC gaming as I like to get comfortable when I play games and also it's so much better on a big widescreen TV. I did notice it getting a bit slow and the movemnets were jerky but I think it was because it was at a level up, as it was fine after that. The only problem I had was aiming but my character never uses the bow as it's far to fiddly and if enemies get to close it's useless.

I played it in my PC. For RPG games, I always prefer to play them in my PC. It's make easy for me to create a mod and edit the game features with PC.

it matters mostly on what you want. if you want to play the game with mods(sometimes this unbalances it so you have to be careful) than get it on the PC. i have tried the game without mods a few times and i just cant live without them. i think i have about 70 different ones running now... the only problem with the PC version is it will usually have a much lower frame rate. that kinda ruins the game sometimes. the PS3 would be good because you wouldn't get any freezes and the loads would be a lot faster.
