That's a good point IIDX, hadn't thought of it that way. Anyway, the countdown to Oblivion has begun! Have you guys heard anything to confirm the date the retailers are speculating (March 20-21?)
Sorry if I sound like a know it all, but I'm the kind of guy who reads ALL the previews and interviews and has the FINITE information, I try my best not to speculate on rumors. :lol:
Anyways, as it stands right now Bethesda is still sticking to their "Early 2006" release date, however they have said in the past week's interviews that they have a release date in mind, and are simply waiting to finalize it and announce it. Pete Hines specifically said in the IGN interview that they will make an announcement in the "next few weeks", and that "the end is near".
Another big thing to note is that xbox.com recently changed the release date from TBA to March 20th (or 21st can't remember), but Bethesda insists that it had nothing to do with them and MS did that on their own.
Either way, expect a release date announced within the next 2 weeks (possibly even this week, I'd bet on it personally) and expect the release date to be before the end of March (another thing I'd bet on)
