I only play a handful of games, but this is on my short list. I have it sitting in my cart and deciding whether to buy now, or wait a few months for the price to drop.

Does anybody know the size of the pre-order map? I'm thinking about getting a frame for it.

So close to completing my Amazon pre-order. I've never spent $60 on a game, ever.

Don't think about the money, just do it.

I was very close to buying the game myself until I read review after review about how bad it was. Just to give you a taste, on Amazon, BF3 Limited Edition for PC got 2/5 stars. That oughta tell you something right off the bat. And the reviews on Newegg aren't great at all either. I'm sure the game itself is amazing, but I just don't want to take the chance of spending that much money just to get aggravated from having issues getting the game up and running. At least not just yet, I hope they fix it soon.

edit: sorry I went off topic...Elder Scrolls rules!!!!
Only 7 more days people
What does Origin have to do with this?

Same here, but if I can get some good money for my old games then I will pre order it or buy it soon. No game is worth $60 except old games like Mario that wasn't about graphics it was about having fun and none of this multiplayer crap.

This is my concern too.

Or I'll turn up for work really tired.
It will most likely be something similar to when I played FF7.

Not sure if this has been posted, but thehut.com are selling Sykrim for £28.

That's the best price I've found anyway.

Not sure if US (and elsewhere like AU) has the hut. But worth finding out.

Which countries do you deliver to?

Delivery is free on any orders placed for delivery within the UK. Our delivery charge for european delivieries is 99p per order. For deliveries to any other country will be displayed in the basket at the time of placing your order.

We deliver to addresses both inside the UK and outside the UK with the exception of the below countries.

Russia
Brazil
Syria
North Korea
Iran
Cuba
Sudan
Myanmar
Libya

Please note that we are unable to ship Books and Electronics outside of the UK.
Something is not right . . .

I made an account, put in my address and everything, and it says it's still only £0.99 for shipping. According to google, that totals only $46.25 USD. I'm tempted to pre-order there and cancel with Amazon, but I'm afraid they might just add in the extra shipping fees later.

It looks like International shipping is a "coming soon" feature in both "saver" and "express" flavors. However, since they let you pre-order, maybe they have already started the "saver" international shipping.

I can better that for the UK, Tesco are selling Skyrim for £29.98 but you can use code EXM5OFF25-1 and get it for £25, if you take that further and use quidco you can get 8% cash back. Ive done it, used the code to get Battlefield 3 cheap too but i had to get someone else to use the code as its one use only per account. You also get a cloth map or whatever it is.

Damn. For once, maybe you international guys are getting the better deal. Well deserved, considering how you typically get screwed on games/hardware.
