I noticed you can actually buy this game onlineand download the entire game in a 4.5 GB Zip File using the Direct-2-Drive service.
I was wondering if anyone bought the game in that manner and how well everything went. I was thinking about downloading it myself just to avoid a trip to the store (although the download price is the exact same as the retail boxed price...maybe I should reconsider that idea? lol)
Anyway - I was wondering how long it takes to unzip that 4.5 GB file and if it's even worth the hassel...
Also - can you play the DVD version WITHOUT the DVD in your drive? Or does it run those stupid CD-checks?

Buy a boxed copy at a store or at a place like gogamer.com. Or better yet, on ebay. That way, you can resell it when you're done with it.
I did not get Oblivion off D2D but I did get Thief 3/Prima guid The game and guid work great on this computer but it will not let me install the game on any other computer or look at the guid on any other computer..... I dont no if that is just me or not but I dont like that much.
I have always bought the box version of the game myself. You can probably find the box version cheaper than you can get it from D2D. Oblivion is a great game, but I would take the extra care and just get the boxed version. Don't forget... Shivering Isles comes out today!!! :D :D :D
I would always buy a game online if I could, using D2D or from the publisher (EA Link). I much prefer downloading my game and it is the future, so everyone needs to get used to it...
I have not downloaded Oblivion, but I did buy and download Titan Quest from them and it went perfect ! but then I tried to get immortal Throne.... and things went all wrong :(
I never did get it, and I created a ticket with them, and it took over 2 days before someone responded and by that time I did not care, because I got it at ebgames for the same price ......Â
If you can download it from them it works fine, but if you have a prob... don't expect quick customer service.
I didn't buy Oblivion on D2D, but I've bought 5 others. I bought CRC05, Dues Ex, Swat 4 Gold, Beyond Good and Evil...my biggest file was World of Warcraft and I had not a single problem with any of them.
has anyone tried to install any of the games on other computer? also did anyone get any of the Prima guids and try and run them on other computer? if so did they work?
