why exactly would it kill it? i know i know it got a super super high score which im really really proud of, but why did the 360 get a point higher even though the ps3's is way better? lets say i had a 360 and a ps3 and i wanted oblivion, i would check the ratings to see which one i should get, and 360's is higher, should i get it? no the ps3's is better. idk whatever

Sort of makes us respect the GS ratings all the more, no? I mean, no game is going to get a good rating unless it deserves it. All this and I don't plan on buying Elder Scrolls. I'm a WoW player :D.

That may or may not be the reason, but there are sound "glitches" that appear on the PS3 version that doesn't appear in the PC/360 version.

because the reviewers don't say it's better than the 360, they base it off of what the PS3 can do. That goes for all of you whiners, reviewers base games off of the systems potential NOT anothe systems.

Actually no, this makes things worse because they even said that it looks, runs, and laods better than on the 360, AND that it was a better value with the expansion in it. Why then is it not higher then 9.6 (the 360 score)

It depends on the person making the review, I guess. you can have two identical games, one slightly better then the other and if you feel the need give it a lower or higher score. It could be that there isnt much new in this version that there is in other versions. It might run better but that is all technical stuff that has little impact on the overal opinion.

Maybe because the game came out a year later? Quit complaining.

You have to remember that the 360 version was rated a year ago.  At the time, Oblivion was awesome, when compared to other games (all consoles/pc) at the time.  A year and many games, with that level of graphical detail, have come and gone.  I'm a 360 owner, but I am sure that the PS3 version, a year later, is as good or better than the 360 version.  Its just that, relative to a years worth of next gen games, the wow factor has faded a bit.  Oblivion is an awesome game on all thee platforms.  Arguing, especially about bias, over 0.1 points, a year later is just silly. 

PS3 owners, enjoy the greatness that is Oblivion.  Congratulations on your first AAA.  As for me, I can't wait to get hold of Shivering Islands.  We all (360, PC, PS3) have some great Oblivion fun ahead of us over the next couple of months.

Still, PS3 supports 7.1 surround sound while 360 only supports 5.1 If you would prefer to use component, I believe you can through the PS3 if you would like.

It's really that the .1 was taken away over something that made absolutely 0 sense in a condition that almost makes one want to cry foul. I understand the conditions, however, and I will definitely give Gamespot the benefit of the doubt. I swear, though I'd better not see anything in the next month that makes me wonder, or the stars will again align and Gamespot will have this air of mistrust again.

The pop in is far worse in the 360 version and this video shows it. There is one bit of architecture that does not pop in on the Playstation 3 version at all. Superb example of technical differences.

The PS3 version is not, "way," better. It actually has less content, so it's inferior in some ways. The graphics are a little better than the stock version of 360 Oblivion (there was a patch just released that improved the loading, framerate, and draw distance), but not enough to warrant an entire point. And are you people seriously that upset over the score? Relax...

The PS3 version also doesn't have the downloadable content of the 360 version does it ? 0They probably felt like the PS3 version couold have been a bit better than it was with the increased power and development time, and they adjusted the ratings accordingly.   Which is fair.  I mean, we are talking only a tenth of a point, here.

Well it could be that the game has been out for a year already.... That is just me though. It is old news now. I am surprised it even go the score it did.

Graphics point is moot now too, Bethesda released a PC and 360 patch that matches the stock graphics of PS3 Oblivion. So losing 1 point on the PS3 pretty much matches what Oblivion was a year ago adjusted for time. I mean common guys, 9.5 is a great score.

EXACTLY! That and the new PC and 360 patch address those issues and make it look exactly like the PS3 parts of the video.
