The reason why I chose Oblivion on Xbox 360

1. Download Content - good way to make the game longer
2. Achievement points - good incentive to complete the game

Even with the new patch, I find that the game plays as well as the other systems.

I can't play Oblivion on the 360, because once you come from a PC, the amount of content mods add to Oblivion is staggering.

Edit: The patch while nice isn't on par with the PS3 version dude. I logged over 200 hours in with the 360 version and am now currently loggin in over 20 with the PS3 version...PS3 has cleaner framerates, faster loads, and better draw distance all round...the patch makes Shivering Isles run a wee bit better but only because the expansion demands more from the console. HOWEVER, as a veteran of the 360 version I can say this...it delivers the same experience the PS3 version does....the minor technical issues are something only the most fussy gamers will complain about in truth.

Acheivement reason is valid but the downloads one isn't.  The developers did say that the expansions will be available to all systems sometime this year (PS3 will be getting them).  I'd say if I didn't own it already for 360 I would have gotten it for PS3.... you get better graphics, load times, draw distance, AND you get the Knights of the Nine expansion for free.  I'd rather have a free expansion than achievement points....  Of course if you like mods then the PC is the way to go.

All in All its a great thing ALL systems get this awesome game.

I bought the PC version first, but I play the 360 version instead because I like the controls better. My TV is also twice the size of my monitor... I could hook my PC up to the television, but that doesn't solve my problems with the controls. And it runs smoother on the 360 without having XP in the background.

I can see the 360 version being better for you if your PC isn't that great, but for me, it looks much better on my PC, and I run it on my 61" DLP HDTV.

Even for the drop in graphics one may get, I think the mods more then make up for it.

I do love mods but I do not like haveing crashes every five min.

I think I'll take everything I said back......as some of you know my 360 has just been sent for replacement.

 So my conclusion is that the game(s) is/are awesome, but going through more than one console is starting to get to me.

I know that others have vented their frustrations of the 360 version locking up, DRE, etc....so I'm not the only one feeling...."manic depressive" about it.

 Then again......I love the achivement points!!!
