Oblivion

Complete Skyrim Collectors Edition photo released

  • Comment


Bethesda Softworks received the final version of the art book which will be included in the collectors edition of Skyrim. This has allowed them to post a photo on the Bethblog and handily provided in this news post.

The Collectors Edition contains a cloth map of Skyrim, 200 page art book, 30cm (12 inch for our American friends) statue of Alduin the dragon, a large novelty box - shown here with the Xbox360 label - and fortunately a copy of the game and manual.

This week we received a final version of The Art of Skyrim Official Art Book – the massive, 200+ page companion to the Skyrim Collector’s Edition. To celebrate the affair, marketing artist Lindsay Westcott took a new photo of all the CE contents — including a first peek at the pages of the artbook.

In the coming days, we’ll be sharing more from the artbook… keep your eyes peeled!


The Skyrim Collectors Edition can be ordered for $150 dollars. However Tesnexus is reliably informed that it has largely sold out in Australia due to game store staff members ordering all the copies for themselves.

I have found from discussions with games store staff that they got a heads up and were buying them all up for themselves, friends, and in the worst cases for later ebay sales. One store, that I wont name, had a manager inform me that they were sorry they couldn’t sell me one but how awesome it was that they were able to get 5… yeah felt awesome I can tell you


Skyrim will be available for sale in approximately 48 days.

    I know it comes with a neat little statue and all but, $150 is just too much for a game right now, I wish they thought about that before adding such a price to it. I realize there are lots of people who are willing to pay such a ridiculous amount of money for a game (how nice it must be to not worry about money in these times, I honestly envy them) but still, it would have been nice to see a company thinking about the regular Joe for a change. Oh well, I pre-ordered the normal game, I may not get a über-priced dragon statue but I'm willing to bet the adventures in game will be just as fun without wasting $150. ^_~

    @ BatmanForever

    I never played trough Oblivion until this day because there are so many mods making a GOOD game even BETTER. Oblivion is one of the best games I've ever played, and I had bugs nearly never.

    the game is horrible without mods, thats the only reason it lasted so long, but i tried reinstalling and removing all mods, it still crashes and gameplay is even worse without mods.

    @dartmaul, the dollar is pretty low. I think it's 5.4 NOK or something.

    @Batman, I've never understood those bug- and crash-reports. I've had only a few crashes in Oblivion, and certainly less than in most other games. It's so weird that a game that is exactly the same for everyone should be so buggy for some and not buggy for others... (And I am talking about no mods now, as we all know some mods can cause crashes and such, and one should not base how a game plays with mods but without.)
    Anyway, this was bought on day one.

    Your offer sounded interesting so I searched for it.. But I had to notice that it costs 1099NOK what's about 170$ ... are you sure about your calculation?

    I'll buy it at game.co.uk (as I always do for new games ) so it costs 34,99 GBP which is 40,09€. That's at least 20 percent cheaper than in Germany : )
    (By the way... poor Console-gamers, your game will cost about 15 percent more...)

    $150 Is a crazy price I'll probably just get the standard. I can't think of what I would do with that extra stuff. The cloth map looks pretty cool but, I know I wouldn't use it when there's an ingame map.
