Thats great, so I guess your multi-colored blobs will look better than those on a CRT, but they'll still be blobs since your hardware won't be able to render at a high level of graphical quality. A PC that will run Oblivion at even 360 standards will need considerable hardware that has nothing to do with your monitor. Maybe you have that hardware, but if you don't I think the 360 is your best bet.

Myself? I'm going to need a beast to run Medieval 2 (must buy, no option) at a high level anyway, so I'm just going to save until I can get my dream PC.

Well there you go, then. My argument isn't about whether or not YOU can run Oblivion, but whether or not its more economical to get a 360 + Oblivion or for people to upgrade to get the same effect on their PC in general. Most people don't have PC's that run on a V12 deisel

The point is, do you really want those graphics? Sure, if you do, the Xbox 360 is the cheapest choice, but it's even cheaper to just play Oblivion with current (or old) gen graphics.

I'm curious to see how the game actually does look on my computer.

I have two controllers for my PC lying around, and a USB-PS2 adapter, so I think I'll manage. But I'm a keyboard man myself, I like hotkeys and after playing Jedi Outcast, I guarantee you swining a sword and aiming a bow in first person will be easier with a mouse than controller. However, that's a matter of personal taste.

in all seriousness im gonna recommend a PC because you can do many differnt things with it, it amy cost more but in the long run it is the better choice

not only that but there is a modding communtiy for the PC version of oblivion adn so many other games.
