That sounds quite promising for me and my situation. But it does sound like a bit of trouble for you...have you tried just playing by your lonesome? Or telling him how to behave nicely to your beginner gamer skillz...(Sorry I didn't mean to get too personal, but was curious, you can answer however you please (or not))

Try inverting the Y axis.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I got it for 360. It's an amazing game. Not as good as Morrowind, in my opinion, but the best RPG out there right now. Lots of glitches, though.
It's really not worth getting a 360 unless you've got a decent HDTV. Not plasma or LCD, just a good widescreen HDTV. It looks kickass in widescreen.
I had to send my first 360 for repairs. It overheated really bad. Still some bugs with my new one but it doesn't overheat. Honestly, I'm kicking myself for just not upgrading my PC. Oblivion looks I N C R E D I B L E if you have a powerful enough machine.

I have the game for the PC, and I gotta say, I love it. I did, however beat the main quest by level 6, so I feel sorta cheated there. But with all the other quests going on, I still keep playing. I just miss the gates scattered around the countryside. 
As a side note, while playing I happened upon the city of Skingrad, and with it's awesome design it got me to thinking...
What about a themepark/hotel where all of the town's buildings/homes are kind of like rentable apartments. And to get there, you park a couple miles away in a secure parking facility and then either ride a horse or carriage in for your stay.
There could be "shops" where you could buy memorabilia or perhaps learn how to actually smith real armor and weapons. Also learn how to fletch, and bow-hunt era style. Obviously there's no need for "quests" or the such as it could make it cheesy, but basically take that town, make it real, and then live life for a period of time just like in the middle ages.
The only exception being in the bedrooms. All the current day accutriments (including showers ) so that people can remain grounded in reality.
Even have the castle arrainged exactly the same, however once a week, have a big ole shindig in the main hall. Those who pay more, get to live in the castle, etc.
Anyways, was a grand idea, if not truely practical. My wife scoured the internet to see if anything like this existed, but found nothing. 'Course the internet is a big place, so she coulda missed something.
But getting back to the game, I really love playing it. It's actually been the first game in 6 years to pull me, albeit temporarily, away from EQ/EQ2. Heh heh...

AT the end of the day people will say 'Oblivion looks better on PC'. Wrong. A top end PC cannot produce the textures, lighting and general overall graphic quality a 360 does. A 360 has an ATI chipset especially built for graphic creation. My friend has a AMD, dual corp, SLI,twin card blah blah blah and it still doesnt look as good as my 360. A PC is a mongrel. Its a calculator with add ons.Its not built for gaming.
However I had a weird problem with my 360.I bought it with Ghost Recon (awesome game), I then bought Oblivion. I played Oblivion for a while but then it was taking ages to load anything, even when i was accesing the inventory it was taking ages. However Ghost Recon Loaded fine. I was about to take it back and decided to reformat the HD. After I reformated, Oblivion was absolutely fine and has been ever since. No problems with the machine at all :)

Don't tell me I'm wrong. It's my opinion that it does look better on a high-end PC. My cousin has a $2100 PC with all the high-end "stuff". I don't know crapola about PC's so I'll just say "stuff" when it comes to processors and graphics cards, etc.
We did a side-by-side comparison. It's my opinion that the graphics are "dumbed-down" on 360. On 360, trees and mountains and rocks pop-up out of nowhere. Skins look ok, but a little weird. Armor doesn't shimmer like it does on PC.
Overall though, it's better to buy a $400 360 than a $2100 PC that you'll just have to upgrade in 6 months. I can live with the tiny graphical flaws of the 360.
