HTTR Forever.
Always on PC because of the modding ability and the controls. I have a preference to the keyboard controls over a thumb jockey console controller. PC also gives that option to add a ridiculous amount of mods to the game. Its made playing Oblivion a whole new game every month or so as I keep downloading new mods ( quests, races, locations, items, monsters, spells, NPC's, skins you name it). Skyrim will be no different because like the Sid Meier Civ series, Bethesda has welcomed the modding crowd.

Thats surprising given that the engine was older and the models/textures were mostly the same used from Fallout 3. Some reviewers said this made the game look "dated," but I thought it still looked beautiful. In any case, looking forward to this game and glad I won't need to upgrade

I am in the market for a new desktop. I need to build/buy the cheapest one that can run this game flawlessly. Suggestions?

Check out Newegg build bundles. I built my new PC about 4 months ago and bought one of those bundles. If i bought everything individually it would have cost me around $1000-1100, but i got everything i wanted in the bundle for $730.

Only one month away...
Amazon had a $10 credit when I checked yesterday, and don't forget to order thru a BP referral.

I'm totally getting this game! Only problem is, i'm also getting MW3, so this game might have to wait another month or so. Looks amazing though.

I'm going insane. I'm constantly checking the order tracking from Amazon (has not shipped yet), reading forums and searching Google News for the latest articles/reviews.
Last night I was fiending enough to bust out the OG Xbox to play a little Morrowind. Now, it has probably been at least five years since I so much as turned on that machine, and even longer since I played my last run-through of that game. Looking at the footage I've seen from Skyrim, it's damn amazing how far things have come since then.
I had also forgotten about that OG Xbox controller. I bought my Xbox on launch day, and I still had that big-ass chunky controller. At the time I had gotten so used to it that I could hardly use a Playstation controller. Now that I own a PS3 it's the reverse, and I finally came to realized how fucking huge that thing was. I played with it for about twenty minutes, and the thumbsticks and triggers creaked and moaned like the floorboards in an old house. I finally dug out the more reasonable (and less worn) S controller that I had stashed away and put in a good four hours.
On the one hand, part of me is a little sad that they have pared down some of the options for the way you equip and develop your character. Diminishing number of skills, diminishing types of weapons and spells, etc. On the other hand I'm kind of excited about how I can develop my character in Skyrim. I hope it truly reflects what they're saying - that you become what you do in the game. I remember playing Oblivion over the past year and being so conscious of everything doing - hoping I was leveling efficiently enough. On the one hand I like to think about those things while I'm playing the game - that's part of what makes RPGs interesting. On the other hand, I don't want that to preoccupy me from the game itself. I think Oblivion did that to some extent, and I hope Skyrim strikes a better balance.

What sucks even worse is that I'm going to have the game in hand on Friday, and won't be able to play that much. I don't want to miss the first b-ball game of the season vs. Wright State (alma maters clash!), the next day I'm going to the football game in West Lafayette, and the day after I have family visiting.
My birthday is Nov. 16. I took the day off so I'll be able to get started in earnest that day. After that, it's going to be slim pickings again until mid-December. I'll be off work from Dec. 16 - Jan. 3, and I ain't doing shit except Skyrim and bowl games.
