The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Collector's Edition - Xbox 360

Model: X360-SKYRIM
SKU: 3244621
UPC: 093155117730
SynopsisThe long-awaited and much-anticipated next installment of the award-winning The Elder Scrolls franchise is here. Now, the expansive, open world that forever revolutionized the face of the fantasy epic leads you deeper into the combat, the magic and the myth than you've ever been before. This time, you don't just play as a character, you truly become whomever it is you wish to be — and have the freedom to do anything you can possibly imagine. This follow-up to the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, offers stunning graphics and a gripping storyline that immerses you in the game from the moment you turn it on. Are you ready to unroll the Scroll and let the journey begin? Imagine rolling clouds, rugged mountains, bustling cities, lush fields and crumbling dungeons. Imagine ancient dragons beholding secrets so powerful they could transform your future. Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim immerses you in the engrossing world of the franchise you already know and love with more realism, more choice and more intensity than ever before. Featuring a new game engine that brings every tiny environmental aspect to life in blistering detail and AI that brings you close to your allies — and your enemies — Skyrim blurs the line between your world and that of the game. An all-new character engine opens wider an already vast virtual world, putting every decision, every action and every consequence entirely in your hands as you arm yourself with hundreds of new weapons, abilities and spells. This immaculate fifth chapter challenges your skills, immerses your mind and will forever change the way you view gaming. The Collector's Edition features a 12" statue of the World Eater, Alduin, perched atop a dragon wall so you can display your fandom. Peruse 200 pages of full-color illustrations, sketches and models with the in-depth The Art of Skyrim Official Art Book. This detailed coffee table book includes a foreword by game director Todd Howard and commentary from the Bethesda Game Studios artists, and details the characters, creatures, environments and weaponry of the game so you can know the story inside and out. Take a break from the action and get an insider's look into the story, gameplay, setting, legacy of the Elder Scrolls franchise and more with The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim documentary DVD. It's time to return. It's time for Skyrim.

I love all Bethesda games. And each time they seem to top the previous game. Skyrim is no exception either.

I'm not gonna sit here and go on a rant about how great this game is. I'll just say that I personally very much enjoy it, and haven't stopped playing since I got it.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Price
I bought the 150 Collector's Edition and also the standard copy to preserve my collector's edition for the XBox 360. I have to say this is one of the best games ever....loved Fallout and New Vegas own those collector's editions and Game of the Year Editions as well as Oblivion Game of the Year although Oblivion is nothing compared to Skyrim. I was hoping the graphics were a ten but I still give them a solid 8.5 or so. In any event Skyrim is sweet!

What's great about it: Gameplay, Graphics, Duel wielding
What's not so great: Dragon statue, I have to work
The game itself is amazing, apparently there are infinite quests which blows my mind, or will bore it until i get MW3. The statue is decent quality plastic, and looks good, but you have to sit the dragon on top of the wall. Thats it. nothing secures it it just kind of sits there. On the upside, the art book is great, and looks really good, going through the races, monsters, environments, its great. I know i just threw out so many greats, but it is. If you're not into art or cheap dragon statues, get the regular edition the gameplay is amazing. Then buy halo.

If you are advertising a product for such a steep price as $149.99, then you should absolutely say what is included in the product description. This comes directly from Bethesda:
"In addition to including the highly-anticipated game, this premium version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim also includes:
Alduin Statue. Created in conjunction with the IP Factory, this collector’s only statue stands 12” tall and is made of high quality PVC. Modeled from actual in-game 3D digital files, it showcases Alduin, the World Eater. He stands perched atop one the game’s many dragon walls that teach the player the lethal language of dragons.
‘The Art of Skyrim’ Official Art Book. Featuring over 200 pages of striking, full-color illustrations, sketches and models, this stunning 9 3/8” x 12 1/8” coffee table book showcases the characters, creatures, environments, and weaponry of Skyrim. With a foreword by game director Todd Howard and commentary from Bethesda Game Studios artists, readers will be guided through the game’s iconic visual style.
‘The Making of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’ DVD. This documentary DVD contains exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage, including interviews with the Bethesda Game Studios team as they take you from concept to creation and provide insights into the story, gameplay, setting, legacy of the Elder Scrolls franchise, and much more."
