Greetings. Newbie here...

I thought the game wasn't scheduled to be released until March 20th, but just now I received an email from USPS Shipping Services that a package is being sent to me today. Could this be correct?



If it's true I'm very happy, but with only 2 small issues:
1. It will probably take a week or more to reach Norway.
2. This Saturday I'm going away on a two week holiday...

Sure you didn't order something else too, it can be something wrong with the shippers, if not, your a very lucky man.

Jeg skal dra ned på spiderman og kjøpe det den 24. rett etter skolen

Please post only in english in the future
Thanks

Hei, en nordmann!

I haven't ordered anything else from there or from the US for that matter. I've had a look on the official forum and see that many others have received the same confirmation mail.

Wonder if I should cancel my trip to Gran Canaria?

Edit: Sorry didn't see the language warning until after I posted. What I said was "Hey, a Norwegian!".

Ummm... according to that its shipping from a place less than a half mile from my house! Maybe I should go knock and ask for a copy

It's a mailbomb, to promote the new GTA.

There are more "Nords" than expected in this forum.


Cool, they have a secret headquarter near your house. You could make your morrowind pc go kill'em all and loot the place

Just wondering, although it has probably been discussed many times here before: What will happen to this site now that the game is out? Will it be closed? Or renamed to 'Waited4Oblivion' or something?

Please do not post off-topic questions in a thread, as it is considered spam. Also, because there is only 6 more days until the release of Oblivion, we keep away from discussing the new name. It'll be a suprise that will come with your game.

Bah. What am I supposed to say now?

Meany. But, yeah, what he said

There is something you should see below...

Last time I checked Besthesta made Oblivion, not Rockstar.
Sorry to burst your bubble.

My apologies about the off-topic post!



Well I can't see what else it could be. Haven't ordered something from the US in years, and the confirmation mail I got when I pre-ordered was from Take 2 Interactive. Maybe they do P&P for both those companies?

Well I can tell you that the address that is located is an area filled with warehouses and distribution centers... I suppose it is possible that the address was created in the USPS database when they first registered there. Maybe it was first used to help distribute GTA..

Possible theory only on that...

Also you might want to check your email again... it sounds like others on the official forums got response emails now saying that it was a mistake.

Rockstar and Take Two are pretty much the same company...
Take Two are publishing... but this could still be a mistake...
Maybe they're using templates from the GTA:SA rush on their Oblivion e-mails.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Actually I'm hoping it's a mistake since I'm going away for 2 weeks this Saturday, although I have ordered a service now involving the Norwegian postal service taking care of my mail until I return (but how well can you trust them wiith an interesting package lying about?).

Have not received a new mail saying it was a mistake yet though. Maybe they ship it to europe since it takes a while to get here, but cancel shipments to the US?

Anyway I know that games are often available long before release date. I have a friend working in a games store, and he says that they often receive games weeks before release date, but of course they're not allowed to start selling it until the official date.

Either way it's nice to have a confirmation that the game is actually finished and packed. Another year now, and it should be fully patched into working condition...

Hello again.

I guess all of you have gotten Oblivion by now, but I just wanted to confirm that it was indeed the game that was being sent to me about 3 weeks ago.

Just came back from my holiday and found a slip in my mailbox from the customs office asking me to give permission to do a customs inspection of the package. I'll have to sign and return the slip before I receive then game, but at least it's good to know there is a collector's edition of Oblivion waiting for me.

Congratulations on the new site, by the way!

Wow, you actually got to post something here before getting OB, how is that possible
