The PS3’s great graphics owe much to the fact that the console is plugged into the Gateway monitor’s DVI port (via an HDMI to DVI cable), which provides considerably sharper graphics over the Xbox 360’s VGA connection. Right away I noticed two things: Sharper graphics and much faster load times. Though Shivering Isles and most of the other downloadable goodies are not yet available for the PlayStation 3 version of “Oblivion,” Bethesda says those add-ons will come later this year. Though I miss the living room setup, I don’t mind the closer, cozier arrangement of sitting before the monitor in a comfortable, reclining leather office chair with sidearms for resting my elbows while working the wireless controller.Ĭurious about the other platforms, I turned to the PS3 version of “Oblivion” and created a new character and game.

My living situation has since changed, and now a Gateway 24” HDTV widescreen monitor pulls quad-duty connected to my Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Windows Vista PC in my bedroom. Sure, PCs can connect to HDTVs, but do I really want my PC in the living room? My initial experience with the 360 version was pleasant, thanks in large part to one of the biggest pluses consoles have over PCs: The ability to play crashed out on the sofa in the living room or den before a huge, widescreen HDTV. With a more focused main quest I have vowed to stick with it until completion (an estimated 50+ plus hours), and then return to the main game’s main and side quests (an estimated 250+ hours of play). I was drawn to the fact that the expansion takes place on a single island that becomes discoverable after installation.

So I put “Elder Scrolls” aside for a long stretch, only to return to it a few weeks ago, when the first full expansion pack, “Shivering Isles,” became available for purchase in stores and for download from Xbox Live.
