    Hey all,
    Took the plunge yesterday and bought premium pack with oblivion and prey for 469 in Game. A very good deal.

    And I'm pretty happy with the situation. Oblivion is class and xbox live is well implemented... but I have two reservations.

    1) Is my console a refurb? It was bought brand new from Game. All boxed, bagged perfectly. Plastic clear stickers on everything. Yet, there is a tiny scrap where the power cable goes and there was two scratches UNDER the clear plastic that was on the cd drive tray door.

    2) Performance - in game its perfect. But video is not very smooth. eg. the intro to Oblivion is rubbish. It's jittery as hell. Ingame, it's rock solid though. Is this just the platform or could there be a problem?

    Now all I've got to do is find a way of hooking the 360 in my room to the wireless router downstairs. Mmmm.

    Cheers,
    Quad

    The into to Oblivion happens to every copy of the game that isn't being played in 60hz mode. Nothing to worry about there.

    Not sure about your other problem though.

    And when Oblivion starts taking longer between loading screens in a day or so thats not because of your machine either, just hold down the A buttoon whilst the game is loading up and it will clear the cache from the HD and you should be OK again for a while.
