This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PlayStation 3
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion revolves around a freely created hero exploring Cyrodiil, closing Oblivion Gates and combining guilds, dungeons, magic, weapons and dialogue in a chosen order; the Game of the Year edition adds Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine while the standard disc does not. Camera, controls, objectives and progression were checked separately for this PlayStation 3 version. The description therefore stays tied to the offered disc and does not silently add features from other consoles, remasters or sequels.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion builds its rhythm around a freely created hero exploring Cyrodiil, closing Oblivion Gates and combining guilds, dungeons, magic, weapons and dialogue in a chosen order; the Game of the Year edition adds Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine while the standard disc does not. New objectives bring the main systems together and gradually demand more awareness. You learn which actions, equipment, routes or choices fit a situation and immediately notice when timing or preparation can improve. This creates a clear campaign structure with room to practise techniques without leaving the boundaries of this PS3 edition.
This description covers the physical PlayStation 3 edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The disc and product title determine the edition. This older boxed game includes its original paper manual unless a product title explicitly says the booklet is missing. Codes, accessories and historical network features count only when demonstrably present and usable.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 3 games are European editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for PlayStation 3 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Bethesda Game Studios developed The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion; Bethesda Softworks released the PlayStation 3 edition on 27 april 2007. The project found its place in its genre through a freely created hero exploring Cyrodiil, closing Oblivion Gates and combining guilds, dungeons, magic, weapons and dialogue in a chosen order; the Game of the Year edition adds Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine while the standard disc does not. This physical version is treated as the original PS3 release, so later remasters, downloads and sequels are not attributed to the disc.
The release arrived in a generation where larger worlds, fixed storage and network services increasingly sat beside disc content. Campaign, local features and edition content are therefore separated from accounts, servers and loose codes. This keeps clear what historically belonged to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and what was a later or external provision.
The PlayStation 3 edition of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was checked separately for platform, product title, delivery and original instructions. Art direction, controls, saving and session structure were also reviewed in their release context. Historical online features are not promised as available; demonstrable solo and local disc content remains the baseline. This boundary prevents later technical changes or new editions from obscuring the game's original place in the PS3 catalogue.
