Good deal for anyone who isnt sure if they like Elder Scrolls.
Thats probably less money than most of you guys spend on Mountain Dew in a week.
GET IT!

Ok... so how about someone lists some good mods for all those of us who bought the game? 
I'm finding it easier on pc than on the 360 so will keep at it this time. I had sold my Xbox copy after playing maybe a week.

Grind away doing the same things endlessly. I liked wandering and sightseeing better than the main storyline by far.
As you can tell, I am not a big fan. Everyone I know quit playing it within two months of release. There was one story arc, the assassain one, (Dark Brotherhood?) that was pretty amusing, apparantly written by the fellow who did the Thief games. I'd play that, then hang it up til there's a good total conversion.
Massively overhyped game, and the one that convinced me to never buy Bethesda games for over $10. Still, it is a deal, and if you want to get your feet wet, this won't hurt your wallet as much.

I saw that earlier today. It's tempting, but I bought the Morrowing GOTY a couple years back and played it for a few weeks and then lost interest. I guess I find the Neverwinter Nights style to be more interesting.

I don't buy soft drinks.
Plus I already have Oblivion GOTY.
Yes, I came in just to say that.
Vanilla Oblivion is massively overhyped. Modded Oblivion is still one of the best games available today.
I HIGHLY suggest trying the vanilla game first (no mods). Play until you get bored and get a general feel for things. Then, install the following mods and try again. Please note that I have not tested all of these mods myself, but have heard good things about all of them.
Obscuro's Oblivion Overahaul 1.33. It changes a LOT of aspects of the game - for instance, you no longer start with the option to fast travel to all different towns, and monsters no longer level up with you; some monsters start out weak, some start out very strong. It generally makes the game much harder but far more rewarding. Most consider this one a must.
Oblivion XP. Does away with the vanilla leveling system (using skills to eventually level up and increase certain attributes +1 to +5 points based on which skills were used) and adds an EXP-based leveling system like most RPGs.
Qarl's Texture Pack. Higher resolution textures for many areas of the game. Generally makes things look prettier.
DarkUI. Replaces the bright tan UI with a darker red color. Much easier on the eyes after crawling through a dark dungeon and having to stop to open your inventory.
Toggleable Quantity Prompt. Tired of the "How Many?" box that pops up each time you sell something? This allows you to skip that by holding Ctrl (sell 1) or holding Shift (sell entire stack) when selling something.
Quest Award Leveler. If you get a quest item very early on, the stats will be balanced for your low level. With this, your quest reward items' stats level up with you, so you don't have to save certain quests until much later in the game just to get better item stats.
Alternate Start. This mod skips the beginning tutorial (very boring) and allows you to start the game in several different ways, each with a different background.
The Lost Spires. Free quest content; what more needs to be said?
Deadly Reflexes. Adds combat movies and some physics based combat stuff. Pretty cool and pretty gory.
There are TONS of other mods, many of which enhance graphics, spells, items, sounds, etc. I highly suggest installing a few of the ones listed above and giving it a whirl.

nGCD (Better way of handling leveling)
There's an "A Takes It All" out there... i couldn't find it (when you have a container open, pressing A does the take all)
Qarls Texture Redux for better textures
Mida's Magic for the mages, tons of new spell types.
Advanced Mark and Recall Brings back mark and recall
Oh and Oblivion Mod Manager is a must if you want to handle mods easier
