The Target in Chesterfield, MO had about 8 of them when I went during my lunch break today, though it looked like there had been more earlier in the day. That said, there are only about 7 now:)
Well, your machine will probably run it at the same quality/speed that Oblivion would display on a 360 hooked up to a normal, run-of-the-mill SDTV at 480i. Now, for everyone talking about how a computer that can run Oblivion at the equivalent of 720p would cost more than a 360, what about the TV that can display that resolution? Buying an HDTV to take full advantage of the 720p/1080i resolutions is going to immediately add close to $1000 (or more). I've got a 20" CRT monitor that can do a similar resolution and it cost $21, I doubt that you'll find a TV that can do that for less. Sure, the 360 can be hooked up to a plain VGA monitor, but why would you want to do that when you can sit back and enjoy it on a 45" LCD-TV at 1080i?
And yes, Xbox Live IS free, so long as you don't plan on doing any multiplayer gaming on it (Silver membership).

Perhaps you should try outrunning a black horse...
