A new developer’s diary from Pete Hines of Bethesda Softworks gives a glimpse at what will come for those who pre-order The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Those who pre-order the upcoming Xbox 360 game can expect the following:

• A world map
• Special packaging
• A bonus DVD with extra features, such as game screens, special artwork, and a special making-of documentary.
• A septim coin replica
• A pocket guide to the Empire, a 112-page book based on an actual book found in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is scheduled for a Q1 2006 release, but nothing more specific has been made public yet.
