I play Oblivion on the Xbox360. Visually - yes, that LOD can...lessen the majesty of some of the screen shots. Some. Not all.
As for the "bugginess". I have to call you on that. I've had it crash ZERO times on the Xbox.
When I played it on the PC, I had horrible problems that were due to bad drivers and crappy hardware. Once I fixed both of those problems, the only crashes I had were GPU heat related. Fix that problem, no crashes. The thing about some of these modern games is that they stress the hardware by asking it to perform according to spec. If the DirectX API says I can do A and expect B, then it's not the developers fault when the sound drivers pukes all over it. Especially when the driver is not "certified".
