I would get BF3 for sure. The single player of skyrim might be better, and the game itself may run more smoothly - but at the end of the day, you'll be playing BF3 for the next couple of months (maybe even years). Skyrim on the other hand will last you a week or two. Unless you're one of those people that plays it over and over again with different difficulties.
I'm thinking about just getting skyrim, I like the fact that I can play it over and over and would most likely beat it one month and then a couple months later play again differently.
I can see with Battlefield going through repetition. Plus, I just bought for 20 bucks a slot on someones account and got about 20 games downloaded so I'm set anyways.
