I first bought it in December 2011 for PS3.
Bought it again in December 2012 for Xbox 360 and downloaded all the DLC.
Bought all DLC for PS3 version in March 2013.
Bought Legendary edition for PS3 in June 2013.
And finally bought and downloaded a 67% discounted version via Xbox live marketplace only last week (July 2014).
If I had a PC instead of this netbook, then I would probably start this madness all over again.

Bought used X360 plain vanilla edition in summer 2012.
Bought new Anthology edition for PC a few months ago. Still haven't played Skyrim on PC. Been playing Oblivion on PC instead.
Plan to buy the Legendary Edition for X360 in the near future.

I bought it on 11-11-11 for the Xbox 360 with all it's DLC then I bought it like 6 months later for the PC with it's expansions as well.

I spent a ton of $ on the game but damn was it worth it.

I bought it like a month after it originally came out and I later bought the legendary edition soon after it came out, as well (mostly since I don't have the internet to download the dlcs. Plus, discs are useful)

If I had a gaming PC I would probably rebuy the legendary version, though.

I've still only purchased it once when I preordered it as soon as it was available back in 2011. Same goes for all the DLC, which I bought on the very day they were released. Steam is a wonderful thing.

I have Skyrim + heartfire + dragonborn on xbox and Skyrim's Legendary version on ps3.... No, you're not alone.

I've only bought it twice.
Once on PC back in December 2011. And then again on PS3 when the Legendary Edition was released. The PS3 purchase was more so I could have something to use my PS3 for since I didn't like any other game I had for it (Sims 3, something for Harry Potter, a Transformers game, and some racing game).

Bought it on 11/11/11 for PS3.
Bought it for the 360 (vanilla) in Feb 2012.
Bought it for PC (vanilla) in Nov 2012.
Bought the legendary edition for PS3 in March 2014

That's not an uncommon experience at all. For example, I've owned about ten separate editions of Oblivion.

Surprisingly, I only ever owned one copy of Skyrim, on the PC on launch day. I guess it goes hand in hand with getting rid of your consoles.

You're definitely not alone. I played this for the first time about a year after it first came out. Sold it once I completed the main quest. Went on hiatus for a while until I heard the DLC was finally being released for PS3. Finished said dlc's and sold it again. Fast forward until just recently when I bought a gaming PC. I bought the Anthology to try my hand at modding (it didn't go so well). Ended up buying the PS3 version AGAIN because some of the mods I installed screwed with my PC version of the game. I think I'll hang on to my PS3 copy from now on and leave the modding to the experts. That stuff is just too confusing for me.

Anyways, I have a grand total of 4 times I have bought this game.

Initially I got Skyrim as part of a package deal when buying my 360 (Jan 2013). Later I bought the Legendary Edition (for the 360), even though I had also bought all three DLCs separately.
Then, once it became certain I would have a gaming PC by early January this year, I bought the LE off the Steam Winter sale.

So, I've bought the game twice, or thrice if you count the package deal (I don't).

2 times here, when it first came out and then recently to get the DLC's,

just bought the game again (was cheaper and saved $15) instead of buying all 3 DL's,.

one think i found out, you can't change disks, you do and all DL stuff doesn't show up.

I as well own the complete version of Skyrim on two systems. My Xbox 360 has been done up piece by piece, bought Skyrim shortly after it came out (and an HDMI cable too,) and slowly got the DLC when they showed up.

After a long while, I actually bought the Legendary version of Skyrim for my laptop on Steam after getting the GOTY versions of Morrowind and Oblivion. I still play it far more then either of those two, unfortunately...

Depends on what you call "numerous". Namely, I bought the plain PC version (without DLCs etc) first to check the game out. Later I wanted the DLCs too, and went and bought the Elder Scrolls Anthology (for PC again). That was because I was also thinking about buying Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine for Oblivion, also, and the anthology set was some 20 euros cheaper than all the DLCs would have been singly bought. I already had Morrowind with expansions, so now I've basically bought the three latest titles two times.
