Game News - Shivering Isles on DVD for Xbox 360

Bethesda Softworks released in March the first expansion for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the PC and Xbox 360. While the PC version of Shivering Isles was sold for $29.99, Bethesda chose to offer the Xbox 360 version exclusively as a digital download for 2,400 Microsoft points ($30). This posed a bit of a problem for many Xbox 360 owners, however, as Shivering Isles occupies nearly 1GB of hard drive space, and according to GameSpot's review, isn't exactly an afternoon affair to get through.

That issue has now been addressed, as Bethesda Softworks announced it would be releasing the Xbox 360 version of Shivering Isles to retail this October. The Xbox 360 retail version will also include the Knights of the Nine add-on pack, which debuted on Xbox Live in November for 800 Microsoft points ($10). The disc, which includes both the expansion and add-on, will be sold for $29.99.
Shivering Isles expands Cyrodiil's reaches with a new plane of Oblivion. The quest-driven expansion lets players explore the warped home of the Prince of Madness, and it introduces new items, ingredients, and spells into the original game. Likewise, the Knights of the Nine add-on further explores the Elder Scrolls lore, and it adds a new faction, as well as new quests.

Like Oblivion, Shivering Isles is rated M for Mature. Like it was announced at this year's E3 Media and Business Summit, the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year edition will be available next week for the PC and Xbox 360, and will include the original game, Shivering Isles, and Knights of the Nine. It will be sold for $59.99 on the Xbox 360 and $49.99 on the PC.
