If you're anything like one Justin McElroy, you thoroughly enjoyed the long walk in the woods that was The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. In fact, you'd go as far as saying it was the best game ever created. Unfortunately, the news of the game's expansion, Shivering Isles, arriving on the PlayStation 3 next month won't be of much use to you. Let's face it, the chances of you wiggling out of that straitjacket by November 20th aren't particularly good. It's just as well, really, since Shivering Isles rolls around screaming in the subject matter of insanity and delirium and would likely prove upsetting to you.
Not quite as upsetting: Though Bethesda will be forgoing the download route it initially took with the Xbox 360 version, the price of the PS3's expansion disc is similarly set to $29.99.

hmm I guess Bethesda feels they have a better chance of selling more copies of the game if they just sold it at stores instead of through sony's online serice.

I find it odd particularly since the GOTY edition including this is right around the corner.

Not odd at all. For people that just want the expansion, they can save money.

I'd rather have a disc and reciept than a tick next the to download (reference to XBLM) you might get it cheaper to, so its not all bad news.

My mom cares about her PS3. She loves using it as a media center at our home.

Waiting to get your RRoD system back? Trolling internet videogame blogs is almost as fun as actually playing videogames, isn't it?

I'm not mistaken in that the ps3 version of Oblivion is awesome? I'm going to remind a friend of mine that he can play another game than Warhawk.

Tell that McElroy guy that Portal is better.

You sir, are pot high. Oblivion was the best I've ever had, and I've had 'em all over the world!

Don't forget. Shivering Isles is impossible on PS3. It must be true, I read it on the internet (including joystiq!).
I swear, people will believe anything if it helps them justify their console purchase.

Apparently everything's impossible until it happens in the gaming world, such as Sonic in SSB, Rumble in the Sixaxis, and let's not forget MS actually admitting they had faulty hardware.

They have. It's called the Game of the Year Edition and includes Oblivion, Knights of the Nine, and Shivering Isles.

BTW, you used 4 question marks on a stupid question which means that your question is "4 x stupid = retarded with crayons up your nose kind of stupid"
