Shivering Isles Hits the PlayStation Network

Bethesda’s Ashley Cheng stopped by the company’s blog to announce that PlayStation 3 owners can now purchase and download the Shivering Isles expansion for Oblivion on the PlayStation Network. Basically, this just means that you don’t have to leave the comfort of your recliner to go buy the Game of the Year Edition or the Shivering Isles retail disc.

Please note Shivering Isles requires the Oblivion PS3 disc to play. In fact, you can even use the Oblivion Game of the Year PS3 disc too – though, if you own Oblivion Game of the Year (GOTY), you already have Shivering Isles, so don’t purchase Shivering Isles off PSN if you have GOTY. The version of Shivering Isles on PSN is exactly the same as the version in GOTY. I promise.

Getting Shivering Isles to work as downloadable content on the PS3 via PSN (and as a standalone disc!) was a challenging task. Thanks to our technical director, Guy Carver, who did the bulk of the implementation himself. Also thanks for Chris Krietz, our QA Lead, and his group of terrific testers – those guys have been playing the same game in all its iterations for close to two years now.
