Spartan_X Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Shivering Isles Sets You Back 2400 MS Points Bethesda have announced the release date and price for Oblivion's Shivering Isles expansion: March 27 (that's for PC and 360), USD$30 (2400 MS points). That's a lotta clams, especially for 360 owners when you put it in context. It's double what you'd have paid for Lumines, which used to be the most exorbitant thing on Xbox Live. Then again, Lumines isn't a reported 30 hours worth of gameplay. Unless you're completely wasted. What do you lot think? Me, I'm calling it a little on the steep side. $25 might have made a sweeter proposition. Source: Kotaku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadFerIt Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Ouch.. Really steep. It was a must-buy for me until this.. I'll have to wait for a few reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dnast Subscriber² Posted March 10, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted March 10, 2007 I saw that a couple of days ago somewhere else. It's funny that the packaged retail PC version costs the same. $25 probably would've been the better price for a downloadable expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xerxes Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 (edited) I think it's cheap, considering what your getting, it's an complete expansion not some small addon or additional quests. What I'm more concerned about is how big is it? (i.e. how much space will it take up on the 360 HDD?) Edited March 10, 2007 by Xerxes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dnast Subscriber² Posted March 10, 2007 Subscriber² Share Posted March 10, 2007 If I was buying a hard copy at a store then $30 would be fine. It being a download-only (AFAIK) expansion for the same price makes it not so much a definite buy. It's not ruled out by any means, but now I want to know a lot more about the expansion before I go and buy it. I'd also like to know how big it will be.
