Everyone here knows by now that Shivering Isles is coming out on disk 10/16 for the 360 (packed with Knights of the Nine by the way, save $10!), but will it be played like a standalone expansion by itself? I want to be able to select it from the Oblivion add-on menu like other content, but I don't think this will be possible if it's on a separate disk. If anything, I'd like to be able to upload it from the disk onto my hard drive so I CAN select it from the add-on menu. Does anyone know if this will be possible? I wish BETHESDA would throw us a freakin' bone with it coming out soon and let us know how it will work.

And NO, I don't want to download it from Live, I'd rather spend my money on a physical backup of what I've bought.

My guess is that this disk will just allow you to basically download SI and KOT9 to your Xbox without using XBL. If you didn't know, KOT9 takes place in Cyrodiil so this retail disk can't just be a stand alone expansion. Furthermore, you can only get to SI though a portal that has opened in Cyrodiil so that' more proof that this isn't a stand alone expansion. You probably will never have to put the disk into your Xbox again once it's updated your Xbox with the new content.

i doubt they would let you download it more than once maby twice other wise someone would but it then give it all to their mates to download. It wouldent make sence.

Its the same one as the Bonus disc two from the GOTY edition. It can be re-downloaded as many times as yo wish. Thats why no other mods were added in, so it could cut down on money lost over Xbox Live and stuff.

The disc is ONLY Knights of the nine, and Shivering isles. All the other mods are cut out, forcing you to buy them separate.
