I have to admit - I overlooked connecting my XBOX 360 to the internet for more than a year, which changed this morning when I ran an ethernet cable through the wall of my office into the library/den/game room on the other side.
I didn't need it online, because most of my games are RPG or other stand alone games.
The Elderscrolls OBLIVION (IV) the game of the year (GOTY) Edition has only the Knights of the Nine, and Shivering Isles with it -
BUT!
If you have your XBOX 360 Console connected to the internet, what you do is start the game, and from the LOAD screen select OPTIONS and then DOWNLOADS. The list of what you already have will come up - and the option to search for or VIEW MORE CONTENT...
Select that...
The console will go direct to Bethesda Software's downloadables for Oblivion, where you will see all kinds of goodies MOSTLY for $1.88 +tax US...
YOU DO NOT NEED XBOX LIVE GOLD to do this!!!
These include :
Fighters Stronghold
Wizards Tower
Spell Books that you can find in dungeons
Thieves Den
Horse Armor, and several others
Most of them are only two bucks after tax, and the downloads are fast!
Some of the files are several megabytes, others only a few hundred K.
You can choose either a paypal account, or a regular credit or debit card for the purchase(s)
*I got them all
Some of the downloads are free too - so if your XBOX is connected online, you don't need to miss out on what are some serious cool stuffezzz here, and if you DID NOT EVEN KNOW about these add-ons, GO LOOK!!!
I'm not kidding, I heard about them online and was going nutz trying to figure out how to get them.
NOW WE ALL KNOW!
Moderators - feel free to copy and include some or all of this info in the locked thread that I saw about the Elderscrolls Anthology, or/either make this post a 'sticky' post at the top of the message forum ~Thx
For those of you who "OBLIVIONATE" on the XBOX - your world is about to get a LOT bigger!
