Rockville (MD) - Bethesda Softworks today announced that it has begun shipping a new version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion for the PS3 and The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles for the Xbox 360.

Oblivion has been out on multiple platforms for a while, and has been available for the PS3 since March.  The new addition to Sony's console is the Game of the Year Edition, which packs in additional content.  One of the game's notable points is its voice actor list, which includes Patrick Stewart, Sean Bean, Terrance Stamp, and Lynda Carter.

Shivering Isles, which was released today on the Xbox 360, gives players a new planet to explore, as well as new characters, spells, and attacks.  Bethesday says it brings more than 30 hours of gameplay to the story mode.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition came out last month on the Xbox 360.  Microsoft's platform has been the first non-PC console to receive each Elder Scrolls title so far.  Bethesda has not yet announced if it plans to bring Shivering Isles to the PS3.

The PS3 GOTY Edition has a list price of $60, while Shivering Isles retails for around $30.

Um, you're a bit behind.

Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine have been available as an XBOX Live! / XBOX 360 download for many months now. BTDT. Now if Bethesda would fix some of the many errors and glitches the 360 version has, that would be great. Been trying to finish the Theives Guild quests for a long time but on the last quest item, when I give the ring to the Countess, POOF! you're in limbo unable to move. Bethesda's answer? Start the game over and concentrate only on that quest. BS! With over 400 hours of time played and nearly as many saves, I don't think so. Great game, but if you want everything fixed you'll have to play the PC version.
