Bethesda has announced that Shivering Isles, the expansion to the life-owning RPG Oblivion, will soon be making its retail debut. Previously available only as a download on Xbox Live Marketplace, the retail disc will offer up both the Shivering Isles expansion as well as another piece of downloadable content, Knights of the Nine. As we've reported before, Shivering Isles offers dozens of hours of additional gameplay with new areas, items, spells, enemies, and ingredients. The disc is set to hit retailers next month. No price has been set at this time, but we imagine the pricing will be on par with the downloadable version.
If you've yet to step into the world of Oblivion, you might want to wait until the Game of the Year Edition ships this month. The GOTY Edition includes

Wasn't an expansion disc an "impossibility" for the 360 version?

I'd like to correct a mistake in the story - the GotY edition will NOT include all downloadable content. Reference the official website (http://www.elderscrolls.com/games/obgoty_faq.html):
DOES IT INCLUDE ALL OF THE OBLIVION DLC?
Oblivion GotY includes the original game plus Knights of the Nine and the Shivering Isles expansion

Always do. It's the easiest way to get maximum airflow. Remember, 6 inches on all sides.

YEah, MS did have an issue with expansion discs coming out. That's why Activision said they couldn't release Guitar Hero Rocks the 80s on 360 because of that rule. Perhaps they'll be able to now!
