As usual, Australia is a little behind the curve. The good news is Ubisoft has snapped up the Oz distribution rights for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion – Game of the Year Edition (which includes Shivering Isles). Bad news is we’ll be waiting until December for it, and we don’t have a specific date or pricing info. What we do have are two screenshots.
