I just recently started playing Oblivion again. I have a old version, not the GOTY edition. But I want the expansion packs.

My nephew has the GOTY edition and it was more or less just installing the expansions from the disk onto his harddrive. Would I be able to use his disk for the expansions or what? What would be the best/cheapest way for me to get the expansions.

Trade in your old version and fork out some cash for the GOTY edition.

try borrowing the GOTY edition from your nephew and see if it works. I remember when the Halo 2 Map Pack came out, you could trade around the disk

You know I've always wanted to see what would happen if you had the old copy and rented the GOTY one, saved in the Shivering Isles, and then went back to the save in the original copy.

hehe trust me..it works. i never played the game before so i went out to my local rental store and rented the goty version. i really liked it so i was going to buy the game. i went and downloaded the expansions from the goty i rented..and went out and bought the $30 game and the expansions work. its a lot less of a money eater.

I guess it could be some what considered stealing. But I dont know. This is the second copy of Oblivion I have owned on 360. Not to mention I own it on PC. I just know I want the expansion pack.

Just think of it as proactive redistribution of wealth.

simple way to find out, go round ur nephews and take ur oblivion. start it up on his console and see if it has the expansions. if it does then borrow his or rent it. you can always lend him ur copy while u have his if it works.

ive got the add on pack on a seperate disc for shivering ilses. and it basically does the same thing/. installs the addons then you never need the disc again . can definetally pass it on to friends etc and spread the joy
