360 Oblivion content half off, 'Horse Armor' more expensive photo

To celebrate April Fools' Day, Bethesa has announced that for the next week all downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is on sale for half price. So that means you can pick up things like "Knights of the Nine" for 400 MS Points or "The Vile Lair" for 75 MS Point. 

But if you want the legendary "Horse Armor" DLC, you're going to have to spread your wallet a little further. In honor of the upcoming third anniversary release of the content (April 3), Bethesda has doubled the price. That's right, now what has become a running joke in the industry as a way not to do DLC will cost you 400 MS Points for the next week. Why? Because it's funny. Oh, and you weren't going to buy it anyhow. (But I wonder how many people actually will?)

With all of the reported issues with the Fallout 3 "The Pitt" DLC, now might be a good time to revisit Cyrodiil. You can grab the content through your console or the online Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

What makes me laugh is there are people out there dissing others who bought it calling them retards and what not yet secretly to thier own shame bought it themselves. I'ld agree with the berating of the Horse Armor Pack if it was released like last week but truth is it was one of the 1st pieces of DLC for a AAA title that everyone was playing on 360 because they had little else that was awesome as Elder Scrolls IV back then.

The unfortunate thing is that Bethesda will most likely sell a good amount of these even after they double the price.

Hahahahaha, well done, beth.

The horse armour was an example of how to experiment with DLC - I mean, how much is 200 of MS' moon dollars, anywho?

I'll probably download Knights of the Nine, seeing as I've done nearly everything else in oblivion. Does anybody recommend the vile lair or should I skip it?

If you're immersed in the world of Oblivion, Vile Lair is "ok". The Wizard's Tower is the best "haven" in my opinion.

The only thing the Vile Lair really has that's cool is:
The Font of Renewal, where a player may purge himself of Vampirism

@ Magnalon-

Agreed, the Wizard's Tower is awesome, especially if you're into alchemy at all.
