Official Oblivion Patch for Xbox 360, PC Versions
1up reports that Bethesda will be releasing Oblivion’s first official patch for both the PC and the Xbox 360 versions of the game. Joystiq elaborates, stating that “PC users will get the patch via normal outlets, while Xbox 360 owners will get their patch via Xbox Live and other, unspecficied means (chief of PR Peter Hines mentioned looking into bundling the update with the Official Xbox Magazine).” This is the sure-fire way to remedy the many minor (and a few major) glitches with Oblivion.
