What was once but rumours has now been confirmed. Oblivion will be released for the Playstation 3. The game is apparently a launch title for Sony's next console, meaning the game should be found in stores at or shortly after the release of the console. According to the announcement, the Playstation 3 version will include new content that is not present in the PC/XBox 360 version right now. Also, Elder Scrolls Travels: Oblivion, which is already available for mobile phones, will be released for the PSP sometime during the Spring of 2007 in both North America and Europe.

Oblivion was one of the reasons I got xbox. Will they release the knights of the nine in an update or soemthing?

Unknown for the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if this new faction eventually turns into an official mod.
