Shivering Isles is now available

[John Beaulieu]

Its out on the US marketplace so I assume its on the UK one. Weighs in at just under 1 gig.

[Charlie]

Just checked the UK marketplace and it's not up yet. What time is Live going down for maintenance today?

Edit: It is up, but, strangely, couldn't find it under 'New Releases'. I had to load Oblivion and then check for downloadable content for it to show.

[VR46]

Live is down 8am to 10pm (UK time) today

[EvilBoris]

Can anybody tell me, does either the download version of the disc version require the full game?

I assumed it did, but I seem to be getting conflicting info

[Brats]

The full game of Oblivion is round 6.5 gig, so the download cannot be the full version of the game.

I thought the 360 version was download only?

[EvilBoris]

I think you may be right, I don't know where I've got that from :S

[Charlie]

Yup, the 360 version is a digital download only and unavailable outside the Microsoft marketplace and, yes, it requires the full game to run.

[AaronBekir]

yeah as far as im aware it does, there is no disc version for the 360, the disc version is for pc only.

They really did pick the worst possible time to kill Xbox Live...! Wish I had grabbed this before the off switch was flicked.

Anyone know what time the servers will be back up? Around 9 or 10pm BST?

Keep you updated here

OT, I cannot believe this is out already. Has anyone been able to get the extra achievements for this yet?

I think I'm going to re-start (yet again) with Shivering Isles. I'm stuck as a vampire still from my last save after having abandoned it for weeks and losing track of where I am.

Meh. I feel I'm never going to get back into the groove with Oblivion.

then 30+ hours will just disappear

Lolz. I've probably put over an amount of time greater than what I had before my original hissy fit with Oblivion trying to get into the damn thing. That's the trouble with epic games like this, as much as they offer, it's so easy to loose the thread with it and the whole sense of momentum you had in terms of how it gripped you to begin with. Though I suppose you can say that with anything big.

What I like about Shivering Isles (from what little I've seen of it) is that it seems like The Elder Scroll's Majora's Mask. I like vivid fantasy worlds that stray off from the norm in an Alice in Wonderland feel.

If you have points to spare and can't be bothered with the very long winded vampire cure you could buy the Vile Lair expansion. It contains a fountain/pool thing which cures vampirism with a single click.

I've only recently got back into Oblivion and I'm loving it again. Still the best game on the 360 I think.

You've not played Morrowind then?
