*Like the original release, this is not available in Mexico, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy or Japan.

Doesn't sound like it's not available to Singapore. Maybe you're checking the Marketplace too early? I think they mean 22nd December North American's time.

Oblivion's expansion pack, Shivering Isles is going to be released tomorrow. It's estimated to have an additional 30-40 hours of gameplay.

Anybody's going to buy it? It's kinda expensive for me, 2400 MS Points (~ RM 103.58); Almost the price of a full version Asian Xbox 360 game.

I haven't even started the Mehrunes Razor quest that I downloaded for free last Christmas.

Anybody know if Shivering Isles will be available to Singapore Xbox Live member?

AFAIK, Shivering Isles Theme & Gamer Picture is not available in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore or Taiwan. Does this mean that Shivering Isles won't be available for download to Xbox Live accounts registered on the countries listed above?

Just checked Xbox Live Marketplace, even the trailer for Shivering Isles is not available in those countries.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Shivering Isles (Now Available)

Name: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Shivering Isles

Price: 2400 Points

Shivering Isles features more than 30 hours of new gameplay as you are sent to explore the realm of Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness.

Yay! It's available to Singapore Xbox Live Member after all.

I saw the expansion pack on Singapore Marketplace, the weird thing is they didn't mark is under "New Releases" so I couldn't found it under "New Releases". I have to go to "All Game Downloads -> Oblivion" before I could find it.

The bad thing is I only have 500 MS Points right now.

Oh, it'll be great if it's true.


Usually I'll start downloading demos before I go to bed, and by the morning it'll be done.

According to IGN, you need to rest your character for 24 hours before the island will appear.

@PJ. How long does it take for you to finish Shivering Isles? I'm considering purchasing the game if it's long enough.

For those who have purchased Shivering Isles, are you required to sign in into Xbox Live to play the expansion pack? Can you play Shivering Isles without signing into Xbox Live?

The reason I ask is because a friend of mine want to hand me his Xbox 360's HDD so I can access his Xbox Live account and download Shivering Isles to his HDD on my Xbox 360 console. He asks for my help because the connection at his place was pretty bad.

If I'm not mistaken, Xbox Live Arcade games have some security checks where Xbox Live Arcade games can only be played without signing to Xbox Live on the console where it is downloaded. If it was played on the console where the game was originally downloaded, then the gamer have to sign-in into Xbox Live with the account used to purchase the game every single time he wants to play.

Does this apply to Shivering Isles as well?

If you're required to sign-in to play Shivering Isles and can't play without signing-in, then I guess I can download it for him, because no matter on which console he's playing, he's still required to sign-in anyway. If he can play without-signing in, then I'll ask him to bring along his console.

I got that update last week. Yes, it's for fixing Shivering Isles bugs.
