    Anyone know if they're available in Ireland (am I being stupid and just can't find the menu?). If not anybody know why we don't get them and if there's any chance we will in the near future?

    Licensing reasons on indie published games? What a load of ballox. There's no excuse especially considering they are available in the UK.

    Is there anything we can do about this, who do we talk to? Who's idea was it to not allow the games to be published? I would really love to have people play my game!!! Any links to information regarding this?

    Well you can sell your game from Ireland, but we can't play it (yet).
    It sucks, because there are some fantastic titles out there.

    Is it possible to change to a UK account to buy them? Or can I create a new silver UK account on the console? Does Live check the IP address I'm connecting from or can I just tell it I'm in the UK?

    I don't think that it's as much to do with licencing, because there's really no major licencing required. You make the game, publish it and they will take their cut.

    More likely it is that they are waiting to see how popular it gets before they start rollign out the infrastructure to host mirrors of the servers that these games are published on.

    Quite why the UK get it and we don't it perplexing though, as most of our content is received from there.
