During our liveblog of the Microsoft E3 press conference, Andrew reported on new Portal content for the Xbox 360 as the room erupted with cheers.

11:21 am: GladOs introduces Portal: Still Alive, with new, more challenging levels. And it’s coming out this year to Xbox Live Arcade. Sweet! Hearty applause.

I have a feeling that many of those cheers have now turned into jeers. The new Portal: Still Alive Xbox 360 content, teased by the voice of GlaDOS at E3, is apparently nothing more than a map pack port from the PC version of the game.

The Flash Version MapPack made its debut on the PC as a free download based on the maps created by Hen Mazolskiv, a fan of the game. This content is essentially being repackaged as “Still Alive” for the 360, and sadly will not offer any continuation of the plot.
