Microsoft increase file size for Xbox 360 arcade titles?

[Steven W]

Rumour - Following the news that Castlevania will weigh in at 96MB, Microsoft have apparently scrapped the 50MB cap on downloadable files and increased it to 250MB.

This has been inevitable and is bound to happen once the new memory cards are released. The current memory cards offer 64mbs of storage and the current 50mb Live Arcade limit allows for the titles to be stored and transferred via memory card, makes sense.

At some stage this year, they'll be releasing newer memory cards. Whilst originally thought to be 256mb memory cards, it's now being rumoured that they could end up being 512mb cards.

The future limit for Arcade titles will depend on these upcoming cards. It would then make sense for Microsoft to increase the size limit for downloadable games as they'll still be saveable and transferable.
