Under condition of anonymity, sources revealed to 1UP that the file size for Xbox Live Arcade titles has been increased from 50 MB to 250 MB and with Microsoft’s approval, that size can be expanded to 450 MB. When asked for comment on the reported change to file size, Microsoft said, “We do not comment on rumor and speculation and so we can not confirm that rumor.

This is a big deal to anyone with an Xbox 360. Microsoft already confirmed that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was over the limit, but that it was an exception. Hopefully, Microsoft will officially announce this move soon and it won’t be the exception. It would definitely be awesome to see more games like SOTN be released on Xbox 360. It would at least help tempt me to buy the system. It seems that people who bought Core systems better buy the hard drive, or possibly wait for a 256 or 512 MB memory card to be released if they want to download certain games in the future. But everyone should have realized that was the “tard pack” anyway, so if someone was stupid enough to buy it, too bad.
