IIRC, MS increased the 360's RAM to 512 after Epic poked them over it. I don't understand why people would get mad over unreal engine and others though; some of the best looking games run on UE and these engines lower the bar for market entry, enabling designers to concentrate on games rather than re-inventing the wheel.

Well to be fair it wasn't just Epic asking for more RAM, Bethesda were also pushing hard and their programers threw a party when MS doubled the RAM. In fact one of the leads said he had never seen some of the programmers happier than that day lol. I am sure there were others as well.

Haha, cool, I didn't know about that. So I have Microsoft to thank that the best game in the universe turned out just as it should be.
