I would have to look up my older posts, but there was a user here who wanted to download Fable and wanted to know if a Premium was good enough to house a few games so I took the liberty of listing the XBox originals as well as their respective sizes. When I find the post I'll PM you the list if you want. I am pretty sure though they ranged from 1.5GB - 4.5GB.

While I know the XBox originals have no set limit I know XBLA does and I find it very difficult to compress a 1.5GB game into 350MB. You can't even get a PSP ISO that small from 1.5GB without ripping out audio and video. Has any game been compressed in this way yet?

This is the reason why I think he is either mixed up with the original Metal Gear or that this rumor is false. If they can somehow shrink it to that size without taking anything out however, I will gladly accept that I thought wrong.

It would be great for as many people as possible to play this great franchise.

BTW, if it is against the rules to mention ISO's in the way I did, I apologize.

I'm pretty sure I have a Myth rip somewhere that is about 150 meg with no speech. I'll check later and let you know.

MGS5 time exclusive for 360 confirmed!!

if 360 ever gets a port of MGS4 it should be called MGS4: Substandard coz that's how it will be.

@ Starcraft

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory - 5.5 GB.

That's 4 years of comp for ya. Exact same as DVD size.

Well there are no limits for XB originals, which is why they don't really bother to compress them. XBLA does have size limits.

There aren't as many XB originals on the JP XBL store, but the sizes range from 757MB to 5.9GB (Puyo Puyo Fever as the former and Ninja Gaiden Black as the latter)

now I wonder why everybody wants MGS... That game blows... and apparently even PS fan agree less and less buyer every time....

when people will start to understand they can see a movie for 7 bucks or less (and an actual good one) instead of paying 60 bucks for a game with slopy gameplay and you have to be honest a lame story if you compare it to the price of a movie ticket.... for usually a better plot and production...

am i the only one to see that ????

I wonder why people keep saying that MGS games are like movies. Sure, they may have a lot of cutscenes, but the writing is much more like the bastard child of an Alan Moore graphic novel and a couple random manga volumes.

Anyway, I don't see why there would be any significant demand for a 360 release of MGS4. As someone mentioned earlier in a rather poor attempt to denigrate 360 owners, most of us would rather be playing our games instead of watching them do their own thing. If I want what MGS has to offer, I have books that do a much better job of it. For gameplay, I'd much rather have a new Splinter Cell.

And speaking of Splinter Cell, I'd say Microsoft has high expectations for Conviction once it finally gets released, so I find it doubtful they'd draw attention to another stealth action franchise on their console via XBLA before Conviction has been released.
