I thought the size limit on XBLA games was 350MB? Portal weighs in at 629MB, nearly twice as big. Have MS increased the limit or is this a 1 off special case??
Why is that a problem ?
Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
It isn't a problem for me, but MS don't make memory cards big enough to hold the game. Anyone without a HDD will be unable to play it, even those who got the free memory card are left out.
I think it's great that the limit is on the rise as it opens up a whole new range of game that can be released.
Mistershine, neither
They haven't lifted the limit, but it's not technically a once off thing either.
There are a fair few games over the size limit, the devs just have to ask nicely
They raised the limit for a few games... remember it use to be 50 megs
Interesting.
Very surprised that Valve pulled it off to get them to increase the limit that much. But that's good news for gamers.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Yes you are right, but the goal of MS is to go to HDD/internet distribution so ...

They can do whatever they want =)
Valve should be thrown in jail for not respecting the rules.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
Well, I am sure that the popularity of Portal allowed a little give in the limit. I wouldn't be surprised to see additional titles in the future be allowed the same, if the sales look good.
