interesting that it is an hardware limitation, and not a software limitation, also, 2Gigs for a game is pretty big, if their hitting that, then they should just make it into an actual disc game, rather than going for an XBLA game, or maybe think about doing some of the gfx's/effects in code rather than using images

2-3GB (and more in my opinion) for a digital download in this day and age is more than acceptable.

Agreed. Hell, F.E.A.R. on steam is a hefty 17GB (it includes the two expansions though) so I don't really mind big downloads.

Hardware limitation though? I call BS on that. It's unfathomable for a console to have a 2GB size limit when any Windows 32bit system can handle almost any filesize you throw at it....unless it's working with a FAT filesystem in which case it freaks out if the file's bigger than 4GB

For an Oddworld title, MS would be idiots to not grant an exception.

Unless it sucks ass... then watever

Normally, I'd chuckle and mock the 360's hardware, but I want as many people as possible to play this game, it's so damn awesome.

i'm not saying it isn't exceptable, just thinking that so much effort into a game, might be better to distribute it as an disc formatted game, also, if theirs a 2GB limit, why not change it into a digital download, sure their's not a physical version, but it wouldn't have to do any modification to the system.

Yes, but it's cheaper to distribute. It allows them to keep costs down.

I have no idea what you're saying in this part of your post.

very true.

i was referring to instead of throwing it up as an XBLA game, to instead put it as an digital download game, which has filesizes of at least 7GB's

There is no hardware limitation, it's a Microsoft policy limitation.
