______Q: And you're upping the size of Xbox Live Arcade games as well to 350 megabytes?

David Edery:

Yeah, it's a steady progress. We've been listening to our partners, listening to our customers to try and get a feel for what's right. We don't want the size limit to hit the roof because we think there's some value in promoting small pick and play experiences that don't cost USD
20 million, it's good for the ecosystem.

Obviously, this should please those developers looking for more space for their titles, but those gamers stuck with the Xbox 360's default 20GB hard drive might not be so pleased about the $180 hard drive upgrade they may need very soon.
