It' s about fucking time.

the best part:
the file size for Xbox Live Arcade titles has been increased from 50 MB to 250 MB and with Microsoft' s approval, that size can be expanded to 450 MB*.

EDIT: they really need to fix the buttons.

Does that sentence really make any sense? With Microsoft' s approval?! WTF?! I think it goes without saying that they could damn well make it anything they want!

That being said, I think this is a good move, and will open up the arcade and eliminate some grey area. I mean, a developer could previously either make a complete game on a disc, or one under 50 MB. Kinda restrictive, that.

If you mean by allowing the buttons to be reassigned to the player' s preference, then I agree 10000000%

Why any game would not include this in this day and time is beyond my comprehension.

Nice to see them opening it up a bit more. As for customisable buttons, should be mandatory most if not all games.

The developers/publishers are the ones with the restrictions, but I see your point.

As for my button comment I was talking about this forum. The quote buttons don' t work, neither do the bold or the other ones. They used to, we should be able to highlight something and press the button to have it do the action on the highlighted word. Instead well look. <----I don' t mean to complain but it was supposed to bold the last three words.
