Maybe now we will get quality not quantity from Xbox Live arcade games.

 Microsoft's Worldwide Games Portfolio Planner for Xbox Live Arcade, David Edery just confirmed that the XBLA's file size restriction has just been increased as Microsoft does away with the old 100MB limit.

As part of the "steady progress", Edery confirmed word that they've raised the XBLA's size limit to a hefty 350MB after they've been "listening to our partners, listening to our customers to try and get a feel for what's right." The raise in file size limit is, what we think overall to be a good thing for the market that will probably allow richer, deeper and more involved XBLA games. We agree with Edery, it's just "good for the ecosystem.

now maybe we will see cool games like pit fighter, rampage, that old sit down star wars game, afterburner, NBA Live, arch rivals...etc. so far the arcade games have been mostly cheesey. what was that old four person football game back in the mid 90's and that wrestling game with the guy with the star mask. i used to be an arcade fiend. if only they could reproduce fooseball, the game with the mini basketballs, and airhockey. for some reason street fighter 2 and mortal combat just werent the same on XBLA.
