At the advent of the Xbox Live Arcade, Microsoft imposed strict rules regarding how big game downloads could be. If a publisher's game exceeded 50 MB of data, it couldn't be put up for sale. Later, that size limit was lifted to 150 MB. As you may have noticed, that restriction no longer exists. Shadow Complex was nearly 1GB in size while the recently released C&C 3 Commander's Challenge pack clocked in at 2GB. Have all restrictions been thrown out of the window?

The answer is more or less.

In a meeting with Microsoft's Scott Austin, director of digital games, IGN was told that 2GB is the limit now, but that isn't due to any restrictions imposed by Microsoft. The 2GB limit is a technical limitation of the system being used. Games on Demand, a section of the Xbox Live Marketplace where you can buy full retail games to download, uses a different file structure and so that limitation does not exist.

If a consumer survey sent over to us by a tipster is to be believed, Microsoft is looking to bring a virtual Avatar arcade to the Xbox 360. Some of the potential names listed in the survey are "Game Room," "RetroCade," "Tower of ROM," and "Classics LIVE." Yeah, we're partial to "Tower of ROM" also.

If the proposed service sounds familiar, that's because it's nearly identical to PlayStation Home's arcade spaces – like Namco's virtual arcade – just replace the dead-eyed dopplegangers of Home with the scrunchable avatars of Xbox 360. The second survey question sent to us asks, "Which of the following names would most compel you to purchase the product?" indicating that the "Tower of ROM" might not be a free space but could instead have a fee associated with it.

While the survey doesn't give us much more to go on (besides a sinking feeling that we're not interested), we thought we'd ask you, Joystiq Biomass, to weigh in on the product's name. Let the fat cats in Redmond know what you think!
