Microsoft have explained why the Watchmen video game was allowed to break their own 50gb Xbox Live game download limit with a whopping 1.2GB download.

The game was allowed this exception for 'superior gameplay' which is judged game by game.

This is not the first time Microsoft have bent the download limit rules - Bionic Commander, Street Fighter and Castlevania all were larger than 50mb.


"We have set Xbox Live Arcade game file limits as a general guideline. An important part of Xbox Live Arcade is easy access, and keeping file size down is a vital part of that," Microsoft.

Sony don't impose size limited and indeed some have scoffed at the so called 'superior' game play reasoning.
