Microsoft’s official limit for games on Xbox Live Arcade: 350MB. Portal: Still Alive’s actual size: 629MB. The limit breaking (ha!) comes from a report via Joystiq where, as they point out, “the previously announced 350 MB limit has just been kicked in the teeth.”

As of yet, there is no word from Microsoft whether or not the size cap limit will be raised yet again, as it was when Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was placed on the service, or even whether or not there will be a new and bigger memory card (as it was again with Castlevania: SOTN from 128MB to 350MB) to support the Arcade and Core Xbox 360 bundle owners.

Of course, right now owners of that Arcade and Core bundles can opt into Microsoft’s New Xbox Experience service to receive a 20GB on the cheap, but who knows how long it will take for participants to receive them.

It should also be noted that Portal: Still Alive will not be coming to the Playstation Network despite the lack of limit caps on the network and the fact that the Orange Box was released on the PS3.

Portal: Still Alive hit the XBLA today (October 22, 2008) for 1200 Microsoft Points or $15.
