Uit het niets verscheen opeens het bericht dat de Xbox-exclusive Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath opgepoetst zou worden en op het PlayStation Network aangeboden zou worden. Deze zeer goede game voor het jaar 2005 deed menig hart sneller kloppen en de Xbox-gamers vroegen zich dan ook af waarom de game niet als Xbox Live Arcade zou uitkomen op de Xbox 360. De reden is simpel: de game overschrijdt de limieten om als XBLA-game gemarkeerd te kunnen worden. Samen met Microsoft wordt wel aan een oplossing gewerkt, maar de beslissing is niet aan ontwikkelaar Just Add Water.

"Since we announced Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath for the PS3 we've been getting a fair bit of stick along the lines of 'Why are you not doing 360', 'Why are you only PS3 Exclusive', 'Please don't be dicks, support 360'.

So what's the story, whilst I can't go into complete detail on this, I can tell you that we are NOT PS3 Exclusive. As far as we are concerned we are a multi-platform company, supporting the big 3, PC/PS3 & 360.

Now with regard to Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath on the 360 there are a number of factors that are currently sitting in our way to announce a 360 version of the title, whilst we can't go into all the details, what I can say is we are working with Microsoft to get the title on that platform, however the final decision is NOT ours.

One thing we can discuss in regard to the 360 version is the size of the game. On XBLA there is a 2GigaByte size limit we have to adhere to, currently the title weighs in at 2.1GB and that is without any updates, so either we have to pull a miracle out of the bag with some type of amazing compression system, or ask Microsoft to increase their 2GB limit, however this limit is apparently hardware led, so please let us try and make a miracle happen."
