Will there ever be a purely digital version of ME2 for the Games on Demand part of XBOX Live? Or are multi-disc games forbidden from being offered as a downloadable option due to their size?
GoD version of ME2?

Being a PC user, I dont know much about GoD, but given that ME2 is available in digital format on Steam, Origin, D2D, and other DD outlets, I dont see why not.
That said, are there any other games that are available, that are similar to ME2 in terms of size and quality? The reason why I ask, is there could be hosting and/or bandwidth issues with MS hosting such a game for download, as it could force them to so some major hardware upgrades, which would increase the costs on XBL Gold memberships, and with the Xbox being a (in my own words) budget gaming device compared to PC, people might not want to spend that money for their recreational pleasure. Less people would want to pay for, or upgrade to, XBL Gold, and could end up being a loss for MS.

L.A. Noire was just added to Games on Demand last month. It was the first multi-disc game to be added to games on demand. Seeing as how that barrier's been broken now, I don't really see a reason why it shouldn't be added now.

I hadn't seen that L.A. Noire was added yet. Maybe we'll see more multi-disc games added in the future then. I'm just not a fan of disc swaps if you can install to the hard drive instead.
The fact that I buy digital as much as I do is also why I have two 250GB hard drives for my Reach 360. I've got about 60 GB free on one drive & 70 GB free on the other...
I'll also keep wishing for the ability to officially add non-MS drives at some point due to this. But that will probably be for the 720 or whatever...
