However, much like The Orange Box, Microsoft likes to make exceptions for Valve, which is why Portal was allowed on the Arcade with a file size of something like 650MB.
Shenmue II might make it to Xbox Originals, but not the Arcade. Being that Phantasy Star Online Episode 3 never actually came to the platform before, it'd have to be an Arcade game. PSO Episode 1 could fit, due to its diminuitive file size (and the other episodes could easily be released as add-ons) - however, I don't know how big Episode 3 was, but I don't doubt they could do it, if Sega felt it was feasible.
Of course, there's probably no justification for a monthly fee, as they could just use the Xbox Live servers and have it require Gold, but I doubt Sega would want people playing it without them constantly milking undue amounts of cash from its players.
