Why would MS not allow you to split the patch.
Just release them as two patches.
Like I said the 360 versions may not have the problems the PC Version did.
And the PC versions probably won't have the problems of the console version, as well.
I'd guess, whether it's released as one, two, three, or 50 updates -- if they break the patch up as is and lazily do it -- without all the updates installed, you'd probably not be able to run the game until you do them all.
I guess they could split the patch up and make it so that only some things are fixed in each update, but then there'd then be a few bunch of updates to download.
I would not be surprised if Eden Games asked about doing such a thing w/ Microsoft for AITD for the 360, as well -- but, it never got the patch to turn it into the Inferno edition (which the PS3 has, right out the box).
