its hard to say but to be honest i think 2GB will be no where near enough.
Recently I have downloaded 5 rainbow 6 maps (each about 20-30MB each) and the car pack for project gotham which was close to 50MB.

So thats about 10% of your bandwith gone. but from what ive been told is that the xbox pulls around about 50-60Kbps downstream, with the odd burst to 100-150Kbps.

With that fact in mind, if your xbox pulled down a constant 75kbps over 6 hours a night 7 days a week over 4 weeks you would download 5.40444944 gigabytes (that came from a bit of faffin with the google calc i think its correct but if anyone wants to correct me please do)

After all that i think the simple answer is just to go for the 512mate!!!
