Yes and scaling would be too resource consuming as well (very bad for menus, etc.). I think, the most challenging part here is all the [different type of] shadows. So does anybody know, who made the original pixel based image? If not raytraced and steps for reproduction are available (e.g. gimp/psp layers), it should be possible to produce a less resource consuming but pretty close svg (at least at the given size ;-)).
