I think with this announcement XNA is going to be a fantastic breakthrough for Microsoft. Now anybody can check out your new game, review it, etc. and that' s simply fantastic and much better than before where you had to play it on PC or have a Creators Club Subscription to be able to play XNA games.

Yeah I as playing a few of the XNA games last night. Some hit and miss stuff but now I' m more interested in the whole project thats for sure. I didnt even know they were offering out XNA for teh next 16 days for free to try out and mess with.

The damn thing isnt available in India . Hows Dishwasher ? Hearing good things about it ...

I' ve been waiting for XNA since the developers tools were released.

It' s going to be a nightmare to implement. They' d have to have some sort of narrow release, or beta system to weed out the crap I' d think. Even at 100-something a pop, (the price for XNA studio, if I remember correctly) you' d still get an enormous amount of garbage. UE3' s a perfect example. It' s bloody expensive, but that doesn' t stop a bunch of crap games from getting turned out under the engine.

I saw some footage of Dishwasher that looks very cool... a nice blend of old school platforming and fighting, with some contemporary elements like finishing moves.
