Microsoft to offer Starter Kit for Game Designers

Microsoft Has a Starter Kit for Aspiring Game Designers - New York Times



    “Today the company is expected to announce the fall release of a product
called XNA Game Studio Express, a basic version of the company’s game
authoring tools that will let aspiring designers write games on a PC
and test them on an ordinary Xbox 360. (To test games, the designer pays $99 a year to translate the game from the PC into the Xbox format.)”

Great idea to allow for people to get involved in the development processes.  This concept is a close cousin to the open-source industry.  Great idea.
