As far as i know any aspiring game designers can use the XNA Game Studio Express PC Software to create there own games, which could result in some interesting concepts.

Not only that from what i have been told once the games have been tested and checked for adult content by a committee, the games will become available on XBOX Live for a small price. A percentage of the price will actually be given to the original creator of the game. You know what this means? If you have the ability to create an amazing experience you could stand to make some real money from this.

Ok all of the above i learnt through word of mouth and my mate told me he read this in the official XBox UK Magazine, so do not quote me to much. I have provided some links and would like to hear some peoples thoughts on this.

Personally i think its an excellent move by MS.

While this is true, developing a game is:

• Incredibly complex
• Requires significant technical knowledge such as C++ programming skills
• This in turn requires skills in mathematics, understanding logic etc
• The process is very time consuming (not good if you're in school or working)
• All of the above must be combined with unique artistic flair
• All of the above must pass quality control

I tried learning to program a bit before. It's... just... boring.

I'll leave that to the super-nerds.

I created some games in Action Script 2. Unfortunatly i think this will be far more complex

Starting with the iphone is way better and easier, after that people then should make the next move because to make a game for the xbox is more complex than making for an iphone, takes more time and more money.
