This is a nobrainer for Microsoft. They are going to release a free development kit for the 360 and for the PC. No clue on who owns the rights to the game that you create. If we see a huge game that some guy/gal makes and Microsoft profits off of it, is that really good?

The details of the new tech are as follows: XNA Game Studio Express will be available for free to anyone with a Windows XP-based PC, and will provide them with what's described as "Microsoft's next-generation platform for game development." In addition, by joining a "creators club" for an annual subscription fee of $99, users will be able to build, test and share their games on Xbox 360, as well as access a wealth of materials to help speed the game development progress.
