Relevant announcement to a number of us.  I can't find it in such words here, but it looks like they're opening up XNA games to the general public, plus setting up a system wherein you set a price and let the  happen.  Not entirely sold on it yet, but I'ma keep an eye on this shit.

Seeing as how if you use XNA to make content that uses XBox Live features, you're not allowed to sell it, this is pretty nice, even if it's 70%

500 points is roughly $6.25, according to wiki.  So something like $4.35 a hit if you had a 500 point game, mailed to you quarterly.  If your game is popular, it seems they reserve the right to take upto an extra 30% off for 'promotional fees'.  MINIMUM AMOUNT REQUIRED for payout that is currently undefined.

Hmm.  Points for your game is based on how BIG your game is.  I smell bloatware ahoy!

This page is so laden with MS-speak it makes me want to cry.

Can I give out Achievements and Gamerscore in my community-created title?
No. Achievements are reserved for commercial games.

So... yes?

Sounds cool. I plan on making Devils in Heaven this year when my internship ends using XNA so this might be an easy way to sell it.
