So, someone on an IRC channel, which I are part of, linked a lovely little video of some talk about XNA Studio for the X-Box 360. I can't really say anything more then the video can. I want to highlight one thing said in the video though. The video that is linked, was made (remotely) by a developer in 4 weeks. It's a simple racing game with HDR, Bloom effects, 4xFAA, etc. It's only 3 tracks and 3 cars by the looks of it, but 4 weeks is an insanely short amount of time for something that looks like that. Ok, it seems to be lacking AI and multiplayer code, but it's a bloody good start, for 4 weeks.

4 weeks.

I am gob-smacked.

Little news article on "XNA Game Studio Express Beta 2 Launches". Though it will cost $99/year (or $49 for 4 months), I am quite tempted to have a deeper look at this.
