Hello.

I previously doubted the possibility of C# on Xbox 360 and a hobbyist homebrew version. I was wrong! Microsoft announced the release of Visual Studio 2005 Express for Xbox 360 content creation on August 30, 2006. The $99/year dev kit allows non-commercial game development and sharing among hobbyists (no network support yet). I'm excited to get an Xbox 360, Xbox Live account, and the developer account! Check out these resources: XNA Team Blog, Microsoft XNA homepage, XNA FAQ, Game Studio, News Report, another Blog Post.

I've noticed a lot of searches related to C# and Xbox 360 development. While it's unclear what the future holds, some recent posts suggest that using the CLR on the Xbox 360 may be possible someday. Whether this will open up homebrew development remains uncertain, especially considering potential licensing restrictions. Though it's unlikely, we can still hold onto a glimmer of hope!
