Microsoft to offer cheap Xbox 360 game development kit? | News.blog | CNET News.com

Microsoft to offer cheap Xbox 360 game development kit? | News.blog | CNET News.com: "But at the Game Developers Conference here on Tuesday, the rumor is that Microsoft plans on announcing Wednesday a developers kit that would make it possible for anyone to build games for the console, or for PCs, and that the kit will cost only about $100."

If true, this would be an awesome thing. It would actually bust this platform open as far as ISVs are concerned. One of the GOOD things that had happened with PC games is that there were a good number of smaller software houses (ID started this way don't forget) that were producing very good games.
