As you know, XNA is a set of tools from Microsoft to help homebrew developers make their own applications and games. To run your games on Xbox 360, you pay a year to join the "Creators Club" (those are US dollars). If other people want to run your games on their Xbox 360s, it looks they need to get your source code and they also need to be Creators Club members - but it looks like that will change and everybody can access homebrew games (more about that later).

• "The fundamental difference here is not just about providing access to a platform, it's really about making an investment in something, and ensuring that people who will want to make games on your game console are successful in doing that."
• "What we are focused on doing is providing great tools at a free or low price point that are going to enable consumers to be absolutely successful at creating games for both the Windows and the Xbox 360 platforms."

I make a game and I send it over to you to have you check out my game, and you're not a member of the Creators Club, I'd still love for you to be able to play it. That's absolutely the scenario that we want to support and start working on and enabling that in 2007.
