Let's see if it really ends up being $100

I thought the dev kit for indie developers are restricted to live arcade (lumines, old-school, simple 3d graphics, etc.)? I mean, you get what you paid for if that is the true price point. Does the $100 dev kit include the xbox360 hardware? It's kind of hard to test out your game if you don't have the debug xbox360 hardware kit.

I believe it is just for live arcade games. I remember watching an e3 video for live arcade. They were saying something that arcarde will soon have small games that teams of 3 or 4 people would create. From what I understand, you cannot test the game on an actual 360. It just allows you to code a game for the PC that can be easily ported to the x360.

That sounds more like it. Once you have it coded on the PC, I bet MS will charge a boat load of money to get it over to the 360's live arcade. But I'm speaking out of ignorance here.
