XNA Game Studio Express Releases
Remember that funky little leaked Fall update dashboard with the groovy rocket icon that had Launchpad next to it? Well this is what the little rocket was about. XNA Game Studio Express was released today. Are you ready to play ideas that your very own community members have developed or those that you’ve developed? That time is here.
Here are few details from Michael Klucher, Program Manager for XNA Game Studio:
To download the released product for Windows, head over to: http://msdn.com/xna/gse/Â You can now also purchase a subscription to the XNA Creators Club from the Xbox Live Marketplace on your Xbox 360 console if you have an active silver or gold Xbox Live subscription.
Before you purchase a subscription to the XNA Creators Club please take the time to go over the PC and Xbox 360 console requirements in the readme. Once you’ve done that here’s how to get it:
On the Xbox Live blade, go to “Xbox Live Marketplace”
Select “Games” and then “All Game Downloads”
Scroll down the list to find the “XNA Creators Club”Here you’ll be able to go under Memberships to purchase a 4-Mo membership for $49.00 or an Annual (12-mo) membership $99.00. The prices used here reflect the subscription rates for the United States and pricing may differ for your local region or country if outside the USA.
You’ll also need to download the XNA Game Launcher from the same area. Having done so, you will find a new XNA Game Launcher program on your Games blade under Demos and More.

Sorta like Open-Source…but not.
Still though I am very in favor of the idea.

Think it’s worth it to get the games others have created?
