    Awesome stuff. At first I thought it was leaked -- I guess you guys just have a psychotic sense of time ;)

    I will really be looking forward to Aug 30, that much is sure. I am, however, kind of vague on what exactly the $99 buys. I assume that will be cleared up soon, after the actual announcements happen and the beta release comes out?

    One small question - if you want to make a game for 360 - do you have to spend the $99 at the point where you're only testing it out on your own console? Or do you only have to spend the money when you're making the game available to others?

    This is important as it'll probably make the difference between me getting a 360 or not.

    I could not help but laugh a little when reading "You have 30 minutes to complete this survey.", checking Student, and then being finished.

    This sounds very exciting.

    I hope Microsoft has some good documentation to go with the Beta.

    As for good documentation thats always nice but a really good source would be Tom's book, at least for all the managed DirectX.

    I would recommend that.

    Wait, wait...

    Is the XNA Game Studio same as the XNA Framework?
    Will the XNA Framework be free too?
