And I think seeing as we've already got a very stable DirectX HWA build of MMF2, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to prioritize an XNA build.

I've been thinking the same thing.

I third that sentiment. More publicity bang for the buch AND the ability to charge more for the compiler if they so chose to go that rout.

yeah i would love some one to make that It would have to cost less than €50 since im broke

Well you would still need to sign up for the XNA subscription so you can port your games over to Xbox 360, which is at minimum $50.

So it's going to happen. [grin]

Well there was a guy on here Zenoff64 something was his name, and he had this big idea to make his own console. Forget that, you'd want to get on existing consoles! [grin]

It's pretty much a done deal, as Consoles have caught up and surpassed computers basically...

Now whose gonna be first to get a game on the Wii, 360, PS3? heh

We're not talking about Wii and PS3 though. We're only talking about Xbox 360. Sure it's possible to get your games on these other systems, but you're looking at some work involved. At least with XNA, you're getting your games onto the Xbox 360 in a legit manner that doesn't require any sort of hacking or breaking into the system or changing anything. It just works.

Plus, and I honestly don't intend to turn this into a console war, but the Xbox 360 is the superior of all 3 of this generations consoles. It has the widest variety of gamers, from casual to hard core, it has the best graphics, the best online capabilities, and the best community of all 3 consoles.
Now I'll admit, the PS3 is impressive with graphics, but it's online functionality blows, and it's players are bias towards only hard core. The Wii has impressive unique movement, but completely shuns homebrew and thus kills it right where it stands when it comes to MMF2 and the community making games for it. So Xbox 360 is by far the best choice here.

No arguments here. [laugh]
I got the Red Ring of Death on a 3 year console, and promptly went out and bought another one...
I've never done that with any other console in my life... Nor would I have contemplated that, but I have to play Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil 5, GTA, Saints Row 2, Gears of War 1 and 2, and blah blah blah... [laugh]

360 is the clear winner this round, but the Wii is worth it for Nintendo's titles alone. Mario Kart online on the Wii is awesome :P

Wii just got my attention with the Wii version of House of the Dead. House of the Dead Overkill. I really have been contemplating a Wii for a while now, and a cousin of mine has one and plays bowling all the time, he said it's addicting and gets you into the game more than just sitting there and pressing buttons...
