Talking on the eve of its Gamefest event in Seattle, Microsoft has revealed XNA Game Studio Express, a new product which will allow indie developers and students to develop simultaneously on Xbox 360 and PC, and share their games to others in a new Xbox 360 'Creators Club'.

That's an excellent idea.  The more people want to develop for it, the more people will buy the hardware...

Probably a good way for talented developers to get noticed as well.

This has been a complaint of "gamers" for a while.  A company hasnt truely embraced the indy scene and I guess this is about as close as Microsoft can come to it.
