Title: XNA Framework for the 360
Post by: gm112 on April 12, 2007, 10:21:24 am: Alright, so I've been really interested into the XNA Framework. It seems like the next step to DirectX. Easier but kindof slower. Not a big deal, right? Anyways, Microsoft released XNA Framework for the 360 but I am not sure if it'll actually be worth it to get. It's $100 for a whole year license, right? By the way, I don't want any dickhead answers that usually come from people of ZFGC.

[MiNEdit]
I'll ignore the dickhead comment and just give you a warning for the comment directed towards a member.

I was having this same conversation with WWFan earlier and its a complete waste of time and money, your not allowed to sell your work for a profit and you can't distribute to anyone but other subscribed XNA developers. Not to mention the API in itself is a pile of shite, just stay clear :D.

Personally, I would wait tell that version comes out, although you could buy this version to experiment then recompile it in the pro version later.
