The software giant will be releasing a developer package for anyone to design games for the xbox and share them online.
This will be a major blow to ps3 as more people are interested in customization.
This will also provide a boost in sales for the xbox360 console making the ps3 seem more and more like a "get only if you have money to waste" console.

My OH and I were discussing getting an Xbox the other day... Now I might have to get one merely to satisfy my craving to play my own games!

Laughing I originally wanted one to turn it into a UNIX server..

It will be interesting to see the types of games users create. This is a great step in the game market.
Now if only I could create video games Wink

Well you can still make some pretty neat browser games with php.

Not too graphical though, but of course now-a-days computers are generally faster so graphics heavy sites are on the increase.

Anyhow. I play with games-designing engines and tools even though I only know enough C or whatever to guess at the code. Laughing
I still want an xbox to play with. But not a talking one. o.o

I wonder though if users will be able to sell their games for a small amount. I would say $5-10 the most.
This would bring more developers into the market and a great way for small companies to get noticed.
