XNA v2?
I know I've mentioned before that Xbox game development interests me. So they're doing a new console update, and the features are listed here. Note this one...
Added support for XNA Game Studio Express V.2
This led me to research a little, and I found this blog post that confirms my biggest wish... Xbox Live support! I still think that the greatest innovation in this space, with the indie developers, will happen online. I look forward to looking into it a little.
Speaking of which, I can't believe that the Xbox 360 Scene It? has absolutely no online component. What the hell were they thinking? With those controllers you've got the equivalent of bar-style NTN triva at home. Duh.
