More exciting for general Xbox 360 owners, is news that XNA will now become a more 'open' network, and selected titles will be made available on Xbox Live Arcade for download by anybody with a Xbox Live membership. 

Previously, only others with an XNA Creators Club Subscription were able to test and play other people's games on their 360. Titles will be selected via a peer voting process by XNA Creators Club Members.
