Just got back from Microsoft's Blogger Breakfast and it was a hoot! The smoked bacon was delicious! Several bloggers got to throw questions at Chris Satchell, Aaron Greenberg and John Schappert.
XNA Community Program
* Games are all unrated. No ESRB intervention
* There may be a possible file size increase in the future to accommodate game developers.
* Games probably won't be restricted by region.
* Game creators will retain all rights to their games.
* There will be no certification for XNA community developed games.
* No achievements for XNA community games
* Friends lists probably won't work on XNA community games. They are still working on it.
Xbox Live Downtime Over The Holidays
* Xbox Live outage due to overwhelming holiday response
* 1,000,000 concurrent users on before Super Bowl playing Madden
* 4,000,000 new Live Gold subscribers in 6 months
Xbox 360 Blu-Ray Player Possibilities
* Microsoft doesn't care about Blu-Ray at this time
* 3% attach rate for HD-DVD add-on
Red Ring Of Death Still An Issue?
* Failure rate has officially dropped
* Microsoft is working on the DRM issue with downloaded content
* DRM issue only affects those who don't have access to Live
* In the interim, Microsoft will refund ALL your MS Points to re-download your content
