Forums - Microsoft - Xbox 360 XNA game pricing revealed

disolitude on 22 July 2008

http://kotaku.com/5027788/xna-creators-club-games-priced-detailed

"Prices will be set at 200 MS points for games 50MB and under, with larger games priced at 400 or 800 MS points. Creators will receive 70% of the revenue generated mailed to them via check on a quarterly basis, though Microsoft will be randomly promoting XNA games, for which they will take an extra 10-20% based on traffic generated."

Seems like a fair deal for everyone especially gamers.

I hope they implement a ranking board or review list or even demos which will tell users which games are worth downloading as I expect there will be a mountain of games...most of which won't really be worth your time.

 

Edit - the games will be peer reviewed and only worthy ones will go on for sale. As the article states... :)

Fair pricing. I also hope there is a proper way to weed out crap from quality. Does MS have to approve games before they go on the market, or is it essentially the game maker's decision?

It's peer reviewed so only games that other creators deem worthy will be put up for purchase.

Do you guys bother reading articles?

I heard we will get to get some games free though.... like on a trial basis... is that still happening?

Well I assumed disolitude pasted the entire article here, not just a portion of it.

The article on joystiq said that some may be coming free.  And that there would be peer reviewing to weed out the good from the bad.
