So when is the runtime on the 360 going to be released (in beta/alpha/whatever) so we can play with it? I seem to remember reading 'holiday season' somewhere, but as I'm one of the 5.8 billion people who don't live in the USA, I've no idea what that actually means ;) Could someone just confirm when this will be available?
Andy.
Thanks Jim. I presume 'holidays' translates to 'Christmas' over here in the UK? I so want to get my hands on this and thrash it!...
Andy.
Having moved here about a year ago, I know how you feel! 'Holiday Season' here usually means the Thanksgiving - Christmas time, as far as I understand. As for timeframe when some product (like XNA) is being released in the holiday season it can mean anywhere from November (usually mid/late) to end of December.
As for the beta, this is in the FAQ:
Q: When will there be a full-featured beta of the XNA Framework?
A: The XNA Framework beta will be available as part of the XNA Game Studio Express beta offering on August 30. If you are interested in being notified when the XNA Game Studio Express beta is available for download, go to http://connect.microsoft.com and select "Available Connections." Then choose the XNA connection and follow the link to sign up for the XNA Game Studio Express Beta. (Note: A valid Windows Live ID is required, if you do not have one, you will be given the option of creating one.)
so sign up, download and go ahead and play when Aug. 30th comes around.
