DreamBuildPlay

I forgot about Microsoft's DreamBuildPlay Challenge 2008.  I registered last night.  The craziest thing is that they are giving away Creator's Club Premium memberships for free.  So I started tinkering around with running code on my Xbox360.  And while XNA may be somewhat crippling in certain areas, it is the greatest thing to have ever happened to a Game Console.  While Nintendo and Sony combat hackers in a silly war over running code on their machines.  Microsoft has created a way for them to manage indie/hobbyist code on their platform and soon make money for it. 
The submission deadline is September 23.  If only I had known earlier.  I'll be working on this crazy the next month. Wish me luck!
