If it is cheap enough they will come

SOFTWARE giant and sometime purveyor of entertainment gear, Microsoft is releasing a cut price development for its XBox 360 console.
The move follows complaints that it is far too expensive for developers to create games for the outfit’s machine.
While the 360 does have a raft of good games, most of them are from the big software publishers and there have been few from the ‘bloke in a garage’ or even the small games companies.
According to News.com, Vole is planning to release its developer’s kit for a $100, which will mean that everyone plus dog can get in on the act.
Certainly it will mean that there could be even more games for the XBox and make it a bit tougher for the PS3 later this year.
