Today Microsoft confirmed a couple things about XNA and how the whole community games thing will go. Games developed by users can be placed on XBL for download. User-created games will cost as little as 2.50 and some can very well be free. Microsoft also mentioned that it will share 70% of revenue with the developer. You can expect all this to come with the fall update.

Cool right?..
