Which version of DirectX does the XBox use? Or rather, which version(s) can I use (for development)?

i believe the xdk is bassed off of directx 8. using the 'xtl.h' include file will include all the various headers/defines you need, unless im mistaken.

Correct, but it might be more correct to call it "8.5" because it includes some extensions specific to nVidia chipsets, as well.

Suffice it to say, DX8 programming will do the trick nicely.

So if I were to download the DX 8.1a SDK from M$'s website, that will work? Or do I even need the DX SDK?

No DirectX SDK required to build Xbox apps. The XDK has all the stuff needed for building Xbox apps.
