Wow... Impressive MS... I'm really glad I chose them for this console cycle.

That's really cool. Though I am a bit disappointed because for some reason I was under the impression that Community games would be free.

Oh well. 200 point games will be nice.

Ick, they're not letting people release their games for free? And making people charge at least $2.50? Why such a high minimum? Why not let people charge, say, a quarter?

Most likely because 30 percent of a quarter wouldn't cover credit card transaction fees and microsoft would lose money.

Awesomeness.
Though if I ever do make a game, it'll probably be coded in C++ and released free on windows/linux, so I'd have to port it AND add new content to make it worth buying on the 360. Still a good move on MS though.
