Microsoft’s launch next month of the "New Xbox Experience" is also bringing with it access to Community Games, and the home-brewed games could be even cheaper than originally expected.
In Joystiq’s video preview of the Community Games section of the new service, we find out that of the three titles currently available in the preview build, multiplayer space shooter Net Rumble is priced at 50 Microsoft Points (around 60 cents).
So far, Microsoft has stated that all games from the XNA community would be priced at either 200, 400, or 800 points.
This of course could simply be a quirk of the beta build of the New Xbox Experience, or it could mean cheaper games.
Also, Kotaku reported earlier this month that Net Rumble showed up on the Xbox Live Marketplace under an "XNA Creator’s Club" banner, priced at 100 Microsoft Points.
I expect we’ll hear more from Microsoft on a new pricing policy for XNA games prior to the upcoming launch.
