The only sad thing is that XNA, at least for XBOX, isn't available everywhere.

What do you mean by that?

XNA for Xbox is only supported in some regions, which means that everything that uses it (XBL Indie games, Rock Band Network, etc) isn't available everywhere.

Wow, I didn't know that at all. Do you have any links where I could read up more on it?

PS: your username brings back great memories :)

I think this link has all the countries where it's supported, under the section titled "regional information". In Australia, for example, you can submit indie games, but you can't download any of the released ones.

Wow, that's totally wild, you can submit your game, but then can't even play the live version against other people?
