Hey game makers, we're writing this post just for you. That's right, regular people, you can tune right out starting now. Just turn it off. Zone out. Do whatever it is common people do.

Are we alone? Alright, here's the deal: this summer Microsoft will be releasing a new blue-tinted Xbox 360 XDK Development Kit for developers, which not only adds some cool blue styling to the extra-tall dev profile, but doubles the console's memory to 1GB (a just-for-devs feature, of course). Until you can totally get one of your own in a couple months, stare at some more images in the gallery below ... since you're a developer ... since everyone else stopped reading, just like we asked.

I hope they bring a blue retail version out

So rad. I really wan't one. Ok, that's it, I'll become a game developer. I am sure I can figure out the code easily enough. It doesn't say I have to be a world renowned developer, I just have to be a game developer for xbox.

I'll start with an old school GTA II graphics approach to our very own GTA (type) title in Johannesburg. Taxi crushing violence, tanks, traffic, criminals, what more could be better?
 
Its beautiful. Anyone developers keen on joining me to get one of these? We can register a CC and send MS all the details :P :D

Real programmers drink coffee. ;)

I can also type up any docs you need done and...er.....provide moral support. :D
 
I showed my wife this pic and told her how sexy it is... Her answer was "I'm still sexier". My reply was "But this thing has buttons...!"
