We've been doing some beta curriculum for XNA for the past few weeks (we're at Chapter 6 and working on building a "Button Blaster" game.
Took in my XBOX, hooked it up (felt like being a REAL spoiled brat, and maybe will tomorrow, and hook up two projectors, since I have them) and did a demonstration of deploying a game to the xbox.
It's pretty cool, and even worked in the classroom even though we got XBox live errors because the firewall.
I started out with the test game, deployed it to the xbox, and then compiled a real version.
Then I had them help me write the tug of war version, deployed it and played it.
I have several students with XBox's, don't know if they have Gold Live but hoping they will give it a try over Spring Break.
Will give it another try tomorrow, with the other version of Button Blaster.
