GDC06: XNA Framework == C# on the Xbox 360!!
News from the Game Developers Conference: C# on the Xbox 360!
In a previous life, I had a very positive experience writing a graphics engine end-to-end in C#. All I can say to this announcement is: awesome.
Here is the XNA page on MSDN. Here's another thoughtful discussion of this news.
[Update: just to be sure you don't lose the run of yourself (like I did), you require a development kit in order to develop managed code applications for the Xbox 360 today.]
[Update 2: Thanks to the ZMan for the suggested update to the title of this post]
