What? Do you expect to be able to develop for the xbox 360 using linux and emacs?
That is exactly the first thought I had when I heard this on the radio this morning. I already developed and maintain an in-house Windows app using gcc compiled as a mingw32 cross-compiler. So why not cross to the XBOX 360? We've got our choice of http://www.mono-project.com/ and http://www.dotgnu.org/ for the .NET stuff.
My lack of interest in game development in general will keep me from pursuing this, but I hope someone else does it.
