XNA games going to have achievement?

Are there any words on if XNA games will have any achievement?

Or the pricing of those games?

You need a publishing agreement to have achievements, so nothing in the community games section.

Not necessarily! The developers of the game will be able to set the price (with a percentage going to MS of course :) )

[quote=foxhunt99@yahoo.com]So XNA games will be free I am guessing?[/quote]From the Q&A about community games over at the XNA Creators Club forum:

Q: Can I sell my game on Xbox LIVE Community Games? What is the revenue split?
A: We are still finalizing the business models and revenue sharing details of Xbox LIVE Community Games at this time. More information will be available closer to the retail consumer launch this holiday.

So my guess is that there could very well be games that will set you a couple of hundred points back, if the developers wants to. While others intend to not charge you at all. A mixed bag.

what does not having achievements has to do with being free or not?
