| Hi folks, I am writing a beginners book for monkey and in my next chapter I need to cover XNA. My question is if I can test XNA, with the simulator, without being signed up for a developer account at microsoft. Do to money reasons I can't do that and would need quickly to do a different chapter at first till I can sign up next month. A quick answer would be awesome. Thanks Michael |

| You can download the Windows tools and play with them without a paid account. You can't test on a 360 without paying. |

| You can develop and test on a PC without a developers membership. You will need a membership to deploy and test your game on an Xbox. |

| Mike, If you are going to test on Windows Phone emulation you can do this without an account. You just need a WDDM 1.1 compliant video card to do gaming (or 1.0 for Silverlight). The emulator is fully hardware driven so it is apparently very good considering. |
