Question for XNA members

[AKALink]

I don't have an xbox 360, but I want to author songs and I have friends who would love to test songs. Would it be a good idea to give them the information to access my XNA account so they can test my authored songs and test out other songs.

I wouldn't, but I'm one of those paranoid people who won't even give my passwords to members of my own family. If getting an Xbox is an option, go with that. It's worth it if you're going to be designing songs/games with XNA.

If I am not mistaken, I believe that the XNA account has to use the same Windows Live ID that one of your friends use for XBL.

You are not mistaken. Your XNA account and XBL gamertag are tied together. You can't give just the XNA account info to somebody without giving them access to your entire gamertag profile.

More likely than not, it's against the Terms of Use to share your account information with anyone. You could always have your friend create an account of his own and reimburse him the cost, so that he can submit your work and (if he wants to) review any other content that gets submitted by other authors.

I like this idea, I think I will do this.
