Imagine Cup Microsoft Game Dev Camp – You’re invited!
AshMan says… Are you a student? Do you want to know how to make your own PC and Xbox 360 Games? Well if you are already answering yes to these questions this camp is for you! The camp runs from Friday December 18 2009 through to Sunday December 20 2009 and will be a nonstop experience full of gaming, development, learning and fun. You’ll hear about Imagine Cup and how you can help change the world through technology, learn about XNA and how it makes development for Windows and Xbox as straightforward as possible for both 2D and 3D games.
You’ll also team up with others who are as keen to get into game development as you are, potentially forming up proper partnerships to enter Imagine Cup, the world’s biggest technology competition for students.
And, best of all, it’s free to attend. And, even better, if you’re one of the first 50 students to register by December 8, Microsoft will cover your accommodation as well – you just need to get to the event, and we’ll look after the rest!
How good is that!? Prizes, gaming, learning game dev, fun, teamwork, challenges, all rolled up into one 3 day experience. Sounds good to me!
Agenda: December 18 10:30 – Registration 11:00 – Camp Day 1 Begins 18:30 – Camp Day 1 Ends 19:00 – Pizza and Xbox Gaming Night
December 19 8:30 – Camp Day 2 Begins 18:30 – Camp Day 2 Ends 19:00 – LAN Party

Windows 7 Family Pack Pre-Order…
AshMan says…
Microsoft has just announced The Windows 7 Family Pack.
This will allow you to install the operating system on three home PCs at a lower price. There are a number of online retailers offering the Family Pack and it is priced at approximately US$145. Originally this offer was going to be released on the 18th of October before the public release on the 22nd of October, so this is a bonus!

Windows 7 Family Pack Offer
Another change to the Family Pack is its availability; it will now be available to North America, Europe – the U.K, Ireland, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands and Sweden.
If you only need a single license however, you are still able to order one from online retailers including Amazon and of course, the Microsoft Store.
