Xbox and PS3 set to let indies rock?

Ok, so we've got XNA which is producing some awesome stuff. Turns out Sony's got it's own library/engine plans afoot, except it sounds like they're providing a more mature engine instead of the previously-complained-about bare-bones approach of XNA.

I think this competition is a good thing: We'll get better tools and support from both sides and we might even see XNA pushed to working on the PS3. That'd be great :) More choice is never a bad thing. I'd like to have a peek at this Phyre Engine soon though.

Really hope Phyre Engine will become available to indies
and not just free for "select" developers to work from.

Oh yeah, you've got a PS3 :)

I've been messing with the community games on my 360 at odd times today. Very cool stuff going on there... I'm seriously going to push myself for DBP this year. Got a bit of a team together.
