Indies can set costs themselves as before MS dictated prices! can also take advantage of smart glass and Kinect

Sounds to me that more or less many of the policies on Xbox 360 have been changed to be fair to MS when 360 launched it was a different time and you would expect that policies that were ok back then but seem silly now would be changed.
