    Is it still hypothetically possible to get an Xbox 360 Dev Kit and XDK License direct from Microsoft and be a legit Xbox 360 Developer?

    Read that. Have fun trying to get one out of them. Next time it would be better to put all of your questions in one thread and to do some research before you ask here. Most questions like this can be answered simply on Google, just how I googled that link right there.

    I remember when I had my Demo Kit alive I registered the serial to my MS account (And 2 more XDKs but thats more funny to me than anything).

    When my kit died I called em up for shits n giggles only to find out that there would have been a replacement if I did go through the processes that would warrant a replacement (say Slim XDK for Arcade XDK). But since this is Microsoft, and that policies take priority, they dont offer support of any kind anymore for the Arcade models (most XDKs).

    Besides I bet if I had done the process about a month sooner before they ended support I probably would have just gotten a normal Slim in the end or something.

    The kits are meant for devs, and only devs (and reviewers but eh). Trying to get one now is not easy due to the push for Xbox One. You're welcome to try however.

    Hey, hey Stipo. That's legitimately the only way I can describe it.
    Fight me.

    How would you describe all the non Slim XDKs?

    I gotta say "arcade xdk" is like calling a paramedic an "ambulance driver".....

    Results in someone getting curb stomped.
