Games submitted to the New Experience's Community Games Channel could be cleared for mass download within just 48 hours, according to word from this morning.

Speaking during a preview for the new community game feature, XNA developer Kathleen Sanders told (Larry Hryb), that games should be processed within just two days following submission.

Budding game makers will be able to craft games for distribution via XNA Game Studio 3.0 - and this simple toolset should mean that anyone can create a game for sharing on Live.

The tools in question will arrive on October 30th, and projects will be community-reviewed and rated prior to hitting the main channel.

Developers will even be able to sell their games, for real money, we hear. More on the as it nears our consoles.
