1-As far as xbox 360 homebrew games go, you have a choice on which route to take. The former route to run anything homebrew is to hack or mod the console in order to get past the safety encryption. With the 360, doing it this way requires you to "flash" the onboard systems, to manipulate the firmware, but totally invalidates your warranty. Also you'll need to hook the 360 to an external Dvd Rom of a singular type, and rig it to work with the case off. Not fun!

2-The other choice is more sensible. It seems that Microsoft and other hardware manufacturers are starting to see the pointlessness of fighting the homebrew craze - so much so that they have changed their stance and will now help you run xbox 360 homebrew games. Kind of. There is a download for your 360 called Xna Game Studio Express, and this allows you to use your Computer, to establish your own xbox 360 homebrew games, and also run games developed by others. Much more fun!

3-Something else prominent is that you understand what exactly the term "homebrew" means. Many people think that homebrew means you are running copied games, hacked games etc, but this is not accurate. Xbox 360 homebrew games are exactly like they sound - home brewed games - games that people have made at home. The potential is surprisingly high of such games, and it means that everybody can now have a shot at developing games. If you've ever played a game and belief "If only I could just...." you'll see how much fun this could be.

It's now no longer essential for those looking for xbox 360 homebrew games to download them from some illegal or dangerous P2P site or something similar. In their infinite wisdom, Microsoft are starting to publish the best of the homebrew titles for download over the Xbla, or Xbox Live Arcade, which is very welcome development for any would-be games programmers. At last games programmers have a way of getting their talent noticed!
