GarageGames have struck a deal with Microsoft to provide their
XNA-based engine and builder software free to XNA Creators Club Premium
members.
Torque X is the managed C# game engine technology that lets you build cross-platform (PC and Xbox 360) games using Microsoft XNA, while Torque X Builder is the set of accompanying tools that allows construction of game assets to deploy using Torque X.
So XNA Creators Club Premium members, who pay $99 a year for their sub, now get Torque X and TXB for free to help them in their game building endeavours. Torque X has an advanced per-pixel materials system, a physics engine, and specific support for deployment on the 360, among myriad other features.
Thus if you're like me and try your hand at amateur game development on the 360 (or PC) using XNA CC, then Torque X being available for free could help make your endeavours a lot more fruitful.
Head over to GarageGames' website to check out Torque X and TXB, where you'll also find links to XNA CC if you fancy signing up to give indie game development a try. A good few folks on the B3D forums do just that, so you won't be alone if you want to talk about it.
