There is not much details about XNA 3.1, but at least it’s official that this release will include customized avatars, new audio APIs and video playback. I can’t wait untill I get my hands on this but I guess I just need to have some patience 🙂
For more information, see http://creators.xna.com/en-US/news/dbpandxnags31.
As for now, I will continue working on Grill Simulator in order to complete this before Easter 🙂
