I'm back on the Westside of the mountains helping out a former employer (An aviation store on BFI) and visiting the parents. I was wondering while I was back here for a bit if it is possible to arrange a visit and a tour of the Aces studio?

no chance :(

I don't know about the ACES studio, somehow doubt it but you never know. You can always visit the Microsoft Tourist Info center in Redmond; it's not that big, but they have lots of hands-on displays and it's worth a visit.You can also pop into the MS Store and see what great deals MS employees get on software. Unfortunately you have to be an employee in order to get the big discounts though.Bryan

Why don't you just ask Microsoft directly? :)

Yeah a lot of my friends parents work at Microsoft. They all take advantage of it for the xbox 360 stuff.

Well I believe I talked to a few of the developers when they came to where I work at on Boeing Field. I just wanted to see them more in thier element and when the studio is less then a mile away it make for a short trip. :)
