Well me and my friend were working on this game and had great ideas. It was a FPS, I was lead programming and design and he was lead audio engineer. I got into apphub through dreamspark and now have come to see that I can't publish my game to XBLIG without actually purchasing it.

Our plan was to release the game through dreamspark and XBLIG and maybe make a little bit of money for the rose parade trip our band is going on (http://media.roseparade.net/mediaGuideBand.asp?id=763)

However after seeing you need to pay 100 a year to publish, I don't know where to go. I don't have a xbox hard drive for XNA but thought I could wing it, but this and a subscription is too much. Any ideas of what I should do?

Moving to Business. (I assume you're looking for cheaper self-publishing options, which would be a Business question.)

Sorry, new here. Thank you!

Maybe FAQ 60 will have some ideas. And you could look into crowdsourcing.
