    XNA Game Studio v 2.0 FAQ

    12/12 added release date

    When?
    The download will be available early in the morning (PST) on December 13th. See http://forums.xna.com/thread/36556.aspx

    What will be included?
    See the XNA team blog (though see last minute cuts below) but the main features are as follows:
    * No longer Express only - now work in all VS2005 editions (nothing announce for VS08) [plus the death of any 'pro rumours']
    * Access to Live networking APIs (though license and redist limitations apply)

    What's NOT included
    * Video support
    * Low level audio APIs

    ***LAST MINUTE CUTS****
    Due to tight schedules, as always, some things have been cut:
    * Big Buttons 'Scene It' Controller support
    * Winforms integration (see alternatives here - Using XNA in a Windows Forms control)

    Anything about the youtube for games?
    The gamefest abstracts mentioned:
      "a glimpse of our community sharing plans"
    But nothing was shown and there have been no other mentions

    Will {my bug/feature| be included
    Please bear in mind that the GS team probably had at least 5 times the amount of feature requests than they were able to get in so not everything requested in connect will be there.
