The guys from XNAtutorial.com have published their Weekly Update summary of XNA announcements, workarounds, source code, reads and so on.
Very interesting and handy as usual.
Enjoy!

DREAM.BUILD.PLAY: "WARM-UP CHALLENGE"
From DPS's site: "Welcome to the Warm-Up Challenge in the Dream-Build-Play competition. It is the precursor to the main event in Dream-Build-Play, which will begin upon completion of the Warm-Up Challenge. This challenge not only sharpens your skills but you can also win cool prizes and bragging rights! ..."
The challenge: to create a videogame based on the 'Spacewar Starter Kit' before the end of this month.
The prize: "... The contest starts now with our Warm-Up Challenge. We’re awarding $500 (USD) to the top five entries! ..."
You will find more information on the site.
So, c'mon, let's go for it! ... there are 4 remaining places for you ... ;)
'VISUAL3D.NET' VS. 'XNA MAGIC'
As we wait for news and updates related to the Dream.Build.Play contest, there are a couple of sites worth checking (imho).
On one corner we have Visual3D.NET. A public CTP had been announced, but last time I visited the forums, someone asked, but no news were added.
On the other corner we have XNA MAGIC. Two things: i) the "Naming Competition" is over, so the new name for this framework (and the winner of the Pro license) may be announced soon, and ii) information about the beta 1 can be found on the "Beta One Development Roadmap" page.
Both look very promising but none has revealed the price for commercial licenses, thought ... :(
