XNA Game Studio V2 Beta Now Available

XNA V2 beta is now available for free download here and the best thing is you don't even have to uninstall the current version of XNA Game Studio Express as the two will work fine side by side.

The beta only allows you to build games for Windows but does support multiplayer gaming over LAN and the Internet although you will need a special key which you can get by mailing xnacgp@microsoft.com with the subject “Beta Key Request”.

This is a great chance to get your hands on the new version before RTM and help contribute to its success by reporting any bugs here.

According to the XNA team blog; "Please keep in mind that the timeframe between this release and our final release will be very short" so you shouldn't have to wait to long for the full public release with support for the Xbox 360!
