a simple answer to a simple question:

YUP!

I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, it isn't possible to integrate the XNA studio into it is it?

Edit: I could uninstall Visual C# 2008 Express Edition too couldn't I, since I already have Visual Studio 08

Yes. You can just install XNA Game Studio 3.0 Beta to work with Visual Studio 2008. That is what I did.

You need to install THIS version of XNA instead of the one the post tells you to. Follow the rest of the instructions, but make sure to use games that are specifically marked as beta-compatible. There's a package of beta-compatible games stickied in the Download Completed Games forum.

Games made for the 2.5 firmware need to be updated to work. However, many developers have already done so. You can find some here: http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/dow...e-package.html
