You can now download the first XNA 3.0 CTP from Microsoft: Announcing: XNA Game Studio 3.0 Community Technical Preview (CTP).
The CTP already integrates into Visual Studio 2008 (both Express and the full Visual Studio). Even though the XNA Team Blog entry says x64 is not supported in this CTP, I'm happily running it on Windows Vista x64 without any issues.
One of the most interesting features in XNA 3.0 for me will be music playback. Older XNA releases required you to load an entire sample to memory in order to play it, with the new XAudio2 bindings in XNA 3.0 it should be possible to actually stream music.
