Microsoft has revealed that XNA Game Studio 3.0 will be released on October 30th.

The latest version chiefly adds Microsoft’s Zune music player as a development target, as well as supporting the new Xbox Live Community Games initiative – itself planned to launch as part of the New Xbox Experience hitting Xbox 360s worldwide on November 19th.
