- The ZBuffer - the number one site for news and information relating to XNA. Tutorials, links, news all XNA all the time.
- Ziggyware - one of the best places to get your XNA news. Ziggy is constantly staying on top of what is going on in the community and getting that information out to everyone. Definitely a "must bookmark" site for XNA.

- Blue Rose Games - this XNA development site (formerly XNA101.com) focuses on XNA development for game developers without previous C# experience. There are lots of tutorials, code samples and information on XNA development for developers of all skill sets. This site is also a great resource for people wanting to get started with 3D development with XNA.
- exDream - a site run by one of the best DirectX and XNA developers outside of Microsoft. Also the author of Professional XNA Game Programming.
- Focused Games - a great site kept by a very active community member Krisc from the Efnet IRC channel. Focused Games has been making great headway on a Desktop Tower Defense clone in XNA and has other large projects in the works.
- Alan Phipps.com - VB and XNA Game Development - this site has XNA tutorials for those still doing Visual Basic game development. While it's my personal stance that I think you should just learn C# to use XNA, these tutorials are still a good resource for people to scared to take the plunge right now (like I was for years).
- XNA Links Graveyard - I have a hard time letting go. These are sites I used to visit and are either dead or dying. Maybe someday they'll come back, until then, I'll just hang onto a little bit of the XNA Community's past with this page of links...
