I want to get started with XNA game development, and I have bought the Pro edition of Visual Studio 2010 so I have the required software to run XNA Game Studio.

How do I get it? Is it released yet?
Is it a free download on some Microsoft site?
Do I have to pay anything? Where?

Edit: Is this it?

I found the whole XNA Game Studio 4.0 as a part of the Windows 7 Phone Devkit

(and here's the ISO download if you need to install it on multiple PCs)

Yep that's the one, just download and install it.

For XNA 4.0 you have two different downloads. One for users in Windows XP that only includes the XNA 4.0 Framework and another for users in Vista/W7 that includes XNA 4.0 and the WP7 Dev Tools. You can get both from here:

In the XNA Game Studio 4.0 section.
