I found a more recently updated set of tutorials for XNA,
Might I suggest http://creators.xna.com/Education/GettingStarted.aspx
Creators.Xna.Com is a really great resource for everything XNA.
Lot of videos and tutorials.
You really don't need to the purchase the Creators Club to develop in XNA.
The Creators Club is only required is you want to deploy to the 360.
MS has also started to release some Premium Content only for Creators Club members.
Again, strictly speaking, the Premium content is not required.
Stage 1 right now is to simply get XNA installed and working.
Try to build and execute the SpaceWar Windows starter kit.
Next, Open the Help File,
Go Contents,
Drill into XNA Game Studio Express
Getting Started in XNA Game Studio Express
Your First Game: Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express in 2D
Creates a simple sprite that moves and bounces.
This will actually be the starting point for our first project...
