I was just wondering if anybody knew a way to get an XNA membership for free. Or if there are any trials for anything for it. If somebody could help me that would be absolutely lovely and I would give you a cheese stick

XNA Premium is $99.99 USD/yr. If you want a trial, find someone who has an MSDNAA or DreamSpark account they will have one XNA Trial/yr.

Yeah. So could I use my sister's .edu e-mail address to get it?
Will it affect her in any way?

Microsoft XNA is a set of tools with a managed runtime environment provided by Microsoft that facilitates video game development and management. XNA attempts to free game developers from writing "repetitive boilerplate code"[1] and to bring different aspects of game production into a single system.[2] The XNA toolset was announced March 24, 2004, at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California. A first Community Technology Preview of XNA Build was released on March 14, 2006. XNA Game Studio 2.0 was released in December 2007, followed by XNA Game Studio 3.0 on October 30, 2008. XNA Game Studio 4.0 was released on September 16, 2010 along with the Windows Phone 7 Development Tools.
XNA currently encompasses Microsoft's entire Game Development Sections, including the standard Xbox Development Kit and XNA Game Studio.
The name "XNA" originated out of the project's development name, Xbox New Architecture. Instead of being released under the Xbox name, the Xbox 360 was released (2005), and XNA came jokingly to stand for "XNA is Not an Acronym".
