Dan Fernandez posted an overview of 15 great features you'll love with the new Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions.
His list encompasses integration of LINQ, free ebooks, WPF designer support... and of course, the fact that the Express editions are completely free.
Did you know there's even an ISO you can download with all express editions included? It's a 900MB download that, when installed, gives you the complete express suite. All for free!
Dan's list can be found here.
And here's a list of direct links to download the express editions.

Also, you can download the XNA game studio 2.0 (beta), which installs as an add-on for Visual Studio. Yes, again, all for free... More information here.
Start downloading, I'd say!
