Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a MS student rep in our school and I'm in my last semester so starting as a MS student partner is not feasible. I will look into the 30 days to launch contest though, there's still a lot of work to do on our XNA game but I've been doing 10 hour coding sessions for this to get it to where it is in less than a week, in any case it's worth a shot.
