Is there an SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer Edition? I have read there is, but I only see 2008 R1 Developer on Microsoft's website and can't find where to get it. If someone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I tried Microsoft's sales, but the person I talked to didn't seem to know. If I can't get it now I have to go back to the Express version.

I can't find where you can purchase the Developer edition on MSDN. I don't have an MSDN subscription if you are assuming I have one.

I found out that it is not yet available. You can buy the license from Microsoft Volumne Licensing, but you have to purchase at least 5, which I'm not doing.
