Default Windows Live = FREE

For all you noobs out there who actually want to play windows live...:thumbup:

Microsoft's struggling Games For Windows Live service, which promised an Xbox Live like online experience with voice chat, unified friend lists, and cross-platform play between PC and console, is about to shrug off its chief criticism: cost. MS announced today that it is ending the XBL-style tiered pricing structure – which put a year of Gold membership at $49.99 – and making the service free for all users.

The change is effective immediately, affecting all current GFW Live titles (such as Halo 2 and Shadowrun) as well as future releases. MS is also set to expand the service through a GFW Live Marketplace, due this fall. Like the XBL Marketplace, the PC-centric store will offer free and paid downloadable content, demos, and trailers (is this PC Live Arcade?)

In addition to these announcements, MS is working to make the GFW Live interface "much more PC friendly" (read: not like the Xbox 360's now deprecated "Blades" interface) along with reducing the technical requirements for developers. One criticism of the interface from the development camp has been that it must be built into every GFW title, rather than a stand-alone client such as Steam.

What is funny is how ps3 and xbox360 are both doing very horribly on the market. If you do want to compare the ps3 to the xbox360 take a look at monthly sales figures. I wouldn't say one is dominating the other at all.

Yeah. They had to make it free on PC. How could they justify charging people for something that's been free on PC for over a decade?

Companies don't usually go off monthly sales figures. They look at overall sales which the 360 is hugely leading the PS3 in America & Europe. Hence why FF13 for 360 is only being released in America and Europe and not the asian market.

Windows live is just like xbox live but for PC's, they used to make you pay for it but it looks like it's free right now. I thought it was because of steam but idk for sure.

COD4 is not a games for windows title and no you can't play the same pc title with 360 users.

Gears Of War, Halo 2 are games for windows and COD5 should be also.

I wonder if anyone actually bought one. They had to make it free to even compete with steam.
