Xboxic » Live for PC: free for current users

Xboxic: "It has been revealed that should you already have an Xbox Live account tied to your 360, you won’t need to pay anything extra if you wish to use it for PC gaming. That’s right, Live for Windows games will cost you nothing as a current Gold member. If you don’t have a Gold account: the price is the same for a subsciption as that on the 360.

In exactly the same way as the 360, there will be the free but not-as-good offering of Silver, or of course Gold, still priced at $7.99 for one month, $19.99 for three months and $49.99 for a year.

This naturally means that your Achievements and Gamerscore are carried over, so any Vista games that feature Achievements will be added to your ‘Tag, and again carried back onto the 360 when you need it. Now you just have to wait until you can actually use the feature."
