Microsoft has revealed the US pricing for Live for Windows Vista, the Games for Windows version of Xbox live.
Game Informer has got the scoop and reveal that Live will retail at the same price as the Xbox live subscription service.
Just like with the Xbox 360 there will be a free Silver package as well as a Gold package which retails for $49.99 for a year subscription, $7.99 for one month, and $19.99 for three months.
Good news for gamers who already have an Xbox Live Gold Membership – you’ve already subscribed. Your Live membership works on the Xbox, Xbox 360, and Live for Windows. Your gamer tag and achievements will be used across both Xbox and Vista PCs. Upcoming Vista games like Halo 2 and some exclusive Vista casual games will include achievements and will be able to add to your gamer score.
We'd also guess that the UK price will be in line with the current Xbox live subscription price which currently ranges from £35-40 for the gold account. We'll have full confirmation as soon as it's announced.
