In addition to the XNA announcements this morning, it was also announced that LIVE will now be free for Games for Windows titles. Games for Windows dude Kevin Unangst made a post about it earlier today and linked off to the details here.
Awesome but I pay for Live for my Xbox 360 so in the end it never really would have been free for me anyways. This is good news though. I see alot more people getting into Games for Windows LIVE games.
Excellent news. I can't fathom who thought it would be a good idea to charge PC gamers to play online. Obviously it didn't take.
Now the obvious question is: If LIVE on PC can be free, why is LIVE on 360 still subscription-based?
Hey major i know this isn't related but how come i keep getting this message everytime i come back to your blog in firefox? "website certified by an unknown authority:

So when does Xbox Live become free?
