GDC 2007: Live For Windows to come in Gold and Silver, what else?

In a press con during GDC 2007, attended by GameInformer, Microsoft revealed the pricing scheme used for the Live for Windows Vista (or Windows Live, or Live Anywhere…) service. No surprise, it is the exact same pricing scheme used in Xbox Live, because Live for Windows Vista uses the same Gamertag and membership database as Xbox Live.

When they said Live Anywhere, they meant it.

The Silver Live package will be free, and the Gold package will retail for US$ 49.99 for one-year subscriptions, US$ 7.99 for one month, and US$ 19.99 for three months. And if you already have a Gold or Silver subscription on the 360, don’t bother – except maybe to remember your membership details when booting up Windows Vista and logging on to Live from there.

Well, it worked on Xbox, right?
