Gold Membership Features*
Cost = $49.95 U.S. /year unless you’re a current Xbox Live Gold member which gives you automatic access to Gold features on Games for Windows – LIVE titles
LOL, they expect you to pay for PC Multiplayer for games like GoW. Like 50 fucking dollars to buy it wasn't enough.
Check off my list.

The whole PC live decision by them is a big mistake.

Indeed, for ShadowRun you need Gold Membership to play against 360 users.

Eh, I thought using Live on the PC was just an option? So you could talk to people on your friends list, gain achievements and so on. Extremely bad move if it's forcing you to pay.
Don't care about PC MP so LOL.

If it's forcing you to pay then they're up the shitter, but I don't think they'd be THAT stupid...
Wait, is it just for those two games? I mean..they mention UNO but who gives a shit about UNO?

No, like you need Gold to play with 360 users and use in game chat features and friend rosters and stuff I think.. Like two posts up say! =D. With silver you can still play I think, and that's free.

I have Gold already for my 360. I also have Bioshock on my PC rather than my 360, was wondering if it's just Halo 2 and ShadowRun that are running in conjunction at the moment...

Ah yeah that's it, a free silver account lets you play online, all the other features are with gold. If you already own a gold account from your 360, then it's win/win.

Looks like they already took down the "Try Live" part beside "About Live"
When you have it as
this that is.
Edit: Does anyone know how to set this up?

When I bought a game that needed it it sent me to the website, I think you basically need a 360 Live account.
