That's the version I'll be getting.  

 

Does this play anywhere work with Steam on pc?  Because if not it's a deal breaker for most pc gamers.. 

I don't see why it shoudl be. I haven't looked into playanywhere at all, but isn't it where if you have a gold live account, you buy a game you can play it on xbox and pc?

So say I have a powerful PC and want some xbox exclusive games. Instead of purchasing a $300 One S, I pay $50 a year for Live.

Seems like not so bad a deal. Basically buying a One S for $50. Meanwhile getting to use your preferred control style, gaming set-up, ect. Not sure how much live will waterdown the pc online experience.

Or do you not even need a gold account and can just use a free live account? Which yes, using otehr programs than steam are annoying, ORIGIN i'm looking at you. It's still better than purchasing an entire console.

You do NOT need a gold live account and the multiplayer is even complete free on PC.

You don't even nessesary need a XBOX, if you know someone with an XBOX you could buy the game togheter, pay half, he could play it on XBOX and you on PC, he can even use his OWN account on XBOX since all you need to do is log in to his xbox once and then he doesn't even need your password, the digital agreement from Microsoft is great!
