People seem to think this a going to be an extra cost... when in all probability it will simply be an extension of Xbox live, i.e. if you have an xbox and an xbox live account it will spread over to the PC platform with all the features that xbox live has over GFWL meaning everything will be in one place such as your games list, film list andmusic list. i imagine being a mix of GFWL and Windows Media Centre.

Obviously being a PC you can access most, if not all, of those extra features on their own however that wont be as convenient as a self contained UI... heck it might turn out like steam but with added music and film stores.

But that's the point not all PC gamers have xbox live gold so it would be an extra fee for services that are currently free on PC. And a "conviniant and self contained UI" which loks you into a select few services and providers doesn't sound apealing to me, I would rather pick the best and cheapest movie and music providers and not have to pay an extra fee on top.
