Bloomberg http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pi...;refer=technology is reporting this morning that Microsoft will launch a new online gaming service in May that will enable gamers to connect with each other while playing their favorite Xbox games. The service will debut with the release of the Windows Vista version of Halo 2.
Games for Windows Live will be available by membership: a gold membership will cost $49.95 a year, but a basic membership will be available at no cost to gamers. The plan is to create a way for Games for Windows Live members and Xbox Live members to be able to play together (gold memberships only); this capability won't be available until June, when Microsoft will release Shadowrun.
