Nov. 14, 2008 Paul Thurrott | Paul Thurrott's Supersite for Windows

Typically, you get this with a new game, but if you’re curious about the new Games for Windows LIVE, here you go.

Brief Description

Redistributable package for Games for Windows - LIVE v2.0. Upgrades the version of Games for Windows - LIVE on a user's machine to version 2.0.

Now, if I could just figure out a way to launch the UI without buying a new game. :)

Since we're talking video games here...MS met one goal: It's beat out Sony...but it failed at another: No 1st place in this console generation: >> October Hardware 803k - Wii (+14%) 491k - Nintendo DS (-9%) 371k - Xbox 360 (+6%) 193k - PSP (-19%) 190k - PlayStation 3 (-18%) 136k - PlayStation 2 (-22%) - Nintendo finally got the wrench out of its supply machine, allowing the Wii to rise 14 points over September's numbers and enjoy "its best sales month outside of last November and December," according to NPD's Frazier. - The 360's price drop is probably still the major factor here, helping Microsoft maintain and even move slightly ahead of September's numbers. Fable 2's sales (see below) may also be contributing, given its hypothetical crossover appeal. <<
