A commentary on the launch of Microsoft's Games on Demand service for Games for Windows - LIVE, suggesting that the pricing strategy of titles available is superior to that on the Xbox 360.

The Games for Windows – LIVE client is available to download now, and uses the same user-orientated properties as the Xbox 360. Players will have a unique GamerTag which operates on both Xbox 360 and Games for Windows systems, linked to a Windows LIVE ID account that also grants features such as a free Hotmail based e-mail account and soon personalised search engine results through the recently launched Bing, and can maintain a consolidated GamerScore of the Achievements earned through playing games on either format. The Games for Windows – LIVE service already offered Downloadable Content (DLC) for existing retail games, as well as trailers, demos and other associated content, and now offers full games for direct download.
