Okay i will start off by saying that i use and like XFire,
But the problem with pc gaming and xfire is that everything is scattered around too many place. While i do not like the fees for GFWL it is welcome that everything is in one place. Unlike having to run xfire,ventrilo,bittorrent for peer - to - peer, and many other programs. Off topic: Traction r0xx0rz ur b0xx0rz.
On Topic: AlexTepe you are ultimately stupid. XBOX Live is most likely the best online service for consoles. As for the Wii it is good for family games and parties but hardcore gamers won't find any interesting games on it. Sure the Wii has Metroid Prime, Super Smash, great games i have a GC and a DS and those games rock. But on the other hand XBOX has Gears of War, GRAW, RS:Vegas, Assasins Creed. Most of these games probably won't come out for the Wii. Why? Because it's a family console.
Also having to run Ventrilo and constantly alt-tab for video chat during gaming is in my opinion an annoyance. Especialy when Ventrilo hates me(don't ask it just doesn't like me). Yes MMORPGs are a great input. The reason? You pay for high speed servers.
However usual pc games lack a lot of the properties that make console gaming so much fun. Now it is finaly moving to the pc but it is slow.
The attribute I am talking about is customization. Most console games allow you to have a personal look. Now hoepfully GFW is going for the same purpose. Vegas has customization. GRAW 1 does not, despite it's XBOX counterpart having customization. But that is what made GRAW fun on the xbox. Instead of having 8 same looking muppets running around on a map.
If Live will offer me customization in the future i am willing to pay those 50 USD......
