For whatever reason, some games come with a Windows Live code and some do not.  I can remember ordering Prince of Persia and getting a standard PC/DVD version with not code and being severely disappointed.   
 
After finding out that Gamestop was no longer taking Collector's Edition pre-orders I went to the EA store and pre-order the PC version of the CE.  My question is if it will come with the WIndows Live code so that I can still get some achievements.  I'm by no means an achievement whore but it does add extra little goals to the game to keep it interesting.  If it doesn't come with the code is there anyway to add it later?

From what I have read this game will not have Games for Windows Live at all.

1) There isn't anything wrong with being an achievement whore.
2) I'm pretty sure it doesn't have the GFWL.
3) If the game is going to have achievements its probably coming from steam if anything.

It doesnt use Windows Live at all, and for that I am glad.

i really wish it had steam achievements.  it would make me so happy if they patched it in.  i doubt that will happen tho

There is no Windows Live in the game whatsoever.
