WTF? £30 for subscription and £20 for a bridge.

£50 !!!!

Plus, you don't need to bridge it. Either run a wire to it or just run it through your laptop wirelessly.

could be quite costly then................well £100 to get up & running (£40 subscription & £60 for the wireless thing)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm I hardley ever use my 360 tbh, Ive only got 3 games & got bored with them quick!!

Should I go live or should I buy another 2-3 games & try to get into playing it :boggle:

My signal strength went from red/yellow dots on Rainbow Six to constantly being Green, go figure.

And I swapped mine for FIFA07 which cost me £20. Not getting much cheaper than that tbf.

Stronger signal lol Just buy a high quality bridge then for a bit more money, still cheaper.

I swapped FIFA07 for my Official Adapter :D

Plus it holds a stronger signal and my PING has always been better since usng it.

I wouldn't buy the official Microsoft jobby, costs £60ish....waaaayyy too much! :|

A wireless ethernet bridge does EXACTLY the same job and only costs £15-20 on ebay.

Mine's wireless.

At first I had my Xbox hooked up to my PC (which was wireless) and that worked fine.

Then I invested in the Microsoft Wireless Adapater for the 360, so I didn't need to turn my PC on.

Xbox Live is a must.

You are missing out. Big time.

Not just the online play, but the ability to download demos and stuff too!

Plug in an ethernet cable into the back of the xbox, then get your debit card out and pay £30. Done.
