xbox 360 wireless?

[Danny$]

okay, i'm planning on getting an xbox at weekend. the premium one. planning on spending about £300 (console + 1/2 games). but im gunna get live aswell..

anyway, when i got live how do i connect to my router?
is the xbox not wireless built in? or do i have to connect it to my router via ethernet, cos it's downstairs so that would just be awkard. "/ can i put in a usb dongle and it connects to my router via that way?

or is there any other cheap way that i can have wireless internet on the xbox..?

ta.

i'd rather put a cable downstairs but it is a bit of a pain but £40 cheap.. anyway
what you mean hook it up to my pc?
i have my laptop here so would i be able to put an ethernet cable from that to the xbox and would that work? or does it have to be the main pc, modem and router etc?
>.<.. gah.

i think you can hook it up to a laptop yeah

not sure how it works but you can definately do it

[Danny$]

hm okay, that would be an easier option but idk.. ): i might just buy the adapter.. we'll see! ;D

what about the usb dongle? would that not work?

[mangle]

Nope , they only let the official one work in the 360.

Connecting it through your laptop is annoying as hell. You need both switched on at all times, and for me it slowed my LIVE down a bit.
I'd go for a big cable, and run it along walls or shell out the £60 for the adapter.

[Danny$]

i'll try that then before i buy out else =] tar.

edit; ah kk ashley if you need your laptop on all time then thats a bit of a bummer. ;s i'll just shell out, much easier. i like easy solutions. ^^

The wireless thing is well worth it, because then I can use my xbox at my friends and connect to someones router, I can use it from my room and everything, it's worth the money. And I managed to get one for £30 brand new :)
