Absolutely free online for a xbox 360? i mean absolutely free!

is there any way to hook up a360 online for free just like you do for a psp?

(using a wireless router, which i have, to go online with absolutely no ISP)

i know you need to buy a wireless antenna, which i have

Its called Silver. Its free, but you can't play against people. Otherwise, its illegal and likely impossible.bulletproofcow

It's called Xbconnect.com. Is it good? I don't think so. Is it worth the trouble? No. How is the community? It's made up of people who either got banned from Live or just don't want to pay. Is it legal? Of course. What's the catch? You can only play some system link games.

You get what you pay for.

i meant is there a way to use my neighborhood wi-fi on my xbox 360?fiercekiller93

Wow, talk about vague description(I'm talking about your first post in this topic). Yes it's possible, but I think it's illegal to use someone else's connection, it's kind of like stealing cable if you ask me, but I dunno the whole legal matter of it. But yeah, if the person can't do something simple as block their connection then they probably won't notice that you're using it anyway.

Damn guys, xbox live is only $50 a year, thats only $4.17 a month. If thats still too much then you need a hobby collecting rocks or something. darkserpent213

Really, and if you are smart like me you will get on Ebay a get a 1 Year Subscription for $25 to $30.

So not only do you not want to pay for Live, but you want to hijack someone else's wi-fi signal as well? That's pretty lame no matter how you try & justify it.

its only 50 a year..its really not that much.

I disagree that Xbox Live doesn't cost much.

We get nothing in return for the 50 bucks a year. All the features like friends lists and whatnot are all free with Silver (like they should be). Sending messeges somewhow requires you to have Gold. Which makes no sense. Every other console out there you can send messeges in the same way and they are free from charge.

Also, online; no dedicated servers. Lag-free? Also no.

So please tell me why we are paying 50 bucks a year? Is it because we have no dedicated servers while the PS3 for example does? Is it because in addition to the 50 bucks we also need to pay for every little arcade game and even every little gamerpicture there is?

Seriously, I don't get why people are defending the price to play online. We get nothing in return for it. And we still need to pay for every bit of content we download in addition to that yearly fee.

...because it's exceptional value for money when compared to the likes of Final Fantasy 11. We get to play any online Xbox game (except Final Fantasy 11) for as long as we want and I don't have that much lag experiences, but I have a very high speed connection, so maybe that's why...and as for Sony...

Sony have just begun their online service, they're just getting everything set up and I wouldn't be surprised if a year down the line they start charging the same price that Microsoft charge for their service. I think Microsoft will be hard to beat though when it comes to their Live service.

If Sony can milk money from it, they will. All the companies do it. The thing is, Sony is watching Microsoft, Microsoft is watching Sony, Sony and Microsoft are watching Nintendo and Nintendo are watching Sony and Microsoft.

They're all studying each other's ways of doing business and right now, people don't mind paying Microsoft 50 bucks for Xbox Live Gold. Sony still haven't managed to sell enough PS3's nor do they have enough games to start charging for it, but when the time comes (Namely a price cut) and people start buying PS3, and developers are bringing out games, Sony will then start charging for it, it will probably be the same price, but they will start charging because Microsoft's Live is a success and Sony will want a peice of the pie.

They didnt charge for the PS2s online so I doubt thatll change now.teebeenz

Yeah but lets face it, PS2 online was poor and if they did chargedfor what they had then nobody would have used it. I reckon wait till HOME comes out, increase in online connectivity with PS3s as people will want to use HOME and SONY will soon start charging for it. Maybe they won't but thats all they will have over live, you just don't feel connected with the world with a PS3. With Live the really superior thing is it always seems as though you are connected and SONY hasn't yet achieved that with PS3's online features yet.

The PS2 had a handful of games and the PS2 wasn't an online console. In the newest Generation of games, online gaming is a principle part of it. The PS3 has been designed to be online, the PS2 did not.scriptwrite

And to you and me it sounds and is easy. For most people it might be a problem even if they did go there.

Even if you connect it to your neighborhood wifi, its absolutely impossible. Doesnt matter HOW you connect to the xbox servers, once they detect you console, they will see if your subsription is active. If its not, you dont get on. Even if you dont pay for internet access.
