Question About Xbox live.

I don't own a 360 just yet, but I will in the near future. It's on my Christmas list, along with a lot of games to go with it. But, I want to be able to play Xbox live right out of the box, but I have no phone outlet or anything in the back of where it will go, with all my other gaming systems. I recently bought a wireless router, so I've got my Wii and laptop getting internet off that, so will my Xbox be able to get it through wi-fi as well? WITHOUT buying anything extra? Because I'd rather have more games then spend $100 for wi-fi adapter, on top of the what? $50 price of annual Xbox live?

I just want to spend as little money as possible to be able to get on xbox live.

Well, they aren't too close together. They're in two seperate rooms. So, I guess I'll just have to fork out the extra cash. Which is cool, I guess. I'm just gonna be super short on cash after the holidays.

Any 360 games with great online play? (Besides the obvious Halo 3) Most games I'm looking forward to playing are focused more on single player.

You can buy wireless network adapter for $ 100.

Wireless is garbage. Don't even think about it. Get a cable and run it as far as necessary. Sauce74

How is it garbage? It works fine if you have good internet, there is no noticable difference, and it removes the unnessessary clutter. Please stop giving people false information.

Wireless is unreliable, no matter what speed or quality of your internet. Clutter? One wire running from your Xbox to your modem/router is not clutter, it's reliable and much faster. Any number of things can interfere with wireless connections, walls, other devices which emit interference (most electronics), and other devices that use wireless signals such as cell phones. My information is not false as you would like to believe, it is quite the opposite.

The wire isn't massive. Besides, you can't contest that a wire isn't better than none. A direct connection is always better than wireless. For fps, it's vital to have all the speed possible. I highly doubt all you said about the wireless connection running through concrete basement and two floors of a house.Sauce74

Not everyone has their Xbox right next to a modem. If a modem is a room apart from an Xbox, like me, I wouldnt want a long wire running through rooms, its just not worth it. The speed is not noticable while playing FPS, and I couldnt even tell the difference between wireless and wired, other than the ugly green cable I had running from room to room.

Dont make it seem like the comparison between wired and wireless is a world difference, its not. Wireless > wired
