Okay, I want xbox live silver, but the ethernet cable isnt long enough to get from the computer to the 360, and I can't really move this setup, Is there any way I can connect to XBL without shelling out $70 (from the goodwill) for the MS official wireless adaptor? And I do have a laptop with wifi, if that can help.

Yeah, buying a longer cable is the cheapest way outside of moving your Xbox closer to the jack so that your current cable will reach.

Why check Ebay? if anything the shipping will cost more than the website i put in the Link. plus $8 for a 50Ft cable is a sweet deal
