I'm thinking of getting XBl but i don't have a computer in my room.SO i have a few questions on how to get it

1: will a modem by itself be enough for online play?If so how much is 1?

2: how much is a ethernet cable?

3: Is bellsouth a high speed internet service?

4: how much is a headset to talk with?

5: Does the modem have to be connected to a computer in order to have high speed internet?

Thanks in advance. I might have more questions later on

1. Yes Modems are needed. Sometimes you can get them free from your service provider
2. 5-10 bucks again sometimes you can get one for free with your modem from your service provider
3. I believe it is
4. YOu can get one for 15 or 20 bucks
5. No modems do not need to be connected to a computer

yes you can have a modem in your room if you have a phone line for dsl or cable line for cable internet

Don't know about the memory units/card thing. Not sure what you are asking

Ok wow. Are you really that helpless that you can't even figure out where to buy these things. Where would one normally buy electronics. Maybe an electronic store or the electronic section at any walmart. at first i was willing to help but if you aren't even gonna use common sense and continue to ask even more stupid questions then the one before I am done lol.

It sounds like you should ask your parents, or whoever helped setup your internet connection.

Call your local ISP and find out dude. It would prolly be faster than waiting for a response from us. I actually used to go directly through my modem to my 360, now it just says its not connected to my xbox. Dont know what is going on there, so i just go through my router.

you can play on live without a harddrive you just need a memory card for you box to put the profile of yourself on and that would work you just wont b able to download any extra goodies that live has for you but its your choice ummm and if you do get a hard drive then get the big one its worth it in the xbox world if you going to download stuuf
