...But you did see me the other day! If you're computer is close enough, just run an ethernet cable. When my kids come over for the weekend, they use the wireless and I plug into the ethernet so we can run both boxes. I also recommend getting the gold membership.
I did it was fantastic!...btw I pwnd those halo noobs. lawl!

Def. get xbox live gold. The downloads as mentioned earlier do cost money, cept some of them are free. On GH you asked about the songs.. abt 1/3 of them are free and the rest cost money. Halo has the heroic map pack for free but not the legendary map pack. XBLA has a buncha demos you can get for free :P Some nights when I get bored I just surf through demos for hours.

ok so ive never used xbox live before, and i know my new xbox comes with a silver membership for awhile, which is probably useless......i have some questions on how to get started whats free, whats not etc etc...

so i know a wireless adapter is like $99 bucks.....
can i hard wire it to my router?

under a silver membership i probably can't play with you guys right? but gold i can?
what can silver membership do?

can a silver membership download game expansion packs and stuff?
like mission modes for NG, and songs for GH3?

does it cost more money for that too?

obivously im trying to decide if i can do much for little to no money.......whats worth it, and whats not?
if ur gonna hard wire it to ur router all u do is plug the ethernet into the back of ur xbox and an ethernet into ur router. no wireless adapter.

u get a month free of GOLD membership, then it will degrade to a silver. (u actually get like 3 - 1 month gold trials)
with silver u will still be able to download extra content aka DLC (downloadable content) but most DLC costs microsoft points.
u can just buy a card from walmart that will have 1600 microsoft points for about $20.

also if u decide u want to play online regularly, i would suggest buying a card for that as well, because if u pay with ur credit card thru the xbox, ive heard theyll automatically renew ur subscription when ur time is up.
and get the year membership. its like $50 for the year, rather than $8 a month if u do it monthly

i would suggest getting gold. it just depends on how much u like video games.
i love playing online because it never gets old, its never reptitive. obviously no two games are the same when everyone is live.

I'd say you can borrow my account and test the waters if you want.. they don't allow xbox live in the dorms here so I've just been sitting on a service that I paid for a year ago and not able to even use it.

idk what id do if i didnt have my XBL, lol
this is my first year here (Purdue) and my 4th year of college overall, so i know NO ONE here.
i do so much hw and studying and STILL have extra time to play xbl, lol.
part of that is bc idk any riders here, so i dont ride, and my only few friends are in the MET program as well, so we just do homework together (yea its a blast, haha)

i would probably go crazy if i didnt have a connection to the OUTSIDE WORLD!! haha.
