£6 a month I pay via Debit Card...

It's absolutely amazing online IMO, Don't really bother with single player anymore.

COD's are amazing and I'm really into Grid atm.

Cons.. May occasionally have to listen to some american kids chatting s**t.

£6 a month? wtf. 12 months is only £30.

XBLA is the marketplace for downloading games.

xbox live is the subscription you need to do this.

Do i need any wifi gubbins to get it sorted? ( unlike PS3 )

 

[Clart]

you only need an ethernet cable if the xbox is near the router.

12 months via xbla is £39.99

monthly its £4.99 not £6

So i just need a ethernet cable ( can it be done wifi? ) and where do i pay/get gaming?

Ive got a old 360 , no HDMI , i use VGA

you will need:

- Wireless adapter circa £30 on Ebay, nifty in shops iirc
(Use an Ethernet cable if your router close enough! £5)

- Live card 12 months for circa £25-35 on Ebay,Game,Play.com etc. 40 in shops.

Once you done that you test your connection via Xbox console, network settings. Then follow instructions to create your username etc.
