You will need the Xbox 360 wireless adapter($99), and a wireless G router. Linksys has a good one for about $50. If you have the original XBOX, I dont know of any wireless options available for it. Or you could opt for the PS3 with built in wireless. Regardless, you will need a wireless router to stream the connection to your console. I say stick with the 360. Hope this helps.
i have a situation i want to adress before i actually purchase xbox live.
i have my internet connection. (cable)
my router is in my living room close to the pc. and then my xbox is in my room. which is ummm across the house. (30-ish feet)
i need to know how i can get it all hooked up into my room. i heard there was some type of wireless adapter that could get it from my router into my room. but thats quite expensive i belive. or i can run it through the walls which is almost 100% not going to happen. lets not even consider that a choice.
what can i do?????
