So here's my issue I need to overcome in order to get an xbox 360.

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Mar 11 '09, 07:06

Let's just say I get the cheapest one (the Dell 20% off doesn't have that one) at $200.

Then I need a wireless network adapter to get online. That's $70.

Then I need a Live Card. That's at least $30.

Am I forgetting anything else?

So *minimum* is going to be $300 (plus taxes).

well, you dont need the wireless adaptor if you can use a wire. - truman mobile Mar 11, 07:22 1
- also, you could use any wireless access point device, there is a xycel router which you can get cheap which you - truman mobile Mar 11, 07:27
I didn't get the wireless adapter, I used a real cable. If it's a possibility for you it's much cheaper and more reliable -- nm - Guigue Mar 11, 07:16 2
- No, not really. The router is too far away (opposite side of the house). -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 07:20 1
  - Can't run cat5 with a repeater? -- nm - lileve Mar 11, 07:22
You can't justify buying it because the PS3 is better? Yeah, that's a hard one. Killzone 2 rockes -- nm - Redmond Mar 11, 07:14 5
- I like the PS3 for the idea of a bluray player, but the Netflix thing appeals to me more. - JaxSean Mar 11, 07:21 1
  - I was kidding. Trying to get a PS3 v Xbox arguement going :) I do love the Bluray though. The movies look IMAX quality. -- nm - Redmond Mar 11, 07:23
- just ordered it & I'll have it for the weekend :) -- nm - decline Mar 11, 07:19 2
  - I am going to setup the first Killzone 2 ST night next week. I am thinking about Wednesday at 5pm-7pm -- nm - Redmond Mar 11, 07:21 1
    - remind me next week, i may have internet by wednesday -- nm - truman mobile Mar 11, 07:24
Don't get the version without a hard drive, period. (That version also doesn't come with a wireless controller, I believe.) - Don Homer Mar 11, 07:09 1
- I'm pretty sure I see it all the time on Amazon for like $30. Now I remember what else I forgot to add in the total! - JaxSean Mar 11, 07:23
so what's the issue? price? - decline Mar 11, 07:07 1
- *goes to Craigslist* -- nm - JaxSean Mar 11, 07:20
rechargable battery pack and charger $35. But that pays for itself very quickly. -- nm - Remlik Mar 11, 07:07 2
- xbox controllers take regular batteries? - decline Mar 11, 07:08 1
  - Regular or rechargeable. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 11, 07:10
