That brings up another question. What would I need to get the 360 online. I have a wired network... I run a home business so I have no intestions of messing with my setup (e.g. wireless). Is it as simple as connecting the 360 to the router?

 

you need:

1 xbox 360

1 ethernet cable

1 router or modem

1 internet connection

1 silver or gold account (silver is free, but you should get a month gold for free just by signing up anyways)

directions:

plug ethernent cable from your modem/router into your xbox360. turn power on. create an online account. and there you go.

 

You made it sound so simple :)

 

Perhaps I'm going off topic and should start a new thread but since you're hear.  What are the differences between Silver and Gold... can I play online with Silver?
