Wireless router costs around more or less RM200. Buy the wireless router only if you want to place ur xbox away from your pc. But the wireless router will only act as a access point only, your pc be doing the routing work unless you buy a normal modem (non usb modem).

If cost is your concern. You should go for this setup. Use your existing pc as router. Buy a VGA cable to and use your monitor to play xbox360. Connection wise just use connect a network cable (cross cable) directly from your pc to your xbox360. But this setup you need to setup windows internet connection sharing (pc as router). This way your investment will only be VGA cable + a network cable.

Well,i dun mind purchase the wireless router but if do dat need to buy a wireless adapter iz it? Coz i dun mind usin my pc as access point..Modem with wireless router would it be cheaper thn a wireless router only??

It's either you connect your xbox to the network though wired or wireless connection. If wireless you need the wireless adapter. I bought mine around RM280.

Modem with wireless router would be more expensive than wireless router only. But that will save you alot of configuration than using a usb modem and relying on your pc as a router. I strongly recommend you get a router with ethernet modem combo or a router that has built in modem.

Okok..So i would need to get a modem with wireless router,then i would have to get the wireless adapter correct??

Yup. Ethernet Modem (dun get USB) + wireless router and a xbox wireless adapter. Any other brand of wireless adapter will not work.

Erms for this ethernet modem,do i need to purchase any wireless cards or sumthing like dat?

So i have to spend bout 2k to play xbox live lo..WOuld it be worth it ar?

Btw,i saw a thread dat recommend to use the Aztech Homeplug thing..I would like to noe wther iz it possible to connect using those too??

4. N for Xbox Live Silver is it one account for 1 Xbox360 or wat?

Need ur guys help alot.. hahaha.. cant wait to play GoW online wit my friends.. thanks..

Ethernet modem is suppose to connect to your router. Use a normal LAN cable to connect them.

2k including the xbox system? Everyone here spends more or less that amount of money. Its xbox live that keeps the community here alive coz we "gather" everynite in LIVE to kill each other

Let me throw in another thing for you to consider. The famous 3ROD problem. If you go modded you are on your on. If it happens your xbox is confirmed paperweight while unmodded you still can claim warranty if 3ROD happens. At least you have a year peace of mind playing your xbox. Buy from Gamer Hideout in cineleisure they will help you claim warranty if there's any issue. (Djinn need to give me discount for promoting )

Aztech homeplug... nvr use b4. Technically it should work like a wired network so it should be usable. If you op for this, you can use your existing setup, use your pc to share your internet connection and connect your xbox to your pc through the homeplug.

1. Last I check RM1300-RM1400 asian set. PM Djinn for more details or goto Gamers Hideout in cineleisure. Dun know abt modded price.

2. If you want to connect locally you only need a switch or a router with 4 port switch to network them.

3. No

4. No. 1 360 can have more than 1 acc. Silver or gold.

Check back 1 or 2 page back on some of my xbox live experience and some drawbacks of going modded.

you can ask bernard also...

thanks terencey....
1. So is it possible to play multiplayer locally without going online is it?
2. This can be done wit all d games out there?

For the xbox live account, you can have as many as you want for 1 console.
Each xbox live account need a valid hotmail account through.
And each time you create another new xbox live account , you will entitle 1 month free trial gold membership.

1. If "Locally" means you guys see each other face to face then yes you can play MP without going online. You play though "system link" on a local area network.

2. So far all the games I played has system link feature to play on LAN.

So that means dat i could buy those two homeplugs and then the xbox's wireless adapter to connect am i correct??

So sorry for posting so many times..

No need wireless. What you can do is:

Room 1 (Modem/router ----- Homeplug1) >>>>>>> Room 2 (Homeplug2 ----- X360)

For your specific situation:

1. Modem ----- PC (USB)

2. PC to homeplug (network cable)

3. homeplug to xbox (network cable)

The network cable would it be a normal cable or need to buy a specific one?

normal one should be...

For the question no 1, u mean on the same tv set or separate tv set?

Which bernard ha? alot of bernard here o.. hahah
