Q1- for xbox live, u need to go to marketplace to download stuff. Some of it is free like demos and video trailers, others arent like new gamer pictures and themes.

Q2-If u are talking about your old saved games from your xbox, u cant.

Q3- YES! xbox live is awesome! it is completely safe.

Q4- Only for some games, not every game. (BTW, get the whole package, not the core)

Q5- umm.. idk what u can do to make them better... put them on an HDTV lol. Out of those games i own ghost recon, fun game.

I'm pretty sure you need either ethernet or wireless adapter. You can try using that but I won't garentee it will work.

ere_in_cornwall · 09-23-2006, 02:59 PM

isnt a wireless adaptor a usb dongle? if not where can i buy and for how much?

braz · 09-23-2006, 05:20 PM

the linksys one i have, it was around 50-100$ (dont remember) you can buy it at a best buy or circuit city.

Yea. Or you can buy the one made FOR teh xbox for 100$ which is a little spendy. I just bought a D-link one for 50$ and havent tried it out yet, just got the flash drive to load the wireless settings on the 360.

That reminds me.

Make sure you do that, or else your wireless adapter won't work at all.
