Recenrly installed a wireless internet connection in the house so decided to see if I can get XBOX live and how much. Turns out its free biggrin However, do it says an optional connector, did that come with the XBOX?

Also, are there any hidden charges?

Thanks
Matt

Nope you need the Wireless dongle thingy... it's about £60 unfortunately! frown
Oh and XBox LIVE Silver is free and you get a free trial of Gold, but the whole shebang isn't free either!
Sorry to be the bearer of st (and expensive!) news!

If you can put your xbox near the router, use a network cable first to try it out before you go shelling out 60 quid for the xbox wireless dongle.

No worries chap! smile
As mentioned above, if you can use a wired connection; do!
If not, this is what you need. That's the cheapest it can be found at the moment. smile
