Title: Damn You Memorial Day
Post by: BOSSNIG on May 26, 2008, 09:22:48 AM
I would've gotten my Xbox 360 today if it wasn't Memorial Day ;-;. Don't say, "At least you're out for a day." Because I'm out for summer as of Friday, May 23rd.

To make this thread useful. ITT we discuss things that have happened to you that are similar to this.

4 Games- Rainbow Las Vegas Part 1, Need For Speed Carbon, Rockstar Table Tennis, Halo 3

Damn, you're lucky. But you still need to get the wireless adaptor if you plan on doing Xbox Live. Big mistake on my part. DX

I'm pretty sure it comes wireless equipped. Maybe I'm wrong though.

I heard the Wireless Adapter is worthless, unless you are in the same room as the router, in which case you should just use a wired connection.

And no 360 has Wireless capabilities built in.

The official website seems to say differently (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/wireless101.htm?WT.svl=nav)

If I'm reading that wrong, does it just use any basic Ethernet cable?

You're right. I'm just going to pick up an Ethernet Cable like this (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4660731) when I go to Gatlinburg Wednesday. Hopefully 50 feet is long enough.

Crap... well, I'm using wireless to get to my router from my room to the loft, and it has to pass through a wall. Is it just the specific adaptor that's problematic?

The adapter can barely pick up a signal if it has to go through a wall.
