- Easy!!
I have a wireless set up at home running a desktop PC and a laptop, I have a Belkin wireless Router and had a hell of a job getting it to work with my ISP AOL (yeah yeah i know!!!)so I kinda got myself ready for an afternoon of grief when I wanted to hook my Xbox 360 up to go live, but I have to say it was easy, and i mean very very easy, you just plug the Xbox 360 Wireless Bridge into the port at the back of the console find your Network, pop in the keycode and your off and running, this is a must have product for anyone wishing to play live games and the ease of use far outweighs the cost.

- Great, reliable way to get xbox live but there are cheaper alternatives
I went into Game and the shop assistant made installation of this wireless bridge sound much easier than it actually is.
It all depends on your wireless network at home. If you installed and created it all by yourself from scratch then it will be much easier than if you hired a proffesional to do it.
I personally had a proffesional to do mine so it was therefore harder to get past various security passcodes on my home network. Attaching the wireless bridge couldn't be simpler, no toolkit needed, it just clips safely and neatly onto the back of your xbox 360. Once attached you go to system and select network settings and then it will search for any wireless network. If you have a wireless mouse/keyboard it will also find that. It can often take two to three attempts to find your network. The hardest part is security. Passcodes and computer settings may have to be input. Once past that everything else should happen automatically, and then you pay your £40 a year to get gaming (credit card or voucher.)
But, my mate bought a reciever that cost £40 and its £60 for the bridge a whole £20 saving. The reason is that it just isn't as reliable as the microsoft model. Often his connection will fail and his game ended mid-session so maybe £20 extra is worth it maybe it isn't.
Whatever you get the gaming is unparelleled with constant voice chat and your allies shouting "take cover" or "pass it here." Two games I would recommend are Ghost Recon: Advanced warfighter and Battlefield 2 Modern Combat.
However you get connected Xbox Live has no competition for being the best online gaming platform.
I hope to see you soon on xbox live!!!
Rating: - Xbox360 wireless thing + Media Centre PC
Ahh, at last. It took a while to get all the bits to talk to each other. I'm no techno wiz, but linking the two items together was reasonably straight forward, just disable (Norton Firewall) if you have it and away you go.
Xbox360 is great, fab games and great user interface makes life a doddle, but when you hook it up to a Media Centre PC, a whole new world opens up.
Record digital freeview television (if your TV card supports it), link in your iTunes, drop all your photos and home videos into media centre and away you go.
Simply put, the most user friendly way to organise your media into one, all be it, simple interface and location. A boon.
Well done Bill, you have my permission to take it easy, and disseminate some of your wealth to the people who really need it.
Have you taken the Michael in the past? yes, but hay, I'm in no position to give Billions to charity, if I was I would, so thank you.

I used to have a Linksys WGA54G Wireless-G Gaming Adapter but that was a waste of time, money and effort I heard it was compatible with 360 but I just couldn't get it to work, honestly if you want an adaptor for xbox live on xbox 360 this is the item for you I'd strongly suggest that you buy it, I have had no problems with it what so ever all you got to do to install it is use your 360 enter your details like your WEP into your 360 it automatically scans for your IP address and whalla your set up and ready to go and no having to use a PC just the 360 it's soo easy and takes 2 seconds to do. Really this item is soo good just buy it trust me it's worth it okay It's expensive but I repeat it works the way you want it to work and Installation is as easy as can be

- Whats the point?
Just get a wireless ethernet bridge. Costs about £35 and does exactly the same job.
You may think this will save you some trouble but you still have to tell your router to go to the xbox live IP address. So in every respect its not worth the £50
