xbox live??

[bubbles83]

hi, my friend has just got an xbox and wants to put it on the net via a wireless xbox adapter. now he thinks you have to have this xbox live "browser" sort of thing to be able to access web pages, but i have heard it is �40 per year.

is this true?
do you need it to access thing like google etc or can you not go on these sort of sites with it?

any help appreciated!:-)

You cannot browse the internet with an xbox. You do have to pay �40 per year to play games on X-box Live though. This is all setup when you first connect it to xbox live.

You cannot access web sites using an xbox or 360.

I have heard of people formatting their xbox hard drives and installing other operating systems (wsuch as windows ) and usign the hardware effectively as a pc but it must surely be a complicated process and yo uwouldn't still be able to play your xbox games.

so before i can connect the wireless adapter i need to set up xbox live??

i have already got the live membership but not yet set up.

which do i do first??

thanks

You need an active internet connection to configure XBox live so you must set up your wireless adapter first.
