So I bought a new wireless router today so I didnt have to get my wire from the living room to the xbox ethernet port..

I turn on the xbox.. no internets.

Confused

puzzled for a moment i took a look online to find out that the 360 doesnt have built in wireless..

Now, my first impression was ":roll sigh, microsoft"

So I went onto a few sites to find the xbox wireless adapter.

SIXTY COCKSWALLOWING POUNDS?!?!?

They seriously want me to pay £59.99 for a fucking wireless adapter?

Go die in a fucking fire bill gates, I fucking hate you.

Thats another reason I bought a PS3 (aside from wanting it). Free online play on the PSN.

Everything involving the 360 costs money. You have to buy the game, pay to play online etc

It should come with a wireless adapter. But MicroSHIT tries to squeeze as much money outta its customers as possible.

Thats why the only games I buy for the 360 are exclusive games.
If a game is multi-platform (and not PC), I buy it for the PS3. Just incase it has online play, I can play for free.

Hence the upcoming MAG game.

EDITED for a dumbass typo lol

Can't you move the wireless router next to the 360 and connect it with a cable? Or buy another very cheap wifi router and use it as an access point, and connect with wire?
