What!

Damn, today i asked my mum if she could grab me one of these in Balclutha right? I get home, just for her to tell me it costs $170! Fuck, i thought that was crazy.

Is there any way to play my Xbox online in my room, without buying one of these things?

Get an ethernet cable or something

A really effing long one.

ya it is crazy i had to pay 100$ for one but you can buy a very long ethernet cable for cheap

i have cable. it works perfectly.

How long is said cable?

Can also look at a prog called xlink kai,
google it,
but basically, you ethernet your laptop to your xbox, and use your lappys wireless adapter etc,
not sure on all the details, i bought an adaptor, and heard of this the next day D:

I don't have a laptop, rules that out :/

might work with a computer, if its wireless?

Yes i have a wireless modem, right. But a wireless adaptor for the Xbox is required.
