you can also connect your 360 with a cross over,cat5 (your choice, i use a crossover) cable to your compueter's ether card if you have a wireless connection on the pc, bridge the connections through windows with a couple clicks, and your 360 will then use the comp's wireless (it's how i run mine) 15ish bucks at walmart for the card if you don't have one- i agree, screw 100 bucks for an adapter,.
