Do i need a wireless networking adapter to play online on a xbox 360?

Question

I am thinking about getting a xbox 360 and wondered if i need a networking adapter (the one that is $100) to play online.

Answer 1

If you run an Ethernet cable from your modem or router to the back of your Xbox 360 you can play online, but if the router/modem is too far from the Xbox you will need the network adapter(you must have a wifi connection or wireless router).

Answer 2

Only if you want it to be wireless.

Answer 3

You will have to purchase that networking adapter if you wish to play on wireless internet on your 360. Otherwise, there is an ethernet port on the back of the 360 in which you hook up your ethernet cable that is connected to your modem or router.
