Question

Answer 1

yes you can from a gaming shop near you or on ebay which would be cheaper but the gold card you have to bye separately any way at a local game shop it will cost you £30 a year for a gold car and about £17 to £25 for the Ethernet cable  

Answer 2

yes u can get them cheaper  seperatly

u can get them cheaper on amazon or ebay

a gold card gives u all acess

silver  = u cannot download

bronze =  u can only play online live

u should have got  the cable when u bought the xbox 360 !!
