I've had my 360 for a year and never bothered to hook it up to the net ..... so I got a $100 bestbuy card and was thinkin about doing the wireless thing for it but

is it worth it ...

I don't play that many games anymore sooooo I'm not sure what the highlight of live would be

I rarely use Live. Spend the money on something more useful.

I installed live a few days ago, and since then, I've downloaded numerous demos.

Even if you don't use it to play games... Just hook it up and you have silver, where you can download things from the marketplace like demos, trailers, etc.

I only have the wireless thingie to get vids n' music from the PC. Like ig said, spend it on something useful if you don't need it in the same way I do.

I tried to do live with the original xbox but you needed Ethernet cables and routers and god knows what else so I gave up. I haven't even attempted to set up live on the 360 and I've had it a year.

6.99 euroes for a month and you can download demos and vidoes, it is worth it.

you can get the wireless adapter at best buy,

but get the pelican label.  it is about $60 which is considerably less than the one with the official xbox logo on it.  that is what we got my son for christmas this year and the speeds comin off of it were outrageous.  you need to have wireless already in your house to use it though.

If you need more 12 year olds calling you a fag in your life than this is a must buy.

Newegg has a 12 month card for 38 bucks last I checked.

I love XBL...definitely worth the money. It's quick, efficient, and oh so sexy with the NXE.

I bet buying a long Ethernet cable would be cheaper and better than buying that over priced xbox wireless adaptor, not saying that wireless is bad. Cos it works nicely for my PS3, but that's cos my PS3 isn't far from my wireless router (it's just above it, upstairs) but if you're even abit far away, it degrades alot for online gaming purposes.

Also there's the monthly/yearly fee's, so it depends on how much you're gonna play online. He's not a teen with no job (hint hint) so paying for a service he might not use much might not make sense, especially when there's a serebaby to spend money on instead (I'm the e-godfather, it's my job to promote serebaby)

Perhaps you should start by getting SEREBABY'S name right then Skittles, it's SEREBABY, not serebaby.

Unless you personally know people who play on Live, I'd say no.

I've had mostly bad experiences playing with random people on Live.

12 years old are a pain tbh...my friend once showed me halo 3 on live...duh! I bought the 360 for the big single player title mostly... But in the end its all up to you, if you like playing with people its not that expensive.

Yep, I never bothered borrowing a wireless adapter that can crap out with poor connection - I just ran a wire down behind a bookcase and plugged it in. The only month of xbox live gold I had was the one month free trial, I like singleplayer.
