So i just sold my Wii and im getting a Xbox 360. I have about 300$ to spend. I figure i can get a system with a 20 GB for about 150$. The only way i'm gonna get MW2, is if i can get live. To get live, for one i need to buy it, and second i need a wireless adapter. Can i use any wireless adapter? Or do I have to buy an Xbox adapter? Which adapter is the best range-wise? Also, any other game suggestions? Thanks!

You don't need a wireless adapter if you have the ethernet cord i think its called that plugs in the back of your xbox. The cord is like 10 dollars maybe.

a wirless adapter for 360 is 100$ so if your gonna spend the extra money anyways you might as well buy a ps3.

if you don't have friends that play mw2 get a ps3. if all your friends have xbox get an xbox.

I'd get the elite, they're pretty cheap now. you can usually find xbox live cards for $30

i'm the other way around, the only time I play xbox is when my friends are on, playing games by yourself gets boring.

Get the Elite. It's worth the money. It has 120 GB HDD. If you are going to put TV shows and demos on it, them definitely buy an Elite. If not, just get the Arcade and use the extra money to buy games and controllers.

i've had live for a super long time, and never paid for a wireless adapter

this is what i do instead:

1. bring my laptop downstairs
2. plug an ethernet cord into the laptop from the xbox
3. make sure the laptop is plugged in (for some reason it has to be) and is using wifi
4. turn on xbox, pwn n00bs.

OP:

You can use any USB wireless adapter, not just the Xbox one. Don't listen to anyone on here Xbox>PS3 any day. The amount of exclusive titles for xbox is uncomprable to PS3.

This works, you just have to bridge your wireless and ethernet connections, which is fairly simple if you know what youre doing.

I was at a friend's house the other day and we broke out the 360 and played some halo reach. Trip down memory lane to be sure
