Xbox 360 Forums

The Xbox Live silver service comes free with the 360 but you want Gold anyway because you cant play games on silver, only download content etc. Gold costs like £35-40 or something like $60 I think depending on where you live. If you have a wireless modem, you can buy the wireless network adapter that plugs nicely in the back of your 360 and detects your wireless connection.

u mean u really cant play gimes with silver u need gold? r u sure? in the booklet it made it sound like u get special privelages when playing live with gold, nut u can still play with silver

no he's right you can't play online games with silver gold is needed for that that's why silver is free on silver you can just send messages etc.

Wrong on some weekends you will be able to play Games online probably just to encourage you to buy gold and carry on playing throughout the week.

Yeah so I was right not wrong silver doesnt allow playing games online properly, thats just a one off thing that will happen now and again.
