    The annual charge is &pound;39.99 (or it was) and you pay this when you register.</p>

    pretty easy to set up, and all registration is done through the 360. Some people set it up different to others. You still got all the instruction manuals etc?</p>

    You can get a wireless connector for the 360, which I believe is for this purpose???</p>

    All mine is done through a router, but my xbox is right next to the phone line. Quite a few others have 'live on here so maybe they have more info?</p>

    You will need a wireless connection of some sort - the easiest option is the X box 360 adaptor which you can get in Game for £60.

    Then it depends what you have in terms of broadband. I have a wireless Modem so don't need a router. Just plug the wireless adaptor into the specific port at the back left of the X box and then use the menus to connect it.

    You will need WEP code (or similar) to allow your X box to talk to your router / modem etc.

    I am not technical in the slightest, but it is easy to do.

    I am sure we have a number of geeks who could advise you better, and would argue that there are cheaper options - but it all seems too big a faff to me.
