pretty straightforward question but how do i connect to xbox live? do i need a disk or is it something else. cheers

no, just an internet, wifi connection.

you can plug an ethernet cable from you modem into your xbox and you're good to go.

or if you have the black xbox, that has built in wifi so no need to buy a router.

you will need to buy a subscription though, either monthly/yearley.

you can but them throught the xbox live marketplace or from a game shop.

Much cheaper to buy online than via Microsoft. They quite often have deals though so watch out for those £1month for 3 months and similar. If your not sure how much you will use, then just take a month / 3 months to begin with.

thanks lads.what would happen if i plugged my dongle straight into the back of the console? would it work?

[Nelsta]

it would yes, but not as straight forward as plugging it in, it's easy to set up though.

here's a guide on what to do.
