if you have a suitable internet connection try out xbox live, you have a free trial period when you sign up for your gamertag during the initial setup process when you connect it to the internet.

You'd be wise to get a play'n'charge kit and an additional rechargable battery pack for your second controller. They'll pay for themselves in a pretty short space of time if you'll be playing on it a lot.

I want my dad to look into buying that and also COD3 . Question about Xbox Live and using it Wirelessly. What equipment do i need for it?

I have a router as my PC's are already networked, using a BT Voyager 2100 Wireless Router, and im also on a 2MB ADSL Connection, with Demon. Am i also right in thinking that Live costs Â£40 a year?

Xbox live costs around Â£34.99 although you can often get a free game thrown in with it, but this is usually an Xbox 1 game.

The easy way to go wireless is to buy the Xbox 360 wireless adaptor, although it is a bit pricey.

So id just connect that to my Xbox and then it should detect my Wireless network? Can i also use a PC at the same time as the Xbox is online?

Yes, and you can use it all at the same time if the PC or Xbox are connected to the router either wirelessy or with a cable.

[edit]

You will have to enter your wireless networks security info into the xbox if you have any.

Totally agree with SnoopZ. The Official Wireless Adapter is the one to get.
