As usual a lot of unaccurate information on passionford! As said above no xbox comes with wireless network adapter built in, it can be had for £40 online in most places and zavvi are doing xbox live 12 month subscription for £29.99.

The online adapter does not get you kicked out of games, though for latency and speed, cable is better as it will connect at 100mbps. The difference in the elite and pro 360's are colour and hd size and the elite comes with a free hdmi lead. I think the pro is excellent value at £159.99 or cheaper and some good deals available on it.

Pc World have a clearance on older games starting from £2.97 so may be a few games worth picking up. As for PS3 and online, it may be free but it is far from Xbox live quality and the playstation store is poor. Its like paying Reyland £30 or getting a service from a bedroom trader.
