Homeplug is the way forward, Ł50 for a 4 port hub using your mains supply

xbox wireless dongle will only work with an Xbox, that will work with 4 devices. xbox, ps3, pc, laptop etc . One end plugs in to your router, the other part plugs in where ever you want and have power.

You can create a network bridge on the laptop to the xbox (via network cable) and use the wireless connection via the laptop.

I didn't want to pay the ridiculous price for the adaptor either.

Can you elaborate abit more? you mean turn on my laptop and then plug a wire from the laptop(which i can sit next to the 360) into the 360?

Does it work ok without lagging?

Yep using the ethernet port from the laptop hardwire it to the xbox.

This should help with the network bridge side:
http://videogame2play.com/platform/c...r-the-xbox-360

I don't have any issues with lag this way, would expect it to be the same using the microsoft adapter anyway, except this way is free (if you already have a laptop or wireless PC)

Bought Forza 3 yesterday. Haven't touched the 360 for the last two years but Forza is always worth turning it on again. I expected it to be a little bit more different and more challenging that Forza 2 but overall it's the best racing simulator game I've ever played. Started out with the Fez and have now converted the new Focus RS with engine from RS200 and rear-wheel drive. Sure it's fun (but hard) driving it all the way up the hill climb track without any traction control

There are no Drifting events in the season play, nor are there any drag races, these are just online and test driving (press left on the 'D' pad when testing your car)

Ive found online drifting rather fun, can get a bit crowded around that Fuijimi Kaido place at times though!

Oh, when we going to have a big group race instead of just trade car designs ? lol
Ive found an option in the "my designs" menu to gift the actual design for the car and not have to gift cars back and forth, maybe this would be easyer for us all???

Or are the designs then locked??
