Kotaku - Helplessly watching this sweating man thrust all of his body weight into my bedroom wall, grunting over the whine of the drill, I realized I was seeing and participating in the perfect metaphor for my attempts to connect my Xbox 360 to the Internet in my new home.

@Kran yea that's the dream of my life, make you think im tough
No matter what kind of article it is, people like you always come along to troll ^-^
"no way im reading all THAT!"...
as if reading burns calories or somehow requires an extra exertion of energy lol...
it does take up time though, and people may choose to spend their time in ways that they perceive to be better.
Guess it's true: a fool and his money will soon part ways.
This is like saying I bought a car with no gas so it was really more cause I had to fell it up.
Guess what? When you buy a car you don't buy it for the amount of gas in it.
How is your home cabel installation, for internet, related to the cost of a service, that requires internet?
I guess Netflix costs $7+$260+RENT.
"He handed me the total. It was $260.44. And as he did, I swear, he smoked a cigarette."
What is the significance of him having a cig while handing you the bill? Symbolizism? lol smh.
and if i paid 1$ a week (which is a lie anyway its 60$ a year) then that would be fine because i could choose when i want to play, then pay.
instead i pay 60 at a time, and then realize that coulda been used on a game. and i mean this is after 6 years!!!! 360$ on just an online service!!! screw that crap. thats atleast 6 new games my game library is shorter of, 12 if i got them used! so thats alot.
i honestly hate xbox fanboys that split the cost of live into a few bucks a week, its pathetic lol. its like that 30$ steak and lobster combo i eat at redlobster, I eat it then would have to tell myself, oh its only 8 cents a day in a year!!!!!!! Lol yeeeeeeaaaaah screw that.

here's a quick example I just googled, not sure if this is the one my friends use.
I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives around but these devices should prove helpful to people who want the speed of wired connection but the convenience of a wireless connection.
and no ill never buy a microsoft console again,even if its the only console on the market,id rather play a pc.
Im only on here because xbl is down for me.
Most people are confident because of looks and few people know natural confidence.
No exceptions.
I'm fine with Steam, GOG and PSN.
Don't need anything else.
Despite the title, I was hoping the guy would have some leniency and reduce the price.
That internet better not drop at all. Ever.
Lol I am sure xbox 720 will have mmo's.. Pay to get on xbox live then pay to subscribe to a game? lol
This guy got paid 260 dollar to drill a hole in the wall and pass a wire through it, do you know how easy that is once you figure out where you can do it? I've done it before....in an attic with the temp hitting 120 degrees in the shade....
I mean I've seen electricians like this, then they say "oh I need to go get a part out of my truck" Really? You brought in 3 cases of tools and didn't bring this one piece in? Okay then....10 to 20 minutes later they walk back in "got it!"
As for the question of paying $260 to get the proper connections done for easy internet access, wireless or hard wired...Yes I would pay that if it was a place I knew I'd be living in for more than a year. If not then no probably.
For instance, myself, I have a 100ft Ethernet cord going from my router (in my room) through the attic, all the way to the garage (on the other side of the house) just so that I could get internet in my house. If I paid someone to do that for me it would have cost quite a bit...but instead did it myself for $60ish
