If you get the pro version it comes with an ethernet cable you can plug straight into the router. for Xbox live you can either buy a 3 month card, a 12 month card, or when you sign up for Xbox live and you have a credit card number on your account info you can choose to have a $5 per month charge for xbox live

& make sure it has the Falcon chip in it (Elite version l'm sure of). To have that chip, it's gotta be made duing this year.

why do i need a falcon chip and what is it?

The falcon chip is being used to help prevent overheating, but won't stop it completely. The lack of proper detection and system shutdown is one of the main faults.

The "repairs" that are going on, really aren't repairs... they are installing one additional heat sink and another processor fan; the issue still exists with poor ventilation and poor motherboard design. As stated by Microsoft "it is an engineering problem".

Falcon chip.
