I have a 50ft ethernet cord running from my room to the computer room where the router is. It works great until someone trips over it.

There is an Xbox wireless router that goes for 99$. but most people have their box setup near the home internet router.

Thats what Ive been looking at picking up. BUT, I may be moving either the network equipment or my room, so I should be able to hardwire directly into it.

Did you lose anything in the transfer? I lost the benchmark test tracks and a few cars that I bought right before transferring.

Haha - nice! The wife started our marriage off right with a new xbox.....can't bring myself to sell the old one, going to keep it as a backup, for obvious reasons.

Whenever you finish a race, go down to Leaderboards. From there push X twice to see your friend's scores.

Just like a real car, you have to remember to clutch in BEFORE you upshift. then only clutch out after the gear has fully engaged.
