The new Xbox360 will include a Silver Live membership, which will give you access to features like the marketplace, downloads, etc. Basically everything except online gaming, which will be included with a Gold membership that will be the same price as the current Live subscription of 49.99. As far as attaching the new Xbox360 to a wireless network you will need to purchase the wireless adaptor. Hope this helps...

Quade 13 is right, but silver is free though, and if u have a current subscription that is paid off till 2006 it will transfer over to the 360.

Glock 19 is an unknown quantity at this point

I heard wireless can be a little sketchy, so I am going to keep mine hard wired as my xbox and tv are near my main computer where the router is.

If you have a wireless router for the old xbox you can use it. Also nither of the 360 packages come with the wireless router (its $100.)

With the Silver Live option you will be able to play for free, but only on specific weekends. So you may find that out of four weekends you can only play on two specified weekends (just an example). Plus with the Silver pack you cannot take part in any competitions MS set up on Live.

For the Gold service most definently. Not sure on the Silver but I think you will, because there is the option for Premium content download for Silver users.
