Default X Box Online

Ok quick question

We have just bought an X-Box off e-bay what do you actually need to get the thing online my 15 year old son whats to connect the thing up.

We have a 1mb broadband connection, we have a usb broadband modem we no longer use and i have a wireless router which i now use to connect my laptop via wireless and the 2 desktops which are wired so what for the x-box

cheers

if you buy one of the new games you'll get a month starter I think. Then just buy the starter pack and enter the code for it for a further year's pack.

Yeah the games we have are live enabled but we can't sign up without a promotion code i thought you could just sign up with your credit card and be done with it but it asks for a promotion code.
Legacy i'm not sure if that would work whether the code goes with a particular game etc but if youv'e got one you arn't using that would be cool
