Xbox Live at 60mph

On Wednesday, June 10, 2009


Want to piss off your wife. Ok so that's not what we are looking to do.. but lets say you just want to play your
Xbox 360 in the car .. on the road.. at 60mph. Yeah that would rock right. It does..

So my brother and his wife and my girlfriend were on a trip to SeaWorld. My brother and I decided it would be a boring 2 hr drive. So we did what any geek would do. We planned our geekyness out. It was almost perfect. The girls agreed to drive. I brought my 22inch flat screen. My brother grabbed his Xbox 360 and the Wireless adaptor ( Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter ). We brought a Power Inverter for our AC needs. You would need a large one for everything we were going to run. (Something like 3000watts Power Inverter ) We then brought my brothers CradlePoint PHS300 using a Verizon USB Broadband Card (Verizon Wireless USB760 Modem). We Plugged the XBox 360, the Cradlepoint, and the Monitor into the Power Inverter and were off and running. The Idea was that using WiFi we would connect to the CradlePoint and using the CradlePoint and the Verizon Broadband we would get internet.

So your first question. Ok sounds interesting but does it work. Sure.. and sorta.. and Heck yeah.. I mean we got dropped off a few times. We also had some lag. But we sure as hell weren't sitting in the car staring out the windows counting sheep.

You can also use other devices such as the new MiFi™2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot
from Verizon.

You got a better idea? Tell us about it!

    Very cool! I think the CradlePoint devices are a lot faster than the MiFi
