I just moved, and my 360's current position is farther from the router than it used to be. My old ethernet cable is not gonna cut it anymore. I figure I have 3 options.
1. Bite the bullet and get that wireless dongle. It's $100, ouch.
2. Hack together a wireless reciever with that firmware upgrade. A little cheaper, but it's more crap behind the already crowded TV stand.
3. Buy new ethernet cable. This also sucks. The one I had was 50 ft. (I think). Going up to a 75 or 100 ft. cable, they get pricey.
Is there a way to join two cables end-to-end? What would this device be called? I have the 50 and a 15 ft that came with the xbox. Together, they should be sufficient.

Not too bad in terms of price. Just don't buy from somewhere like Fry's, Best Buy, Circuit City... they rip you off on cable pricing.

I ended up buying a cable off of Newegg for $15 shipped. The shipping was more than the damn cable. Oh well, still a hell of a lot cheaper than CC or BB.
The only place you need to buy cabling from, period.
