Question
hey, i know this might be out of your experties but is it possible to use my psp as a network adapter for my xbox 360 using a usb cable? thanks for any info your able to give me.

Answer
Gday Max,

That's a fairly interesting question.  

I'd say it is probably something that in theory could be done, but it's not readily available nor probably will it ever be.  

It would be something fairly complicated to set up.  You would need custom firmware on your PSP, custom USB drivers on your Xbox for the PSP to act as its wireless NIC card.  Some networking software on both them.  Plus the whole way the Xbox connects to the Internet is very very hokey (You would think Microsoft would have something better but there Internet connection is the worst of the 3)

Hope this helps.
