    or will i need the use of laptop and ethernet cable as ive read so much about, which is kinda a pain in the ass :(

    You'll be fine with just the console, the new slim ones have a wifi adapter built in.

    Woops, sorry I didn't spot that bit of the post. To be honest, I've never tried using XBL over any of the "mobile broadband" offerings. In theory the bandwidth on that should be fine (though may be slow to download games/updates/DLC, and any traffic cap may be on the low side for that too), but the ping or latency (time that the information spends in transit) is often quite high, which can adversely affect gameplay. So there is a risk there, but I will defer to someone who has actually tried this as to whether the package is suitable or not :)
