You dont need the adapter unless you want to do wireless. You'll lag less if you use ethernet anyway.
So the answer to your question is yes...You can use the ethernet.
Don't forget to use your 1 month free before you buy xbox live.
You can use wifi, if you got a strong router. Ethernet is way to go though.
Yea, an Ethernet cord is a direct connection, if you use wifi you might run into the problem of having obsticles that interfere with your connection. Try looking in the used bin if you want a cheaper adapter, that's where I got mine (for $15 bucks to). You can also check at best buy or radio shack or walmart to check prices (mostly they will be the same but you can try anyway).
yeah dude you can pick up a 50 ft ethernet cable at home depot for 23$
Or you can get CAT-5 Cable (little cheaper) and cable clamp your own ethernet cable.
