XBL is more or less $10 a month. You require a high speed internet connection (DSL/Cable only) and a one-way ethernet cable to hook from your box to the source of your internet connection (router, cable jack, etc.). Now, I'd like to add that you won't be able to use the 'system link' ethernet cable that Microsoft sells for Xbox. I learned the hard way that those are two way and won't work for XBL. Once you have all that, you'll probably want to buy a starter kit which comes with a year-long subscription to XBL and a communicator headset.
Get those things down and you're all set to install.
