Well MetalZombie you're in luck.
You should be able to get all that you need with $200 bucks.
First of all you need to make sure that you have high speed internet. (that means cable or DSL, not dial-up). It also has to be XBOX LIVE compatable (go to www.xbox.com to see a list of compatable broadband internet providers). If you dont have broadband (high speed internet), you can either just forget about it, or you can frantically try to get it before Tuesday.
The XBOX LIVE subscription costs $50 a year.
You need to have a credit card.
You WILL need an ethernet cable to get the connection to your xbox, or you can use a wireless router( but thats more complicated).
Although you can get the subscription card and the communiactor seperate, I suggest getting the starter kit because it comes with a full year subscription (which is $50), either a full version of Mechassalt or Crimson Skies, and the XBOX LIVE communicator. You need the communicator to get the full LIVE experiance, so I suggest getting the starter kit because it will be cheaper and you get a free online enabled game.
The starter kit costs $ 70
The ethernet cable will cost between $ 8 to $20 dollars depending on length.
