I just bought an Xbox 360 and just realised how clueless I am about this. I received a deal to download a game from Xbox Live, but the problem is, my house does not have any WiFi.
So I was wondering if it would be possible to download the game using my laptop, and transfer it to a USB stick, then copy it to the Xbox?
In addition to the game, I received a one month gold subscription. What does that mean?

Your 360 also has a port for an ethernet cable which you can plug directly into the same cable your laptop uses for internet.
Alternatively your laptop may come equipped with the ability to become a Wi-Fi Hotspot which lets it share the wired connection out over Wi-Fi, which your 360 could then connect to. A quick search gave me this: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Your-Laptop-As-an-Xbox-Wireless-Adapter
Xbox gold is the paid subscription required to play games online. It also gives you other benefits, such as cloud storage for saves, and free games through the "games for gold" system.
