Ok thanks, but can i connect to xbox live on an xbox 360 ?
I'm trying right now, but failure after failure I can't do it, I'm going to try to move on USB key and re-download my Xbox live profile (that's what the error message advises me to do)

Hey Seized, sorry to hear about the issue connecting to LIVE! Before we get started, we'd like some more information. Can you please take a few minutes to answer the
bold questions listed
here, in full detail? Thank you!

The Xbox 360 Slim model should work out-of-the box with the following Wireless authentication methods: WEP, WPA, WPA2

If you are getting an authentication failure after verifying that you've entered the correct key/passphrase, please consult this troubleshooting guide for more help:

Here's a tutorial on Instructables on how to repair the left analogue stick failure.

Not that I think anyone should have to repair this. It's obviously a poor choice of materials that is causing the failure. Apparently the plastic piece that is failing in the XB1 controllers, was made of metal in the 360 controllers.
