Sure, but you could argue that if you bought a fancy TV, TV stand, and XBox 360, it would also be for purposes other than just FF13. :)

You *could* just run a longer ethernet cable and stick your router in the middle of your apartment. And run another ethernet cable to an XBox 360 in your living room, for that matter.

Not really feasible--that'd be 100+ feet of cable, basically from one end of my apartment to the other.

'Not really feasible' is the wrong descriptive phrase here. There are plenty of 100' ethernet cables out there. 'Really ugly' is the right descriptive phrase. :)
