They're talking about the wireless receiver to pick up the signals from the wireless controllers. Microsoft still hasn't and probably wont ever throw in the wifi adapter.
Then why didn't they flat out call it WiFi? Surely people would get more hyped up about WiFi than a "Wireless Receiver". It's just the IR port. Microsoft would be hyping up WiFi like crazy right now trying to get it into everyone's head that they finally added it.
I need to get a new one for college (unless my roommate has one or I end up being allowed to take the PS3 up there (which would blow)) and the 60GB model is looking rather good to me right now.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Cool. Wireless receiver? Thats new. I wonder what that is.
Classic circuit city is what it is :p
its probably a built in wifi reciever so you don't have to buy one like on the original.
Finally MS is including the Wifi adapter! I hope the Elite gets updated with this included.
I doubt its wifi, probably just the IR receiver for the optional remote
@Phil then why did they say wireless reciever, if they meant IR reciever?
honestly, i dont think its built in...
its probably just that xbox wireless adapter

Just for the controller...they would have said wireless network adapter or something like that
