Problem is, they've got it set up in a manner you can't beat them...you just end up buying it.

they made it so no typical USB wifi adapter works - only an ethernet bridge or gaming link


What really kills me is that someday when you shelf your 360, the wifi adapter has no more use at all because you can't use it with your laptop or desktop.

Of course you can choose to connect your 360 to your laptop and share the internet connection, but that's a tacky setup.

The wireless adapter is a product that shouldn't need to be purchased. It should be built in.

I'm thinking Microsoft will lower the price of the old adapter and leave the N modelat $100 or more. I don't see myself getting it cause if I did, I'd have to also buy a N-router. Thus far, my current Fios G router is just fine and the connection to XBL is perfect.

And the thing is black? What if you want N on your white console...jesus christ.]]>Sep 20th 2009 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/

What's wrong with an ethernet bridge though? You said ethernet bridge like its a bad thing.

I wasn't going to shell out for the genuine wifi adapter, it seems like a really stupid way to spend money. I bought a linksys ethernet bridge that does the job just fine for a fraction of the price, and when all is said and done, I can always use this bridge on other things if/when I retire the console.

No one should ever buy their overpriced bullshit accessory.]]>Sep 20th 2009 3:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Nobody cares about your epinion.]]>Sep 20th 2009 8:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 21st 2009 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 21st 2009 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 19th 2009 11:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 19th 2009 11:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 19th 2009 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 19th 2009 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 20th 2009 12:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 20th 2009 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 20th 2009 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 21st 2009 10:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 19th 2009 11:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 19th 2009 11:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/"Dual band 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz Wireless A/B/G home network compatible"

Yeah free to you, not Sony as they continue to sell the console at a huge loss. The console business is a hard business like any other major industry with tough competition. People complain about this and that but are thinking as the consumer, not as those who have to appeal to a massive amount of people but still turn a profit. No doubt Sony and Microsoft have the money to burn, but they can't let it go on forever. Both the 360 and PS3 are selling at a loss but other things are going to make them money like games, accessories, and online play (for the 360 anyway). Pleasing the customer is number one, but at the same time making a profit somehow is too.]]>Sep 20th 2009 5:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/

hahahahahah, got something I did want included, AT NO EXTRA COST.

I think MS should drop the price by a lot but I still don't want it in the Xbox 360 if it means I have to pay even $30 more. I bought my Arcade only because it fell to a really cheap price, if it was even $30 more I wouldn't have picked it up.

Sure they can include it in the console. But you better believe you're paying for it somehow. Nothing is free, however cheap it may be.]]>Sep 20th 2009 2:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/Sep 19th 2009 11:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/

This is how all kinds of electric products are sold. iPods, Zunes, digital cameras, computers. When the new one is cheaper to make than the old one and obsoletes the old one, the new one is sold for less. Competition drives this kind of thing. But since MS runs a closed peripheral strategy there is no competition and they do things in a much less consumer friendly way.]]>Sep 20th 2009 1:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/19/xbox-360-802-11n-adapter-spotted-in-gears-of-war-2-box-longs-fo/
Is this modem that *might* be offered with GoW2 the same as the XBOX 360 Wireless adapter that is currently being sold in retail stores now? Would it work in the same way, on the same, basic wireless internet service that I have in my home now?
