We already had some indication that Microsoft's new Wireless N adapter for the Xbox 360 would pack the same $100 MSRP as its predecessor, but it looks like a new GameStop listing has now all but confirmed it, and the other big remaining detail: a release date. Unless someone seriously got their wires crossed, it looks like the adapter will start shipping on November 3rd, which we presume is also the date that the MSRP of the previous generation WiFi adapter will officially drop (to $80, last we heard), 'cause GameStop sure isn't going to be moving many of them at the $100 it's asking right now.

Enjoy upgrading that WiFi on your PS3, then.
Oh, wait--- YOU CAN'T.
fuck microsoft!
MS is surely missing the boat this time. At least the PS3 slim has gigabit ethernet. The least MS should do is bundle the adapter with their top SKU, the elite. Currently the "Elite" is hardly an "Elite" anymore.
WPA 2?
If not, then this whole upgrade is utterly pointless.
