Xbox 360 to Get 802.11n Wi-Fi Adapter

[captaincharisma]

and yet neither system wins ever in these debates

what's the advantage of using wireless n on a gaming console? the bottleneck will still be your internet access speed which is probably 2-10mb for most people.. and at wireless g, you can pretty much stream HD video pretty smooth.

Xbox 360 in general is way overpriced.. i mean its a 3 year old pc at 299usd we could almost get a new pc for that price. IMO its a ripoff and to self termination.

Plus games and accessories cost a lot more then pc versions. IMO at this point in time pc gaming in cheaper then getting an xbox or a ps3 for that matter.

Fuck it.
I have no need for wireless.

I had a damned long cord laying around, so why would I buy a wireless for a static object?

Better be cheap but most likely it won't.

Well if Microsoft decides to keep both Wireless Adapters in the SKUs then you might be able to get the older one between $40.00-$50.00.

As far as the price I could see this retail for $99.99 Again this is not required hardware to run the 360 since it does have a Network Jack built in.

And while most people here complain and compare that the PS3 has both the WII ONLY has Wireless and you have to purchase a Network dongle separately.

The only thing Sony has proven is even thier name isn't enough for poeple to justify purchasing their console!

Can someone please tell me what is with this obsession with Blue Ray and the 360. Buy a Blue Ray player already and be happy. In a couple years the damn things will be $89 at target next to the Tide detergent. It not worth Microsoft putting it into 360.

Sony has been trailing for the past 24 months because of all the cost (and complexity) they put into the PS3. Many people, like myself, refused to pay $399+ for a PS3. When it dropped to $299 I brought one a week later. I now have games for both systems AND a Blue Ray player. The 360 v PS3 argument is old. Both have their positives and negatives.

As for the adapter, it should be cheap, no more than $50 bucks if that. Anybody who didn't buy the 360 because it didn't included wireless .. really.. really.. These must be the same people who cannot drive their car when the battery runs out in the alarm remote.

Wiring is cheaper still, I bought 300 feet of cat5e at Fry's with the crimp tool for $25 (was on sale from $49.99 normal price tag) and you can't beat that.

 

[hakesterman]

A complete waist of time. Make it built in and than you have something. What are you thinking
Microsoft?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Hakesterman - What Microsoft is thinking is furture upgradability for its customers.
