New 360 Wi-Fi adapter priced... only $99

Original Story:Microsoft has announced that the new Xbox 360 wireless adapter will go on sale in the US this week for $99.99.

The new adapter is a dual-antenna effort which supports the 802.11a/b/g standards and the new, faster802.11n.

The latter will be necessary for anybody who hopes to stream 1080p videos over the Zune Marketplace when that launches.

We've asked Microsoft UK for news on a local release date and pricing, but have yet to hear back. The new adapter is currently not listed by UK e-tailers

Update:Microsoft has told Eurogamer that the new adapter will launch in the UK on 20th November priced £59.99.

Damn gotta get me one of these! I'll give my old one to my brother so he stops taking it all the time.

Cool. Another arm and a leg for features that should already be included in a Next-Gen console!

How long is your beard, and if I grow my beard will I save money from buying ethernet cables, HDMI's, Componet cables?

[QUOTE="RedruM_I"][QUOTE="wayne_kar"] i would of though Sony will need to bring one out too though. wonder how much they chargewayne_kar

N is uneeded though. G supports up to 54mbps, the same speed as Blu-ray. I stream hi bitrate 1080p content from my PC to my PS3 over the built-in Wi-Fi just fine.

So is Sony going to charge for N wireless adaptor?

Wired is good enough for me. If everything else in your house is wi-fi, I think people often think they have to have wi-fi 360 rather than realize that if everything else in your house is wi-fi, it doesn't matter if you move your router to where your 360 is so you can connect it via cable.

[QUOTE="wayne_kar"] no 802.11n it doesnt. if you want to steam HD you need nwayne_kar

As I just stated G has plenty of bandwidth for HD streaming. MIMO is overkill for a home network. It would make sense if MU MIMO was a standard part of N (concurrent HD streams) but its not. MIMO is only used for one connection at a time.

No it's Sony at its finest, provide the cheapest slowest alternative to anything then brag because it;s free. If I needed Wifi, I would want the best possible, not the slowest...

The troll is trolling.

The PS3 supported the fastest Wi-Fi standard available at its inception.

[QUOTE="wayne_kar"] G just doesnt cut the musterd for streaming HD. N uses MIMO which give a much more reliable signal. wayne_kar

Within the context of the topic it certainly does. Netflix, DirecTV, Dish Network, etc all offer HD streaming over a much smaller pipe (generally less than 10mbps) than what N provides.

No :evil: it's Sony at its finest, provide the cheapest slowest alternative to anything then brag because it;s free. :cry: If I needed Wifi, I would want the best possible, not the slowest... :cry:

:roll: wow some people just Hate because they are getting milked. 8) ;) They Hate so much they want to spread disinformation,:shock: so they feel happy about their choice:lol: ....

[QUOTE="wayne_kar"][QUOTE="furomaster_99"]There is G mimo(multi in multi out) and it works just fine. I get almost the same speed as a wired connection with mine. It's really more of a case as to how fast your service provider is.

furomaster_99

lol $99 what a rip off from M$.

why dont they just allow users to use a PC compatible USB wi-fi adapter on 360?
