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

$99 :lol:

Silly Microsoft... when will you learn?

OR get a wireless ethernet bridge for alot cheaper that works just as well.

£60...

What a rip-off.

i think they should up the price of controllers to $100 as well. there's nothing like overcharging for things that should be included in the first place.starwarsjunky

Like Dual Shock 3 when it first came out?

Sucks for ther people that had to pay $50+ JUST for rumble.

[QUOTE="ndawgdrake"]

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

To drake - Last time I checked, the included wi-fi on the PS3 was a/b/g no N anywhere in site.

Actually it was out and not very expensive. Considering they charge $600 for the console anyway, they could have thrown it in.

Sure, I have to pay extra, but at least I have the choice. wired, G or N network.

Pretty expensive to add a feature to my 360 that's already included with my PS3 out of the box.

Only $99 huh? I got this one on sale for $40. Though it's $55 regular price. Still about half of what the MS one costs.

Only 100... how much it cost regulary 200?

[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.

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.

The typical microsoft. Over pricing things that arent even quality. I would rather buy this from a nother company because we know how bad Microsoft hardware is.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THAT THE LIK BELOW IS A FAR BETTER SOLUTION TRUST ME:D

Go ahead, and put as much fanboy spin on it you want, no company is perfect.

Just stick with wired, or if you need wireless, i recommend this. From my observations it works alot better than the g adapter, plus it works with the PS3, and PC as well.

Defending Microsoft is like defending Fox News. Even if the competition is also evil/idiots, more people think MS/Fox/whatever is the bigger of two or more evils.

OMG LOL WTF BBQ!!! M$ sure knows how to throw us a bargain!:lol:

Just to let you know, I had four Xbox's last generation. I bought all four of them Brand new, I treat all my consoles with super care, I don't smoke, I don't play in nonventilated areas.

Back then the Xbox only had a 90 day WARRANTY!!!

As you can see in my sig, I did play my consoles a lot last generation too. Yes, I did get a DRE on PS2, only one, but I can vouch that sucked too. My point was the Xbox was not some sort of super machine at all.

I still have Two working Halo Models, but my first two burned out. The Xbox was shoddy, but with the lower install base, there were just less complaints. I would assume you must have heard of this error :

"This disc is dirty or damaged, please insert an Xbox Disc". DRE's were popular last gen, but the larger install base will obviously have more complainers.

My buddy owns a computer and console repair franchise, and the Xbox repairs were just as popular for his stores across the states.

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

I agree.

I get drop out issues when streaming HD from my little dedicated media Server at home to the PS3. No problem on the PCs.

There is a way to get a USB N adaptor to work for the PS3 but it is just too much hassle to set one up.

With the amount of HD digital content and home media servers and clients you need a stable wireless network.

I recently got my self a Cisco- Linksys WRT610N Dual band N Wireless router that splits streams into 2 seperate frequecies.

The typical 24 ghz and one at 5ghz- which is great for playing games, big file transfers and streaming HD videos while keeping the 2.4 ghz free from congestion.

All the PCs in the house are Wireless N, I will get that for the Xbox360, but it would be a shame if the PS3 does not have that support because I normally use it to watch videos.

Nice to have choices, isn't it? :)MortalDecay

Sucks for ther people that had to pay $50+ JUST for rumble.

MortalDecay

way to contradict yourself there

According to Microsoft's pricing, half the cost of the Wii is for the wifi that's included.

Wish it came with a game. Even a crappy one. $100 is expensive.

cool for people that care about the wifi, i guess. i play wired, simply because all my systems are right by my ethernet port.

And the milkage continues.... :DRedruM_I

The milk a product that is not necessarily needed, and overprice it... and yet people still buy it.

come again?

not needed?

the only issue is the pricing not the fact that I have over 10 clients on my networkand I have a ridiculous amount of HD content on my media server and the achilles heal to my Home Theatre set up is because my network chokes up when ever I try to watch 1080p from the wireless N router to a PS3.

they should give it for free. grrrrrr

i'll get it in uk!

I promised my lil cousin a wireless adaptor because his birthday was yesterday so I guess I get him this one next month.

I so want it

I actually have no problem with the price and I do know that Microsoft does nickel and dime. That's business.

I do have a problem if there are no other alternatives that can be used with the Xbox360.

I'm still ticked over MS not allowing use of other storage devices on the console and only use what is approved by them.

If I found another adapter from a third party that is comparable and is cheaper I will go for it, I will not be impressed if MS limits customers choices in what alternatives can be used.

On a side note.

If there are more hardware devices for the PS3 for better streaming and performance I would be all over it.

I sold my old adapter to some guy few weeks ago for 75$ and got this one today for 100$. There doesn't seem to be much improvement in connection improvement it could be my crappy DLink N router. :(

how about a free ps3 one?

What a jip ….As always there're has been less expensive alternatives.....

When did PS3 get wireless N??

How is it being milked, when Xbox 360 is the only one that has Wireless N

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

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...

Very useless & a big waste of money. I or anyone else can just take an Ethernet cable & plug it on one end on the back of your 360 & the other end to your computer or laptop (with internet access, of course). That way, you'll have a much better connection & a much better signal. Wired is always better than wireless for online gaming, anyways.

I can just go out & buy a refurbished 120 GB HDD with that money. Speaking of HDD's, if their newest bundle came with a 250 GB HDD, & if it happens to be sold separately, I can't imagine how much it will be. Getting the 120 GB HDD is already at $150 enough as it is.

Drop your prices, MS!

Eh... Sony's wifi comes with the package. That's the opposite of milking.RedruM_I

I guess you must of missed the part where I said, if I need Wifi. My wired connection is more then adequete and faster then your waterted down mediocre PS3 Wifi connection. Then again, you cows are just weened to accept mediocre and waterted down and act like its somehow better because it's free. Cows and selective reading are the best of friends...

But cows don't want to stream the highest possible picture quality, they are happy with their free mediocre connection....

MzFit, yet again, you come with your answers which you decided to make up in your mind before posting. The wi-fi in the PS3 is not "slow". It was basically the same thing as the OLD $100 wi-fi MS sold. You never called that slow did you? Now this comes out, and basically now everything that is not this new wi-fi is slow?

Fanboys never learn, I guess :roll:

LOL at people thinking you need N to stream HD....well either my PS3 has it already or fanboys are trying to justify giving M$ more money because my PS3 streams HD 1080p content quite fine.

taj7575

Yea, you fanboys that seemed to miss the part where I said 'IF I NEEDED WIFI.' My wired connection is STILL faster then the Sony Wifi and if I wanted Wifi, I would want the faster alternative. Can you comprehend that?
