Xbox 360 WiFi adapter may be the biggest rip off of the 21st century.

Seriously. Its a usb wifi lan adapter. Is the orange/green light the reason for this mark up? Is it the nifty 360 grey plastic antenna? Anyone?

I agree, apple wouldn't even charge THAT much for something like this......

99 bucks for something that is worth $30 - $40 

Seeing as the Xbox 1 adapter still works with the 360....but yeah. It is a ripoff.

Since someone brought Apple into the argument:

They charge $99 for a leather Ipod case.  Now THAT is the biggest rip off of the 21st century.

No joke.  That and having to pay to play games on XBL.  They should have made Silver so all you can do is play games and have just a couple of the basic features (like a friend list).  Gold should give you all the other stuff.-The-G-Man-

I'm sorry while the adapter is a rip-off XBL is well worth twice the price I pay for it. The whole set up is beautiful. Seriously the fact that they created such a standard nearly brings a tear to my eye. 50$ a year for seamless gaming bliss with your friends and fellow gamers. I am sorry XBL has no peer.

Since someone brought leather into the arguement:

Have you ever stepped into a Louie Vutton store?! I'd call it a rip off but word would spread and no woman would ever talk to me again.

I'm not calling it a rip off.  Maybe I should have said that, considering the topic title. :P

I just think you should be able to play the games online for free instead of giving you all the features for free.  They should make you pay for the features and let you play the games.

Other than the PS3.psyko7144

You have never used XBL before have you. There really isnt a comparison.

I have a better idea. Since none of us will ever get to see the social security we pay for and people like me who are career military will never get it against our retirement even if it does managed to survive why don't we simply ask our government to put that money to use to pay for XBL so I can go into old age a happy man. Seriously though I see your point sometimes I think we pay that money to provide salaries for the people who are constantly trying to find new ways to leech money out of us for every little thing on XBL.
