If you have $100 to spend and you don't want cords then it is worth it. I bought one since I play on a different floor than my router, and it works great. I have never had any problems with lag or connecting or anything.

No, IMO it's not worth getting. Just purchase a wireless ethernet bridge. They are much cheaper and they work without any flaws. (As far as I'm concerned).

I have it and I've never had any problems with it.  It's worth it, but I do find it a bit expensive.  See if you can find a used one at either Gamestop or EB Games.

Agreed. My friend has it (MS adapter) and it also works flawlessly. Depending on your price point a Wireless ethernet bridge is also a good alternative.

I bought the wireless adapter and love it. It is expensive, but the fewer wires, the better. If I had ethernet running in the walls of my house, I would have gone that way, but I don't. I would of had to run a wire from a room down the hall. That would have been bad.

It's works pretty well . .I also advise you try to find a used one at gamestop/eb. They a used one runs for about $70.

I got it and while it is rather expensive, its nice not to have wires running accross my apartment.  If your 360 is far from your router its worth it.

Agreed...Although the adaptor's easy to use from what I hear, I didn't think it was worth the price. I'm using a travel router with a client mode that I got for $45 and it works great with the 360. It has to be configured with a computer, but once it is, it's pretty much plug and play (as a bonus, it's powered by the USB port).

Very cool. What is the brand and where do I get that? I try and have as few wires as possible.

I would purchase a D-Link router....plug an ethernet cable @ the back of it and the other end to your 360...its simple and the connection owns.

The wireless network adapter is excellent... I haven't had any problems with lag either. The only gripe I can make about it is that it's pricey... but it works so it's better than paying $50-$70 for something that's going to lag like an MFer.
