There is only the one that I'm aware of. It costs $99.99 USD. There is no way around it. You cannot use a USB antenna because you cannot load the software needed onto the Xbox. You can maybe buy a used one from a game store such as EB Games or maybe on line from EBay or Craigslist. It IS expensive but its well worth not tripping over a wire everyday!

the best one is the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter, it has no lag and green bars all the time. the ONLY thing about it is that when you use it, your NAT goes strict. but this can be fixed in the links provided Buy Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N Gaming Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Dual-Band-Wireless-N-Gaming-Adapter/dp/B0010TEOLQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1264957201&sr=8-1 Help Opening The NAT: http://portforward.com/ Hope I Helped!

Yeah, it's pricey but you get what you paid for....and as you have said, it's worth it.

If you're any good with playing around with wires you can buy a cheap router and create a wireless bridge. You'll have to have a router sitting next to your 360, but you can save a good 60-70 dollars.

I have the black Wireless N Network Adapter that Microsoft makes. It works like a charm.

the only difference with the black and white ones are that the black one can do wireless N and the white one can't. otherwise if you have A / B / or G band it will be exactly the same in which case then just get the white one.

I have heard from my friends that the Wireless "N" works amazingly and is worth the money, I personally got my Xbox 360 hardwired to my router.
