I have a couple of AK Rockers that I really like.

All colors and designs are at www.ak.com

The only downside is that my first-gen chairs tend to come apart where the side rockers meet the seat/back part of the chairs if you have 180+ pound people using them. The later chairs use a strap to hold the rockers in place; my solution was to drill 3/8 inch holes through the seat and rockers, and bolt everything together with carraige bolts and acorn nuts. I can post pix if anybody needs them.

But if you used those, would it require you to disable the wirless security for the other devices?jphillips1868

Nope. The Play Link has its own security system -- the two units come as a matched pair that can only connect to each other. They don't have any effect on your wireless settings; the "send" unit (in quotes because either of the boxes can attach to either the router or your Xbox) and the "receive" units simply plug into the ethernet ports of your router and Xbox. They create a wireless bridge, which your router and Xbox see as a cable connection.

My router settings -- like WEP and MAC address filtering -- for my notebook, desktop & media center computers, and my networked print/scan machine, are completely unaffected.

Dead Rising is a lot of fun if you like zombie movies. Like "Dawn of the Dead," it's set in a shopping mall, complete with cheesy Muzak (including a couple of real ear worms I am now trying to get out of my head).

Like the George Romero movies, there is a fair amount of humor and social commentary. The sounds you get when you whack zombies are expecially authentic, and I was really amused when I saved at one of the save points, located at a urinal in a public restroom. After it saves, the controller vibrates like you're shaking yourself.

I noticed that Nyko has a multi-card reader for the Xbox 360, but none of the reviews say whether it allows you to save games to memory cards.With the prices of SD cards dropping so fast, it seems like this would be a good alternative to memory units.

Since I'm playing Dead Rising, which only has one save slot, it would be really handy to use all the spare SD cards to savegames.

Anybody knowif this works with the Nyko Multireader -- or, for that matter, if it would work with other USB card readers?

[QUOTE="SpideR_CentS"]I just bought one for $30.00 that works for xbox 1 or 360. I hope it works ok. Im not paying $100 for a wireless adaptor its ludacrisdieworm
Really?! Where!? 30 bucks sounds great. plz tell

I think he's talking about the Logitech Play Link, which sells for less than thirty bucks on Amazon or Buy.com. It has two small cubes that plug into the ethernet ports on your router and Xbox 360. Since the units are paired, there is no need to deal with your router's security settings. Think of it as a wireless alternative to a network cable -- you could use one anyplace you could run ethernet cable.

I use one with my 360 Elite and it works just fine for gaming, but it's very slow for Xbox Live downloads. That isn't much of a problem, though, since the May 2007 software update allows your Xbox to download in the background after you power off.

You might check Ebay and see what used ones are going for. When I recently bought my 360 Elite, EB said they'd give me fifty bucks for my first-gen Xbox. Otherwise, they only pay about thirty (with one controller and the video cable).
