Thread: News - Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter surfaces at UK supermarket

The price of these are a joke - and not just a small one either. Its even worse when you consider the WII/PS3/DS/PSP have wireless built in! Anyone would think they didn't want people spending £40 a year on XB live...

MS know how to screw money out of people, that's without doubt. I have the original wireless adaptor and that works fine, I don't see how this is going to be any better.

Need a better connection? ASDA's selling Microsoft's updated wireless adapter just in time for Modern Warfare 2. Read more .

i'm more shocked at the price.

Microsoft's next console better have 802.11N built-in and a user-upgradable HDD. £90 for a 120GB HDD is just scandalous.

I've just realised how clever MS are with not including wireless (still) in the 360.. People will complain, moan, say they are making too much money etc..but the reality is that it won't stop anyone from actually buying the console. Whats worse is that so many people will then go and pay microsoft the £40 or so for the wireless upgrade.. MS save a fortune not including it, and double that with wireless sales..its genius! Or it will...

Hmm, I'm not that bothered for any wireless connector (using that powerline ethernet that the radio amateurs and CB enthusiasts hate so much), but I agree 100% with the disk pricing statement. What I can't understand is why someone in Redmond hasn't hit on the idea of a disk...

More rip-off in action
