Microsoft confirmed to gaming blog Joystiq that they will release an 802.11n wireless adapter for Xbox 360. Looks like it'll accompany rather than replace the current adapter, though MS was tight-lipped on price or release date, saying only "soon." [Joystiq]

Nyko Wireless Nunchuk Adapter Sucks Class From Wiis and Ninjas

Nyko's replacement wireless nunchuk controller may have raised the question, "do we really need a wireless nunchuk?" But their new wireless nunchuk adapter, a peripheral that uses the same Wiimote wireless nunchuk transmitter plug-in and replaces Nyko's sleek wireless nunchuk with your old, crappy wired nunchuk but using a massive dongle to wrap up the cable...is just tacky.

Let's just make something clear: if you buy such ugly tech, don't expect your friends not to punch you in the face when they come over just to play Wii Sports. Even if it "only costs $20." [kotaku]

TiVo HD Actually Needs TiVo Wireless Adapter

Mark Wilson — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 13:00:31 EDT

Quick note to TiVo HD buyers and potential buyers: it looks like you really do need the official TiVo Wireless Adapter. Like the Series 3, TiVo lists on their site that you need to use their branded gear for the unit. And after getting my new TiVo HD in the mail (2 weeks early, which was nice) I tried out the Netgear WG111 that works on my Series 2 to no avail.

While they are upfront about compatibility, it's disappointing that TiVo has gone this direction with third party support. And now I'm a little worried to add on an eSATA drive (a tacitly supported feature on Series 3 units) before more users tinker with the unit and confirm all the units that work. Hit the comments and let us know if you have any third party gear working with the new HD. And if you haven't our reviews, check here and here.
