Maybe the G adapter will start to approach reasonable cost now...
As it is, my PS3 is on my home wi-fi, as is my Wii, PSP, DS, and iPod Touch, but my 360 has to bridge through my PC because it didn't come with a wireless chipset... instead they want me to pay several times the going rate for a PC adapter for what's now basic even in handhelds. #xbox360wirelessn

@fuchikoma: I heard it's going to be $80 now. Not much of a reasonable cost, still.

@fuchikoma:

Not really, they only shaved about $20 off it. The price was dropped weeks ago. #xbox360wirelessn

I bought a netgear wnhde wireless bridge kit ( [www.amazon.com] ) to do this. Not only does it have extra QOS stuff for media center built in but I can hook up both my xbox and playstation 3 to it. #xbox360wirelessn

It really is disgusting how much Microsoft overcharges for 360 wireless adapters (and hard drives for that matter).

Either way, as unsightly as they are, I'll stick to a CAT6 running across the floor. I've yet to own a wireless adapter that's as reliable as a good old fashioned cable. Connection brownouts are unacceptable to a UNSC Spartan. #xbox360wirelessn

@Communist Pope: Yep, as much as PS3 may be lacking in the "games I want to buy" department, at least you get wifi built in and you don't have to pay to log in. While the PS3 is only G, it's had that since the start - and MS didn't see fit to give us any option for wireless. #xbox360wirelessn

@joestoner: True, but even if I had a PS3 I'd still go wired, so the presence of built-in wireless or lack thereof is a non-issue for me. Also, the built-in WiFi wasn't much of a bonus initially, given the PS3's much higher price point -- when you're paying a lot more than what you would for the competition, you should expect a lot more.

But now that Sony's brought their current-gen console down to a reasonable level it's certainly a plus if you prefer or need wireless gaming. Once the 3 hits $250, then I'll finally get serious about getting one (for MGS4, Uncharted 1/2, and Resistance if nothing else; really want to play those one of these days...). #xbox360wirelessn

... and only a 300% premium over what you can get a standard USB WiFi-N adapter for! Microsoft is practically losing money by not making more on this! What a deal! #xbox360wirelessn
