MS confirms new 360 wireless adapter

[Zeus]

Microsoft has confirmed that a new Xbox 360 wireless adapter is on the way. Moreover, an Italian Xbox advert has also revealed that the device will be making its way over to Europe as well.

<blockquote>The device was previously spied in an FCC filing stateside, while an Italian Xbox advert also revealed that the new gizmo is on the way.

Sadly, details are scant on when the adapter will arrive, and how much it will cost, but it seems likely the device will arrive before Christmas, as with just about every other gaming product ever conceived.</blockquote>

How about adding into the fucking console you wankers? The 360 is the only console without integrated wifi, they want to nickel and dime us.

Because idiots will buy it. I personally would just buy an ethernet bridge, at least you can use it on anything with an ethernet port.

But for only the low cost of $120 or more you can get this device that ONLY works on the 360, doesn't that sound like a deal?!

What other devices you want it working with? If you want to plug it to your PC, then write drivers for it. Do you use your PS3 or Wii wifi on anything else? No you can't and you can not upgrade it either.

The point is Microcrap should have put in wifi to begin with.

Well at least with a bridge, you can use it on the PS3, Wii, and PC without having to write your own drivers for it--in the Windows platform, good luck getting it digitally signed.

That means every time they want to upgrade a component, they would have to bring out a new console. The wifi adapter they are bringing out is the 802.11n variant which is much faster than the existing one. Still, I rather use the wired network.
