wifi is garbage

 

Not when you have a 3 story house and the Xbox 360 in the leisure room in the basement, and the modem/router on the top floor with the computer.

Not when you own a laptop.

Not when you don't want to drill holes all over the house or have cables running around the house.

I think Wi-fi is amazing. Even for gaming, I experience absolutely no lag/breaks or even disconnections. Once you set it up perfectly, it's awesome as heck...


Wifi is slower than using an Ethernet cable and ethernet is a lot better for streaming movies. MS not including wifi to make the console cost less is a smart idea. Not all 360 users have the internet or wifi, so why make them pay extra for something they don't need. You can have ethernet available in every room kinda of like having a LAN line in every room. I have a 2 story house with ethernet available in every bedroom and the living room without having holes everywhere, just put one of those covers over the wall like your phone line has. I would only use wifi for portable devices like a laptop.
