It's still ridiculous that it's not built in.  There is no way around it.

 

 

I disagree.  If it were built in, I would be forced to pay for it. As I do not use my official XBOX 360 wireless bridge, and I use an ethernet connection instead (MUCH faster), I would be rather upset.

I have a PS3 as well, but I do not use the wireless adapter that is built in, I use an ethernet cable for speed, and I wish Sony wouldn't have forced me to pay for something that I don't use.

I paid $33 for mine off of ebay, which is probably a fair price.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

As many have said, there are many bridges that you can get on ebay or craig's list for cheap. I personally use the MS one for one xbox but for the other 2, I use the Linksys bridge. Use google to look it up.

Some people would be interested, could you give the model number?

I have mine connected to a 10M Ethernet cable!

 



Tease.

Its also rediculous that the PS3 doesn't come with HD cables!

 

that's such a weak defence considering that hd cables are not proprietary and don't cost an arm and a leg. the wireless adaptor doesn't need to be so expensive.

That accessory is such a rip off, if I didn't use a bridge then I most likely wouldn't even bother with Live.

I'm upset that Nintendo makes the Wii wireless instead of wired. I bought a wired adaptor for $10 because wireless has no business anywhere near gaming except the controllers.
