hmm sorry to rain on your parade but there's only one wireless adapter that works with the 360.  And it costs at least $70 if you find a good deal on it.

^^^ Unfortunately this, unless you're a real cheap bastard like myself and hop on Amazon or PartsExpress.com and pick up a 75-100 foot ethernet cable for about $12 including shipping and run that sucker through your house lol!

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about a wireless adapter so he can play his 360 without hooking it up to an ethernet cord.  

Ok i looked at it some more.  And i was wondering, does that actually work for the 360?  That would be cool if it did.

Yep It does my friend bought one for his 360 when he first received it. Then he realized wireless gaming sucked and went back to wired.

So wait it's better for me to get to wired?

There are latency issues that common with wireless signals and any amount of interferance from other wireless devices can increase this. For online gaming as it stands at this time wired is the better option.

Unless its absolutely unavoidable, take the wired route.

No prob. See i just saved you a couple of "WTF" moments when playing Halo3 and COD4

I have wireless adapter but I only use wired for best connection. Wired mouse and wired keyboard for gaming.

If you have a laptop, you can bridge your wireless connection with the 360 after plugging in the ethernet cable. It's a totally free alternative to buying a wireless adapter, but you have to have your laptop on and close to the 360 at all times, and you have to make sure the laptop doesn't go into sleep mode.

Being honest:

I was very hesitant to by the $99 adapter. But I do have to say it is the most RELIABLE accessory for the 360. No problems, and it's over a year and a half old with constant use.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"
