    Wireless bridges where a ethernet cable is connected from the 360 to the bridge can be cheaper but they need an external power source and are bulky. Also the bridges need configuring via a PC whereas you can just enter your security(wpa) key in via 360 with the official adapter.

    BT used to give out the 360 adapters with their broadband can't see them giving an adapter out that will not work with their routers (homehub). and 10M distance should be fine (is it near enough for a wired connection this would be cheaper and faster)
