    Still a complete and utter ripoff, then.

    How do you know? It may cost £10! I doubt it but you never know.

    The console hardware model, subsidise the base, high margin on everything else.

    plus they know they have by far and away the best catalogue of games, thanks to their low barrier for development. The best online experiance, which they can still charge a fortune for ...........

    I've found nothing wrong with the original 360 wireless adaptor, apart from the price of course.

    I use one for my 360 that is downstairs and can't say that I have noticed any lag or problems over my wired one upstairs.

    Seeing as the normal wireless one is USB is there not just a cheap USB wifi adapter you can use instead of the expensive MS one?

    I don't see the point in this over your normal unless your connection is over 54mbps (ok for some virgin media) but this will only affect during downloads and not gaming

    Unless its a LOT cheaper than the current wireless add on, I doubt people will by or upgrade theirs. I'm sticking with a hard wire cable thanks! Not to mention unless your router is n, then its not much use.
