- Great product but why does MS always charge so much?I have a wireless network set up at home due to a couple laptops and various gaming systems. This great for those who have a wireless network (or for those who live close to someone dumb enough to have an unsecured wireless network.) It's painfully easy to install. I wouldn't even go so far as to use the word "install", instead let's say it's easy to plug into your Xbox. Synced flawlessly with my network, took MAYBE 10 minutes including the various searching and connection testing. Do this once and you'll never have to again. I've had this for about a year and a half and have never lost connection. So... Why did I give this 3 stars?
The product, flawless as it may be, is $90 dollars for a little plastic USB network adapter that should've been integrated in the first place. I realize the 360 was ahead of the curve as far as the current generation goes, but the exodus from "wired" to "wireless" was well underway when the 360 hit the shelves. It's the same thing with the 120gb harddrive. Xbox live was already a well established facet of the Microsoft Console experience. With the amount of content available via the marketplace they should've known that 20g would not be enough. Anyway, I digress.
Bottom line: A virtually flawless wireless network adapter for the 360. Unfortunately, this should've been included with the system or at least shelved at half of what it's going for.
