Xbox 360 802.11n Wireless Adapter Hits UK

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Simply wetting yourself with excitement over Microsoft's new Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter? Well, pull yourself together because it looks like there isn't long to wait.

Engadget reports that the elusive adapter was recently spotted in Asda, a UK supermaket branch. Asda has the adapter priced at £49, which is in line with the older model.

Microsoft has been vague on the release of this new adapter, but it's real and here now in retail stores.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Asda, its a supermarket chain that was, until a couple of months ago, owned by Walmart. So speculating that we're not too far away from a U.S. release couldn't exactly be considered going out on a limb.

Me too...

Quote :Wal-Mart Stores sold 3.1bn shares in Asda in return for a £5.7bn cash payment from Corinth and £1.24bn shares - just £200m more than Wal-Mart paid in 1999. Corinth is now the new parent company of Asda, having previously been a subsidiary

So basically this is a £49 pounds wifi dongle. No, thanks.

Technically, Wal-Mart sold Asda to... itself.

And YES, a £ sign, very welcome ;)
