Xbox Wireless N Adapter Out Now, Costs $100
We knew it was real, we just didn't have a release date. Until now, that is.
Joystiq reports that Microsoft is launching the Wireless N Adapter for the Xbox 360 this week in the United States. Nice news and all, but the price leaves something to be desired.
Earlier this week, Microsoft's Wireless N Adapter was spotted in an ASDA supermarket in the UK. Priced at £49, you guys balked at the direct conversion of roughly $85 for the peripheral. Well, it get's worse.
If you want one you'll be forking out the same $99.99 you would have paid for the first one. Wise shoppers will go to Amazon as Joystiq reports the etailer is selling it for $87.99 right now.

$100!?! Booooooo!!!!
That's half the price of the Xbox 360 already.
I'm all for using the RJ45 over wireless any day (for gaming).
"It get's worse."
Tom's certainly has done.
its the elite version of the wireless adapter
ya they rip you off big time on those accessories
Eh, no worse than Nintendo's "buy more in accessories than you do in games or consoles!" attitue, or Sony's.. well, I've never played on a PS3 so I'd have no idea.
No doubt they have been waiting for the Wireless N standard to be ratified finally... But if you look at the price of hard discs for the PC and then look at what the console version costs it is a rip off - just like this adapter. Anyone that serious about network speed would be using RJ45 already I think.
ASDA are still owned by Wallmart, where did you get that news from? I'll sell my shares if thats true
