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.
Not your WHOLE networ, just the 802.11N device it talks to. I hate to say one brand of 802.11N gear will work WELL with this, but a WNHDE111 plugged into your old 100mbps router as an Access Point might do just fine. Refurbished makes the experiment cheaper...
Too bad the wireless adaptors are so damned expensive...
microsoft, $99-$100+
and guess what, this frees up a USB port for a flash drive.
