WOW. You got in on that deal? Online purchase, right?

You have 2 options when going wireless:

1. Standard 360 USB Wireless Adapter. I'm sure you've seen this for $100.

2. Xbox 1 Wireless-G Adapter. This runs $40 at Frys.
http://shop2.frys.com/product/5478789

The Xbox 1 adapter has quite a few pros:
+ This utilizes the cat-5 jack on the back of the system, so it'll keep the rear USB free.
+ It's AC powered, so it doesn't leech from the console.
+ it's $60 less than than option 1.
+ If you have an Xbox 1, you can dual purpose the device.


If you ever wanted to trade, I have a brand new, white, 65nm Premium console here. It's absolutely untouched with wireless controller, 20GB HDD, Marvel Ultimate / Forza 2 game. I'll even throw in a few games too. h:

GF just walked into a hot topic an hour ago, and called me about it cause I discussed it with her a few weeks back. Do you need this for collectors sake? The xbox 1 adapter sounds good minus being AC powered =X, I'm not sure if my powerstrip has any slots left but I'll check.

Oh wow, that's one lucky score.



I had the opportunity to purchase a spare 360 at a good price. My current system is a 2nd hand Elite w. no registration card. If it RRoD's on me, I might not be able to get it fixed.

The spare is in the stock white, so I figured if you're not a fan of the game, you might not want the decked out H3 console. Completely up to you though, shipping might be a b*tch on something this heavy. : \

Check craiglist? Plenty unloaded there right now for 260 =X but yeah shipping will kill it for me, this box is heavy for a system. I just realized I have a spare WRT54G, guess I'm going to use that as a hub.
