Wirelsess? Options

[ninjax]

if you look at the back of the console you can see there is a cover plate that comes off and the adaptor fits in there

Thank God...all I have heard people talk about regarding the wireles adapter is using the usb port...or that the old MS wireless adapter will work. I have 2 linksys wireless gaming adapters for my xbox's now, and I cant wait to get something that will go into the console....

yeah there is a small usb cord that plugs into the usb port above the etho port and then you remove a plate and stick the thing in the depression

I believe it's still up in the air as to how the wireless adapter will interface...

If I remember correctly there is a FAKE image floating around that shows a USB cable which is where I think a lot of people are getting that misconception. The official fact sheet does NOT list it as a USB device which I think if it was going to be they would list it as such...

is this fake?

There it is , the prob is cause it haves Micros0ft on the url.

The Wireless Adapter will be USB Powered , which means no more fucking AC Adapter to plug into the damn wall. Of course the current XBox wireless adapter will work.

the dvd playback is done through the controller and remote this time

[brooksie48]

about them selling the adaptor separate it is a no brainer, M$<-notice the dollar sign, likes money and they want more of it so they sell things like the dvd playback kit, and the wireless adaptor to make more money

The fucking reason you have to buy a dvd playback kit is because if they had it dvd ready they would have to pay sony royalties on every console. But if they only have to pay sony when someone buys the dvd playback kit(to unlock it) they charge enough to still make a profit. God damnit they lost 5 billion on the first console so don't call them money lovers(at least not for xbox)
