Alright,... quicky.

If I buy the WiFi rig for my XBox,... can I use it to play my PSP/DS online as well??

I am really oblivious to this whole compatibility issue, and it'd be great to have something that covered every angle,... considering the outrageous prices on hubs.

Thanks a bunch.

That only receives a wireless signal for whatever you hook it up to (your Xbox in this case). You do have a Wireless Access Point I'm assuming.

No.

I got nothing right now.
I know that there is a M$ hub, that hooks up to the computer,.. and then you buy a receiver for the XBox.

Since the PSP and DS have receivers built in,... I figure that I cna save some money and just get teh M$ version.

????
Maybe???
Thanks.

If you have a router/Wireless Access Point, then you'll need a bridge for your Xbox to pick up the signal...HOWEVER, with PSP and DS (although DS doesn't have the functionality yet), they will automatically detect the router and wireless signal.

So just buy the XBox router,... and a receiver for my XBox,... and I'll be all set???

Also,.. I know the DS is still prepping. Hopefully, with the tunneling,.. we'll also be able to USB some games, as it's a real battery drainer.

Oh, sorry I thought you meant you were just buying the Xbox wireless adapter. If you do buy the MS wireless router then you'll be set with the PSP and DS. They should pick up the signal.

Hey drone, don't forget about Linksys routers and wireless access points. I bet the Linksys products offered at whichever store you end up going looking for the Microsoft brand stuff will be much cheaper. Just another option.
