Thanks for info.

So you're saying Wireless N won't improve lag during online game, right?

I do have Verizon FIOS 20down/15up plan and Wireless N1 routher yet I notice lag using OG Xbox adapter during online play.

89.24? Is the deal dead?

edit: ah, never mind, reading comprehension skills are lacking today.

Are you incapable of reading?

It will definitely improve the connection, but I don't think it will be a HUGE difference. I'm not even sure why you'd have lag if you're using Wireless G and have such a fast connection. I have 10down/512up and I don't have lag issues.

I actually stopped using my 360 wireless adapter and switched to Powerline for a better connection when playing online.

I can't imagine it would make much of a difference, though it couldn't hurt to make the change.

Forward your ports and your lag will disappear.

Interesting. I'll try this tonight and let you know if it works. BTW. Will this improve both wired/wireless connection at once?

You do not need to port forward with a wired connection, only wireless. It will improve all of your wireless connections as long as they are using the same IP address that you configure in your routers settings, but you can assign the same port to separate IPs, too.

Isn't that a fact, I am glad the PS3 has them included $100 bucks for a wireless adapter? That is craziness!

Coupon $5 of $75 in games. Will have to spend $5 more but that item will essentially be free then.

If anyone is interested in the original xbox adapter. I saw that one at Fry's B&M for $30. They had about ten of them. That was about a month ago here in Vegas. Just plug it in and no need for the CD that comes with it.

I have the same Fios speed as you, and I sometimes have lag with the original Xbox adapter. That's mostly due to my adapter being two floors beneath the router. I still get 3/4 bars of signal strength, though! The 360 adapter won't help much, and isn't really worth it for the price, IMO.

Did this deal ever go live or is it supposed to be early Monday morning?
I saw on Xbox360fanboy that the red controller kit is supposed to be $43.

EDIT: Nevermind...Japan time..duh.

I just bought an e-bay xbox that can't play game discs to use as a media center extender and was planning on getting a wireless adapter, but wanted one cheap, so I haven't taken the plunge yet. How much does the wireless adapter matter with streaming? I have a DVR in media center and want to stream SD and HD stuff to my TV. Does anyone have any experience with this and a wireless adapter - do I need to cut holes in my walls and run an ethernet cord? Thanks.

So, I guess Sunday at midnight means Monday at midnight. Because, you know... midnight is when a new day starts.

So when is Microsoft supposed to release their newly designed controllers with the better D pad? I keep reading about it whenever I see a thread with a 360 controller.

Green controllers include the newly designed D Pad.

Thanks Dragunz.

Is anyone waiting for these prices to drop like me? I'm going to buy that red LE controller, but still no price change.
