Not necessarily. If you live somewhere where you can't hook your 360 up using an ethernet cable, then buying this + the wifi adapter is gonna end up the same cost as getting a slim. Granted, you get a game and a 2nd controller if you do that, but the slim is also a lot quieter (don't underestimate that...the pre-slim 360s are loud as hell).
