Who's got the best deal runnin'?
 
I believe those run around $100, perhaps that's the black ones though. Personally, I would spend my money on something I could use on multiple systems or computers. I just got this:

http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-85Mbps-Powerline-Network-Adapter/dp/B001AZUTCS/ref=pd_ys_iyr_img

So far, it's awesome. Ethernet over power adapter. Connect one to your router, plug it into an outlet. Connect the other one to your system, plug it into an outlet. Internet.

Microsoft doesn't need more of my money and I can use this on my computer, laptop, ps3, whatever else.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm using a Airport Express as my wireless router, so no ethernet ports there.
 
Go for eBay. I just got a black one for $55 (which is not that bad a ripoff, really... the black adapter is dual-band wireless N, and those adapters are $60ish for PCs too). You might have to troll a few auctions to get the best price, but it's better than paying $100.

Flash Memory (Up to 16GB) for storage, yes, but no wi-fi adapters to my knowledge.
 
My advice if you haven't already got one would be to check pawn shops.

It seems the real hardcore gamers are upgrading their xbox 360's to the new model that includes wireless and are selling their adapters for cheap.

I recently picked up a black adapter for $22 at my local pawn shop. They don't have any more through...

Not too hard to find either.
