Microsoft Bends Consumers Over,

Microsoft Bends Consumers Over, Reaches for the Garden Claw

Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter, pictured above beside a Garden Claw, has a suggested retail price of $99.99. Can you say “ouch?”

Looks like I’ll be rolling out the 50-foot Ethernet cable each time I want to take my Xbox 360 online. For those who feel they must get their Xbox LIVE on wirelessly, however, consider the Wireless-N Gaming Adapter from Mad Catz. It can be used on more than just the Xbox 360 and is sufficiently less painful to the finances. Plus, the instructional diagram of how it hooks up is kinda neat.

  2. You realize that SOMETHING had to offset the awesomeness of NATAL, right?

    But if a wireless-N adapter is $100, can you imagine how much Natal is going to be?

  4. I can imagine, but I’m sure the real price will be higher. :)

    Maybe it’ll come with the Garden Claw.

  6. It’s an adapter. Not a type N Rooter.

    CLAW!!! My Trap-Jaw action figure needs one of those…

    My Clawful figure already has a claw – two, actually. But one is big and is spring-loaded. Beat that!

  9. Inspector Gadget is going to find out about this and have a cow!

    He’s going to be pretty MAD.
