Xbox 360 Wireless N adapter: priced and dated for the UK

11 Nov 2009

Wireless N adapter

The rather leaky new Xbox 360 wireless adapter has now been confirmed for the UK, complete with official price and release date.

Earlier in the week, a spotting in Asda hinted to us that we wouldn't have to wait too long for the confirmed announcement, and here it is.

The new adapter packs two antennas, supporting 802.11a/b/g standards and the newer, faster 802.11n standard as well.

Compatibility with the faster standard will be needed to stream any HD content from the Zune Marketplace once it crops up on the service

We'll be able to get our mitts on it on 20th November for £59.99, although expect shops to sell it off for a little cheaper if the Asda snap is anything to go by.

Will you be getting the new adapter? Let us know below.

    I probably will. I just prefer X-Box live to the PS3, erm, thing.

    No - Ethernet beats wifi hands down for gaming, nice to have the option to be able to upgrade though, without needing to replace the entire console.

    Actually, 802.11n isn't built in to the PS3 :)
