$99.99 Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter now available

Big news for Xbox 360 owners, Microsoft has officially released the Xbox 360 Wireless N Networking Adapter in North America. It works the same way as the previous Wireless Network Adapter, allowing Xbox 360s to connect to wireless internet by plugging into the USB slot, only it now has support for 802.11 a/b/g/n protocol, has two antenna and is black. The old Wireless Network Adapter only had 802.11 a/b/g support, was white and had one antenna. It costs $99.99.

GameStop‘s got the Wireless N Networking Adapter right now and is shipping them out. Amazon, on the other hand, won’t have it in stock until November 12, 2009. However, GameStop is charging $99.99 and Amazon’s only charging $87.99. So it’s worth the wait.

The old Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapters are now being discontinued and reduced. So if you don’t need the 802.11 n support, look into picking up one of the older models while you can. Amazon is now selling them for $76.49 and GameStop is selling them for $79.99 new and $69.99 used.

Prices like this make me appreciate consoles with wireless support built in.
