The roaring of XBOX fans and enthusiast can finally come to a slow halt. The XBOX 360 Wireless N adapter is finally coming out. With the new WiFi N technology being on the market and projecting positive result, the Wireless N is doing so well. Mircosoft-The XBOX group has finally decided to tap into the market and has added new accessory to the XBOX 360 system.
My thoughts aren't very positive for XBOX direction in technology cost. Re-marketing same concepts for the same cost it was last year, horrible. The 802.11b/g wireless network adapter was priced at $100.00 very similar to the new wireless N adapter. I understand we are still within the intervals of bad economic times, but $100, no change!? To put it simple, an improvement means new technology with quick depreciating cost rate therefore new cost marketed at high cost and wait to drop. But its just an improvement wrapped in a shell. Oh well...
But lucky they are lowering the cost of the previous model 802.11b/g model. JoyStiq is the manufacturing company that has decided to price it at $80.00 which is a WHOPPING $20.00 discount. Thanks JoyStiq. But.. you know there is always a but... They are planning to throw the old model to the curb which explains that discount. The later you wait to get WiFi the higher it would cost you.
But without blaming, it is a fine piece of work that now allows our XBOX to be placed a little bit further from the hotspot.
