Gears of War C.E. or Xbox 360 wireless network adapter?

Post by MESAJARJARBINKS »

I CAN play live but you can imagine that it gets rather...annoying...
Lugging a tv and my 360 up the stairs through 3 rooms and then hooking it up JUST to play. And then having to lug it all back when im done-and so on.

Right now i have 50 dollars
next week i will have 75-100 dollars
and i cant decide between GOW or The 360 W.N.A.

on a side note who's getting the Wireless headset?

I for one reccomend the Xbox wireless network Adapter. I can now play my 360 in everyroom (Nearly). definitely worth the money.
Meh... So I don't post much?

When I played the Gears of War demo, I found it boring. Get the wireless adapter.

I say the wireless adapter, too, but here's one way I like to make decisions if I have to...

Make a choice, and ask yourself if you are happy with the choice you made, or if you wish you chose the other. Then change mind if needed

With a 360, do you have to use the overpriced Micro$oft wireless adapter or can you buy a standard usb wi-fi adapter meant for use with a computer?

If you can, they're fairly cheap, and that way you could get both. :)

Probably won't be able to because you would need drivers for that device and as of now, the 360 only has drivers for the MS version.

The damn machine doesn't have a mouse driver, but it has the keyboard one.

As mentioned above by XPC you can buy any number of Linksys cards that are compatible with the 360 and far cheaper than the one Microsoft wants you to give your first born for.

I would buy GoW instead of the wireless adapter if forced to choose. Otherwise buy GoW and a Linksys wireless adapter for the same price as the MS adapter.

Then you can have your cake and eat it too!
