So this is a USB 102.11a wireless adapter. These tend to go for about $65-$70. So yea the $99 price tag is a bit high but I don't think it is higher than what most people think it is. You are paying some extra because it is 802.11a because it is not widely used and then you pay the console accessory tax to bring it up to $99. BTW the reason they used 802.11a was because it is more stable when it came to sending HD video because it uses the 5 GHz band as opposed to the 2.4 GHz band. This makes it a more reliable connection because there is less interference from other items that use the 2.4 GHz band in your home (microwave, other wireless devices, wireless phones, etc.) Of course you have to have an 802.11a wireless router to take advantage of it.

You can use your avatar or just have your gamerpic showing. Also you can also use your themes in the background also.

I too love a lot of XBLA games. Sure they have their share of crap games but I own more games for the 360 than any other console in a long time because a lot of them are XBLA games.

I don't know what big groundbreaking event people were expecting, it looked like about every other CES keynote to me.

They squashed that rumor last week about the new Xbox 360. That rumor came from an article that was just the writers predictions, it wasn't anything that came from any source. Just came from his head and the internet ran with it.

HD-DVDs can already read up to three layers. It is in their spec I believe.

Since when is 300 half of 800. Also, the River II expansion in the store is about $6. So this is actually a good deal.

My buddy has been having this problem and one thing that we think might have happened was that he tried to buy the maps when there was a problem with Xbox Live last Thursday.

I think the game is great and what I am playing doesn't even have all the races in yet. I think that it will attract the same people who play Halo 2 online (Until Halo 3 comes out). I also have a feeling that it might be at a value price also.

There will be 47 tracks that will come from these circuits. There are usually several different configurations of tracks that are used when racing. The first Forza did this also and Gran Turismo I believe does this.
