When the eBay cashback was at 30% I got one for $35.

There is a 5% off link for buy.com in the SD coupon section.

I bought one yesterday and this was the best price I could find.

I bought the linksys wmb54g for $20 on amazon about 2 weeks ago. The thing works perfectly with the xbox 360. Setup may be tricky for some, but it's been great so far.

Actually the $5 off coupon at Buy.com is slightly better than the 5% off coupon.
Its $77.99 shipped using the $5 off Buy.com coupon.
Its $78.84 shipped using the 5% off Buy.com coupon.

Is there any other better deal? I need to order one.

I would like to confirmation that the linkysys wireless music bridge works as a xbox360 wireless adapter, cause if it does I want to order one to do just that.

Do a google search "wmb54g xbox" and see what you come up with. There are also ebay sellers selling it as an xbox 360 adapter, but don't buy it from them cuz they are charging $50 for it.

Sorry. I used the $5 coupon too. Guess I forgot. I have not received a shipping confirmation. Today the price is $86.99. I see it is $86.99 at Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874103016) and they have that 15% cashback deal using Paypal

Actually the $5 off coupon at Buy.com is slightly better than the 5% off coupon.

Wheres the info on doing the 15% cashback on Newegg?

It may take a little work but buying a router that is compatible with dd-wrt and using it in bridge mode is the cheapest and best adapter around. Go to http://dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv3/index.php and find a cheap compatible router. You will find instructions from there on how to use it for a bridge. The only down side is that using a wireless router takes up more space.

I don't have a paypal account so I can't check if it is still working.

I'm about to set up my xbox 360 to go wireless with a Netgear WGR614 Wireless-G Router and dd-wrt. Once this is done, I will no longer have 50ft of cable running from my computer room to my living room!

Does anyone know if the wireless adapter from the original Xbox will work with the 360? I think it's G capable.

I'm in the same boat right now! Have to plug it in every time I want to play so the wife or I don't trip on and and rip the router or xbox out of the cabinets.

I'm picking up the MS adapter but think it's ridiculously priced for retail. Lucked out and have a friend at MS.
