How is this a deal, exactly? I can get a D-link wireless access point for like $20.

This is basically a wireless adapter for your XBOX, so you don't have to have it in the same room as your router.

I don't quite understand your reply.

What I'm saying is I can get a similar piece of equipment (or so it seems, unless the linksys one does something other than a wireless PC access point) for $20, so I am questioning why this is a "deal". Got it?

I have the Dlink one for my TiVo... works like a champ. I have no doubt that I could use it on a game console.

There are deals all the time that show USB wireless adapters for under this price.

Ok, you often can't use a USB adapter on a game system. An access point often can't act as a wireless bridge (especially with different hardware brands), so this is a great deal. Too bad I bought a WET11 for $99 a few months ago.

I found the critical difference (I think). It says it works without drivers on those gaming systems.

That's a plus! :D
