Now, I don't think it's unreasonable to say that the price is still much too high when similar products are much cheaper. That said, with my router in another room, I just hook up my 360 through my lappy, and have yet to have any issues; for reference sake, I also use Vista. Hopefully, by the time I do run into issues, either the price will be reduced or the next Microsoft gaming console will have a built-in wireless adapter.
