Saw this advertised in Best Buy's ad this weekend. Are they rebadged equipment from somebody else, or did they actually make their own equipment? Although microsofts softeware support sucks a syphilis infected monkeys left testicle, their hardware support has always been top notch.

I read the press release on these about two weeks ago. I was excited about the possibility of wireless Xbox connectivity until I read the release. Microsoft has no plans to offer a wireless setup for the Xbox in the near future.

Just wait until Linux has wireless support for it.
