I'm thinking about getting a 360, but I don't want to get ripped off by all of the Microsoft overpriced accessories. Can I buy a regular wireless USB adapter to attach to the usb port?

Also, can I use a regular bluetooth headset with the 360?

personally I don't trust wireless reliability so I just ran a cable, as far as a head set anything with mono out, mono in on a 1/8" audio connection should work fine. It is important to note that if you buy the premium system you do get a free headset.

any workgroup bridge will do.

20 dollar router what supports client mode (WGB) or one to flash with DD-WRT. You're all set.

The premium comes with no wireless adapter. They did include a nice 15~20ft. cat 5 cable in the box though

The wireless controller and the hard drive make the premium worth it

It's a home wireless router, no drivers. That's why you can't use any old USB adapter - no drivers. Post or search the networking section for more info as this question is a common one, with a common solution.

You use it as a workgroup bridge. Meaning it has two interfaces - wireless and wired. You plug the wired side into your 360 and then provide the necessary info for the wireless to connect to your wireless network.
