yes you can and I did it but then I just got this unit and it is much simpler even though I paid 90 for it a year ago, works like a charm

Won't work on the 360 as drivers need to be installed. You need an adapter that doesn't need drivers.

BTW, i saw in the Millenium 3000 flyer on friday taht the have the original XBOX network adapter for 20 bucks.

I think it does, I think its an Ethernet to Wireless connection...even if its not I'm pretty sure many poeple have used their old wireless adapters for the original xbox on their 360,

can someone confirm?

I don't see this on their website, must only be a regional thing. They also have a Play 'n charge kit for 12.99 (sold out) :)

Will one of those linksys game adapters work on the 360? http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Product_C2&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115416826619&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

I have one but i tried it once and it wouldnt connect?

On there site it's 90 bucks, but i think its 20 bucks in store. They probably don't update their site too often with new prices.

I bought the same router over a year ago and got it to work...there are a few posts on here about configuring the router for the 360 but here is a link to my last post about it:

I've since switched to the actual 360 wireless adapter since I got fed up with having so many power bricks and wiring with my setup.

Tried that, but found it laggy. Fortunately hard wiring remains possible.

Laggy .... You mean comparing to the original Xbox360 wireless adapter or to direct wire connection ?

I think this is what I'll end up getting for my online xbox play...

http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-97855026712-Xbox-Play-Link/dp/B0006FQ50I

But I can only find them online (mostly eBay)... any suggestions where to find this in-stores?

Anyone have any luck finding the old xbox wireless adapter anywhere in-stores as well??

anything like that for sale at FS/BB?

for that price, wouldn't it be worth it just to get the microsoft version? :cheesygri

I was able to PM the one from SiG Electronics ($69.99) at the Empress Walk FS in Toronto.

Can you scan the reciept please?

Also, is this SiG Electronics store a good place to order online from? I'm in Calgary....

PM'd successfully at Best Buy in Kitchener. Tried FS first and was denied because they called and it was out of stock. BB took forever and they had 3 people working on it, came back and asked me what the website address was and saw them on the phone but finally came back and did it. Took a long time but was actually minimal hassle and they didn't try any BS excuses.

Sorry - no access to a scanner - curiously, why would you need a scanned copy of the receipt?

I haven't ordered anything from SiGElectronics before (I'd probably just drive up there) but I believe they boast a rather low shipping charge ($6.49!). With the shipping, it still beats all the other prices I've seen around!
Can you scan the reciept please?

**EDIT**

Hope you guys got one while you could - just checked SiGElectronics' website and they are no longer selling the item...
