Mobile device wishlist

[Alicia Leonard]

I'm actually glad they didn't do this. When I bought I got the 10 megabit ethernet adapter, but now I'm upgrading my wireless to gigabit and can upgrade the 360 too. I'm hoping it makes a difference when downloading HD movies. My last download - Transformers, took like 6 hours. Not a long time for so much data but it'd be nice it it was faster.

I can understand that if you are upgrading now, but when buying a new 360, now, it would be nice if they included an adapter with it, or a card for wifi, instead of trying to charge $50-100 for their adapter. I bought an adapter that hooks into the PlayStation 2 or the 360 or a blue-ray device.
I stream netflix over the 360 and have not had a drag or any issues.

I believe PlayStation 3 comes ready for wifi out of the box, as well, but still has a port for later upgrades. Having to buy an adapter is just an added expense that microsoft puts on you that their competitors don't, imho.

if you don't have gaming as a requirement, many BD players are network ready and have netflix, blockbuster, pandora, and youtube streaming capability built in. the higher end Samsung TV's have web access widgets that are user defined.
