I have a 70 foot ethernet cable myself. It cost under $100. If you don't want a wireless router you should look into getting one.

To be fair, I don't think Microsoft has yet to make any money on the Xbox project yet but they're getting close.

thats why I moved my router.

but yes I agree, theres no reason for it to be 100$... but while people still buy them, MS has no reason to drop price

Yeah that did make me mad when they didnt include wi-fi in the xbox. But I also got A/V in my PS3 that also came with my PS1 when i bought that over 10 years ago. It's funny actually, xbox boasts about how great their online is, and doesnt include wi-fi, and sony boasts about the hi-def blu-ray capabilities, and dont give you hi-def cables.

I have a laptop. Setting the bridge every time i want to play is too much hassle compared to just turning on every other Net enabled device in my house.

An ugly 100s foot big ugly cable going from the third floor to the first would make my place a little less pleasant place to live on.

It's a bit of a rip, but it happens everywere. Do you think those $30, $20 or even $10 HDMI cables are really worth it? Thats is just one example. Another it lots consumer electronics have 400% + markup on actual production costs.

Enough with the "use a laptop" posts, not everyone has a handy laptop sitting next to there 360's, mmkay?

Also, wouldn't the laptop have to always be on just to play on xbox live?

Not a wire can be seen with my set-up..;)

If a set-up requires wireless...get the adaptor...or use the suggestions found in this thread....

I wish the PS3 did not come with wireless ..the cost of the unit would be less expensive and for people like myself that does not use it..I would have saved some cash..

No its not in there as a lot of people don't need it and it stops the price of the console from being stupidly high.

I don't know about that...

Ps3 40GB has Wifi and is about same as the 20GB 360.

And it has BD, price is not the reason.

When they first launched the ps3 was £425 and the prem 360 was £280. And at that sort of price the ps3 sold almost nothing until the price dropped. Not sure the 360 would have sold if it cost £350 from launch because they added wifi.

Good point, but they could at least add it into new models besides just enlarging the HDD space.

The only prob is you then upset everyone who had to buy it when you add it into the system plus the cows would go crazy on sw if it happened going about ms doing over its older customers.

You can't please everyone. Also I think it should have been included with the Elite from day one. I don't know why people payed so much more just for HDD space.

And seriously, who cares about SW lol. It would be a good move by MS I think.
