360 Wireless Gaming Receiver...

...being phased out? What are we supposed to use then?

Everywhere is sold out besides ebay and people are asking 30-40 bucks for items that were available recently for 20 dollars shipped! There's even one on Amazon for over 80 dollars!

What the hell?

Ooooh - I have one of these that I never use... might make me a lil profit heh

[BuzzKillington]

I'm in the market for one. :whistler:

EDIT: Shipping from the UK would probably kill any deal though. Dammit.

It's because they are finalizing and about to release a new one under the 802.11N standard.

That's a networking adapter. I should have posted a picture of the one I'm looking for but it's used to allow users to use their wireless 360 controllers on their PCs.

Maybe it's a good sign though that they're coming out with new accessories? Still a stupid move on M$'s part. There's nothing wrong with the original.

oo That, dunno what to tell you there. I have one but barely use it. Was fun for emulators.
