- Worth it???
Wireless is fantastic. I have a phone point and router a fair distance from my 360 and this was the only option for xbox live unless I installed a new phone line or moved the existing one (which involves a lot of cable). I had a cheaper version of wireless adapter which would fail to work every time I started up the console. I plugged the official version in and it works like a dream. I have absolutely no connection issues. It is tiny and fits to the back of the console perfectly. Apart from the aerial which sticks out at the back, it is hard to even see once plugged in. My only problem with this (I hope you are listening Mr. Gates!!), is that I fail to see why this couldn't be built in to the machine. Come on, I had to pay an extra £[...] to get this piece of kit which comes as standard on most new computers (and the 360 is just a stripped down PC). It is a lovely piece of hardware which is easy to install, works well and does exactly what it promises. It is just a shame it is overpriced and not a standard feature on this otherwise excellent console.

- WAY too pricy
There is absolutely no reason that this couldn't have been cheaper. It should cost no more than £30-£35. It's just unacceptable.
Also they could have easily built it in. Its built in to the DS, Wii, PSP and PS3 but not the X360. What's odd is the 360 has WiFi built in for the Controllers already. Okay it probably can't share a Wi-Fi connection with the internet and controllers, but still.
I've noticed that USB Wi-Fi receivers are only expensive when they want them to be, I'm guessing the only difference with this is that it has a stronger signal boost than normal, as normal USB Wi-Fi receivers can act a bit weak. But the one built into the Wii is very strong as well and that didn't cost the earth.
The only reason I have scored this low is because otherwise I would be condoning this sort of pricing.

Ok, finally got this bridge today, been meaning to go wireless for a long time. But never actually did until i got this today.
Its suprisingly small, and it looks really tidy on the back of your 360. And actually im happy to have it on the back, its seamlessly integrates with the console, where as third party ones are very ugly.
Setting it up, if you know what you're doing, youll be playing in 5 minutes. If you dont know what you're doing, its harder, there are limited instructions available on the web. But really it really surprised me in how easy it was to set up. And as i understand, third party ones are harder to set up.
The quality of it is fantastic, id never of thought something so small could be as good as it is. It gets a really good signal and is fast too. Something i thought was impossible for its size. And again, some people have trouble with third party adaptors.
So why does this only get 4 stars? Basically it is pricey, in this hd era i see wifi should be built in. And £55 is a lot. for something that comes as standard in other consoles. But again wifi on 360 isnt cheap, there is one third party one i saw for £35. 20pounds less. But it looked much uglier and didnt really look very practical. And there was another at the same price as this one, it could of performed better, but the thing was huge in comparison.
So In conclusion, if yuo want wireless xbox live on your 360, this is the best way to go.

- Great buy
The wireless bridge is a very easy to set up. I had it plugged into the xbox and WEP key sorted pretty quick. Its that easy. Well worth the money.

i bought this because my dog ate my ethernet cable and had been meaning to upgrade to wireless for a while anyway.
i didnt realise how easy it would be, (or how small!) you simply plug it into the back of the 360 and turn your xbox on and you're nearly done, all that was left for me was to input my wep key and i was downloading demos within minutes and playing online shortly after.
