How much of a hit this product will be with you depends on how simple you find it to set your console up to your network.It took me weeks. However, it took me weeks with a D-Link router, to work with with this bridge, and it never worked properly, but it took minutes to set it up with a netgear router. Since then it has worked fine, and opened up X-box live to me. Get it if:
You can't really get wired
You are good with computers and networks or know someone who is
You have a good router ( i recommend Netgear ADSL2)
((( I rated this products fun on xbox lives fun, and i took a star off for price and how long it took me to set it up.

Personally i always thought why buy an expensive Xbox 360 console if you're not going to purchase Xbox Live. I have a PS3 and can tell you that this is the best online service, you can message, private chat, video chat, recommend online content to friend and much much more. When playing a game on live its like unlocking the other half of that game and you really get you're £40 worth then. I would also recommend a microphone if you plan to game with friends.

Attractive, comfortable, nice weight and welcome inclusion of rumble all make this a great controller. Unfortunately, I can only give it three stars due to - and bare with me, fanboys, till you see my reasoning - the PS3 controller.
I won't compare the layouts of the controllers because that comes down to personal preference. Some are more comfortable with Microsoft's layout and some with Sony's - that's up to you - and Sony's is only lighter due to the lack of dualshock.
The Sixaxis functionality of the PS3 controller is also yet to be properly implemented - there are some good attempts and some abject failures - but it does add an extra element to games and can be fun. And the one advantage the 360 controller currently has over the PS3 ... Read More:

As a Semi-Professional gamer this headset is a must. Its worth its cost just for use at XL. Ive only used this with Halo 3 and so far i have no complaints.
The cable is more than long enough to allow me to throw my controller across the room as i find my self AR'd from across the map. The duel chat and game sound volume controls allow me to drown out those annoying people you usually find at the end of a game after your +14 to their -13. The sound quality is very high, with footsetps, lifts and even distant gunfire being crystal clear.
The mic itself is nicely posistion'd on highly flexable metal stem and will bend in alomost any direction. The headset is easily adjustable, seemingly being able to fit even the largest headed gamer.

Great looks, great functionality and quite robust. As a controller thrower, this thing has been airborne many a time and the only damage is a slightly loose left stick which still works perfectly.
The only criticisms I have are a rubbish D-Pad and if you like to have a finger on all shoulder buttons you may find it difficult to hold.
The right stick position is also a little strange but it becomes second nature quickly.
A good size for small and big hands I think this is one of the best controllers made.
And everything looks better in black!

I love the design of the 360 controller, its chunky but not too big, and its not at all heavy. Its comfortable to hold for long periods too.
Some reviews have comnplained about the vibration not working on that many games, but that is entirley dependant on the game not the controller, so this cant be blamed on the controller.
Another review I have read complains the analogue triggers don't work on GTA. Well if this review refers to San Andreas, since GTA4 is not on PC yet, that game does not have analogue accelerator.brake controls, it is digital, again not a fault of the controller.
Perhaps my main gripe with the pad is the oddly positioned left analogue stick. For me I would prefer the analogues to be adjacent to one another as I do get a little thumb ache ... Read More:
