You know us, we're the epitome of patience. Always waiting for things so patiently. But you know what we can't wait another second for? An 802.11n adapter for our Xbox 360. The good news is that the thing looks positively imminent, after an FCC showing this week and now an appearance on a flyer inside a Gears of War 2 Game of the Year edition box in Italy. Can't you just taste the 802.11n wafting over the Atlantic? The eternal optimists over at Joystiq also think that this flier might point to a co-existence of both types of WiFi adapter, and potentially a price cut for the overpriced original, but we suppose we'll just have to wait and find out.

hmm lets see the old one drops to $50 and the new one takes the $100 price point.. Still overpriced.

Seeing as how most major brand name cards(meaning companies like linksys, belkin, netgear, d link) have their wireless N cards priced around 70 and up. I don't see how this is over priced due to the fact this is a specialized card for a console.

Yeah, now this is the first time I wish the PS3 one was upgradeable. However, they can both still be plugged in if I want even faster speeds. I don't use my xbox for streaming anything anyway, especially in Canada. I'm getting pretty tired of lacking features compared to the American consoles.
