Anyone who uses the MS adapter is a tool. You can use a PC one for less than half that.

Mine is wired, but I bought my little brother one of these badboys for his birthday a year ago:

I bought it for $30, but you can pay even less now. I've read mixed reviews, but he's never had an issue with it. Nice way to stay close to a sibling who lives 500 miles away :)

Goddammit, Microsoft is just going to MAKE me buy one. $250?! Sweet price - LIVE for free for a year, almost. Could care less about wireless - my gaming setup is about ten feet from my router, and I still have two ports left for a wired connection.
