Nope, I tried it with mine, all USB adaptor things are either too big and chunky or just don't work. Just save up £60 or wait for the price to come down.

But the adapter will fit no doubt about it, but will it work...

If you can connect it to the Xbox, and you can connect it to your network, then it should work :)

So is it worth me buying it?

[ReviewDude]

Personally, I would get the Xbox-specific one, that way you're covered if it breaks, doesn't work, whatever. However, cost-wise, it may be worth it :)

Thanks for the reputation!

Don't you need drivers for it to work?

No wireless USB adapters work on the Xbox 360, apart from the official one. If you don't want to pay £60 you can always get a wireless bridge. It's like a 2nd router, which connects to your current wireless network and has several ethernet ports on the back to connect to your Xbox or Pc or whatever.

My uncle has this one, it works great.

For that Wireless Bridge thang, do you just plug in a ethernet cable and set it to WIRELESS then your ready to own locasts online?

The USB Networking Adaptar goes into the back of the 360. Then on your computer go into run > type "cmd" > type "ipconfig" you should then get all your gateway details and your ip and everything. Then you can get online.

If your IP ends in like .1.28 put it as .1.24 ;)
