    I'm thinking of going on xbox live for the first time and I was wondering where's the cheapest place to get the wireless adapter?
    Also is there an alternative to the official microsoft one?

    That's typical of them. Wish I could buy it there cos I have €100 worth of vouchers and I've been waiting for the last six months for something that's good value!
