Xbox 360 802.11n Wireless Adapter Confirmed

The rumour train has finally left the station and the confirmation carriage just pulled in

When it comes to the wonderful world of next-gen consoles, rumours and deniability run rampant. And while rumours of price drops for the PS3 and Xbox 360 were proven true not so long ago, the latest Microsoft next-gen console rumour has recently been confirmed.

According to Joystiq, Microsoft has stopped avoiding the issue of a new Draft-N wireless adapter en route for the Xbox 360. Beyond confirmation, details were scant, with Microsoft stating that the improved adapter would allow Xbox 360 owners to ?…seamlessly connect with their home network with the highest wireless ‘N’ technology?. Key factors such as price and an expected release date were not divulged.

Microsoft described the 802.11n adapter as ?another choice to consumers?, which tends to suggest that the current wireless adapter will be sold alongside the new model adapter. We can only hope that the $99.99 RRP of the current model wireless adapter will be dropped to a more affordable price and the N technology peripheral will follow suit.
