Wow... Nice find... Looks legit...

Nemo1991 10-13-2010 12:45 PM

yeah i think it looks legit too i just dont see how its possible lol. but i guess for under 3 bucks i dont have much to lose

"Looks" legit, but I don't see an Xbox 360 logo on it... be weary, 2.50 either well spent or wasted, cheap gamble IMO, look into it some more.

Im in for 1..... Last year, I bought "kill dots" 10 bucks for a sticker you put on your television to no scope in COD.... Gave them to the future bro in law as a gag... He liked em... And this will be for him as well....

lmfao... that's actually a smart idea, I wouldn't pay 10 bucks for it but that's still smart.

I did some reading and the official XBOX is a 802.11n... meaning it can manage 1080p streaming over ZUNE... the old "single antenna" adapters were 802.11g and can't support the bandwidth needed. Don't expect the same performance as the $100.00 one, but if you plan on using ZUNE, I'd maybe shell out the extra on a used Xbox lisensed product.

ZUNE is the ipod fail... Lol.....

I personally hate microsoft, with the exception of the xbox and xbox live:icon_couchhide:

ZUNE is the video streaming software on the Xbox lmao, you can rent 1080P movies and either stream them or download them to your harddrive and delete them after watching them.

Sort of like Netflix I guess, we don't have Netflix on our Xbox's in Canada though.

A certain company I work for has been getting calls about their televisions and blurays and netflix issues in canada.... For some reason their firmware doesnt support it and the reps have been spending hours trying to change settings etc.... when in the Manual it clearly states say not available in Canada... Lol
