Anybody have it? Does it work well?
I've got $130 in BBY Reward Zone certificates and can't decide what to get. I'm thinking that I'll pick up the wireless adapter, a second wireless controller, and maybe another game.
The only other thing I'd consider is a hard-drive based digital music player (probably not an iPod, for compatability reasons). I rarely watch movies more than once so I can't justify buying them, and I recently bought just about all the music I can handle for the moment.
Thoughts?

i dont think you can get all that for $130 cause the adapter and controler alone will be more then that

Yeah, I shoulda mentioned that I will pay for the difference. I think the adapter is $99 and the controller is $50.

I have this for my xbox (and it works on the 360)
http//www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6965643&type=product&id=1099385755300
it works for both..but it's a little big, so i'd go for the MS on because it's a bit smaller!
do u want the hard drive based mp3 player to use on your 360?
forget that. if u have the 360 connected to a network that it shares with your pc, just use xbox connect to play the mp3s over the network. it is great.
as for the wireless device from microsoft, if u already have a wireless modem/router and can connect it to the 360 thru a wire and this will not harm connections to your pcs, why spend the $?

I was thinking of the MP3 player to use with my sound system as well as a way to bring my whole collectino with me. I realize that I can stream music from my laptop to my 360, but connecting those two via an ethernet cable has been a hassle. I haven't been able to get the 360 to share the laptop's internet connection. Plus, my room is small to begin with, and I hate having that extra cable. But you're right, it might not be worth the cash.
I just haven't tried XBL yet because of the setup annoyances and kinda want to.
