Wireless Gaming, help!

How is the XBOX 360 Pelican Wireless Gaming Network Adapter? I need wireless internet for my XBOX 360 and i was wondering if anyone knew how well the XBOX 360 Pelican Wireless Gaming Network Adapter worked? Is it as good or almost as good as the official wireless adapter? Its $70 cheaper so as long as it doesn't cause lag while playing online it would be worth it. So does anyone own it want to tell me how it performs? Thanks in advance.

Well, I don't have it but it is just like any other access point, except it contains 360 decals and coloring.

It is a different device than the 360 adapter. The 360 adapter is a USB wireless dongle that interacts with the 360 directly. The Pelican adapter is an access point, which requires a spare power outlet and hooks into the 360's Ethernet/network port. You probably won't notice a difference in speed.

I am not sure how much Pelican's adapter costs, but I wouldn't pay more than $50 for it. If you are going to spend more than that, then get something by Linksys or a first party PC company that specializes in making network devices.
