Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter Times A Hundred

An Xbox 360 Wireless Adapter is a must-have accessory for the kind of rich and immersive gameplay offered by Microsoft's gaming platform

. It's the kind of add-on peripheral which so enhances the experience that it really should have been included with the system to begin with. But of course that would raise the price of the console, and for all its inherent value an Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter is not the first thing one thinks to buy after purchasing the console. But with one gamers can play with each another online or locally, only without a tangle of wires for a much more seamless experience. As electronic entertainment becomes an increasingly social occasion, it's certain that wireless network adapters will be even more popular and, indeed, available preinstalled on videogaming systems of the near future.

An Xbox 360 wireless network adapter is therefore very much a necessity, even today. But speaking of the morrow, Microsoft is at work on an achievement that will revolutionize home entertainment like nothing before. Imagine playing games where there are no controllers to be used - and certainly not those to be held in the hand. Imagine instead the kind of gameplay that's based on human kinetics - where you yourself are the controller! Where your very movements affect onscreen actions and there is no interface between you and what happens.

Imagine no more, because this incredible new product is due from Microsoft within another year or two at the most! It's an electronic eye of sorts that's mounted separately from the console but will relay spatial data back to it concerning the player's movements - even down to tracking eyeball movements! Imagine playing a first-person shooter like Halo or Medal of Honor where turning your head right causes your onscreen perspective to change accordingly, with scenery rightwards of your alter ego viewed in keeping with your off-screen real-world movements! More than any hardware controller possible, this soon-to-come device will by itself redefine videogaming. So while today's Xbox 360 games are quite advanced, the Xbox accessories on the horizon will require software that rethinks the whole onscreen/offscreen divide. Hardware and software exist in a symbiotic relationship, and it will be interesting to see what transpires next now that the hardware has taken a quantum leap forward!

Which brings us back to the by-now seemingly humble, nondescript, even, wireless adapter. For no matter how fancy the interface, real hardware "in the guts" is a necessary foundation. And so for the kinds of social occasions that this new amazing interface is sure to create, a wireless network adapter will be not just an accessory or peripheral, but a central aspect to the reality of next-generation gaming.
