    In reply to Mad Catz Ships Its Own Wireless-N Adapter
    Gaming over a wifi network makes me shudder. I opted for the 50ft Ethernet cable and just ran it along the wall under the carpet from the living room to the bedroom.

    The only exception is the Wii since I refuse to buy an Ethernet dongle and the actual MP the unit gets is minimal. #madcatz

    @Taggart6: I don't always drink beer, but when I do...: hahaha, i know what you mean. either microsoft wireless for 99 bucks or a 50 ft ethernet cable for less than 10 bucks at frys. I also hardwired my nintendo wii when i found a usb ethernet dongle for 4 bucks at fry's too. #madcatz

    @Taggart6: I don't always drink beer, but when I do...: Gaming over 802.11b sucks. It's really not as bad as everyone says though on a G or N network though.

    If you got the option to run wires threw your house, it's a worth while idea. You might as well higher someone to run them threw the walls though. #madcatz

    @sereal: I live in an apartment so thats a no go for me. Otherwise I would do it myself.

    It was cheaper to get a free 50ft Ethernet cable from work and run it along the wall. #madcatz

    You can get these networking devices that work through the wiring already in your house, so out through the power sockets. I forget what they're called properly, but it's a really good idea. #madcatz

    @digiboy123: And I ruf the net flawlessly on my wifi laptop at home...that is unless my router randomly flakes out or signal strength drops.

    Hardwired is more reliable. That's industry proven. If you can do it, why not? #madcatz

    And yet, you can STILL do it much cheaper with a router. This is not a "Fine way to go".

    @MrFresh:
    But this isn't really a real wireless adapter the same way the MS wireless adapter works.

    This just basically plugs into your Ethernet port and tricks the machine into thinking that you have a direct wired connection.

    These devices have been around since the PS2/Xbox days. This one is just powered with wifi-n instead of wifi-g/b #madcatz

    Hey, here is a unique idea for an accessory that will make people buy PSPGos. Why not make a USB hookup that let's one copy the physical games they actually purchased and planned on keeping to the system? #pspgotravelercase

    Love this case. It came with the PSP Go when you pre-ordered it at FutureShop. I use it to travel, but when I'm playing, I like the machine to be light. Also, with the case on it, you have a hard time reaching the volume buttons... But for 20$, this is the best PSP Go case there is. #pspgotravelercase

    I own this case and it is very nice. It reminds me of my old glasses case and palm cell phone holder. The only thing that bothers me is that they used velcro instead of magnets... So you cannot sneak open your PSP Go in school/work/family outing without people knowing.

    I agree with Brian... this thing cannot stand worth peanuts on a smooth surface. #pspgotravelercase

    That Saturn might be worth it...

    The Genesis as well...

    But the only way they'd get money out of my was if they made the original Sega Master System into a lighter.
