360’s Next-Gen Wireless Out November 3?

GameStop is taking preorders for the Xbox 360 Wireless N adaptor, whose existence was recently confirmed, but for which no launch date was given. It ships Nov. 3, says GameStop.

For those not in the know, the 802.11n standard is a step up from the plebeian 802.11g. The other piece of news, this new product was said to be tied to the Zune video store update on Xbox Live. So if GameStop’s listing is correct, that’s now on the clock for early November, too.

The unit is $US99.99. As reported earlier, the original flavour 802.11g adaptor is due for a $US20 trim once its souped-up cousin hits.
