Linksys Makes Wireless Play For Gamers

Posted by simoniker on Thursday July 31, 2003 @02:01PM from the wireless-fun-for-everyone dept.

SycloneFX writes "According to an article on CNET News, Linksys have announced two new adapters that are designed to connect game consoles, including PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube. The article summarizes: 'The new adapters are available immediately, and are based on the 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking standards. The 802.11b-based adapter, called the Wireless-B Game Adapter, costs $79, while the 802.11g-based Wireless-G Game Adapter costs $129.'" Seems like simple, easy-to-set-up wireless for online/LAN console gaming is a great way to go.

Methinks this is a smart move for Linksys by luekj · 2003-07-31 14:58 · Score: 2, Interesting

Really.
Gaming, especially online gaming, is a potentially lucrative market for sure
Props to linksys for seeing the need in the market for 'plug and play' networking products marketed as console exclusive.
They know what they're doing, at least in this endeavor.
