Microsoft is updating their wireless support for the Xbox 360 with a new wireless network adaptor, releasing today. The new adaptor will sell for $99.99 and increases the speed, range and wireless security features of the adaptor. The product had been rumored to exist for a few months, with Microsoft essentially being mum on the topic. Today Newegg.com listed the adaptor as on sale and Major Nelson confirmed its release.

Before you think that this is another wave of the Xbox 360 accessory assault, know that this adaptor is 7 times faster than the old model and also has twice the range. Considering that Xbox Live will soon have Facebook and Twitter along with the service’s bajillion other features, this is a pretty useful accessory.
