Mad Catz undercuts Microsoft, releases own 802.11n adapter

Posted on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 in News, Sony PS3, Xbox 360  

Mad Catz, purveyor of cheaper accessories that do the same thing as first-party accessories (sometimes better!) has released its own wireless n adapter to compete with Microsoft’s own offering. Mad Catz’s Wireless-N Gaming Adapter is not only $20 cheaper than Microsoft’s but works on the PlayStation 3 as well.

The Wireless-N Gaming Adapter connects directly to your console’s ethernet port. Since it uses an ethernet cable, it can be plugged into the PlayStation 3 as well. Unfortunately it seems it only has one ethernet port so 360/Ps3 bi-console households are out of luck it seems.

Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz commented in a press release, “With more HD entertainment content and online gaming being delivered via Xbox Live and PSN, we anticipate the need for Wireless-N gaming adapters will increase. Our Wireless-N Adapter allows Xbox 360 users to access the network wirelessly and for PS3 users to upgrade their wireless technology to the faster N standard.
