Need recommendations / help on Wireless Network Adapaters for Xbox 360

As you might guess by the title, I'm looking to see if anyone can recommend me a USB WiFi card / Wireless Network Adapater that works with the Xbox 360.

Currently the one that is Officially for the Xbox 360 is $99 New (And Can be found for about $10-15 cheaper on Amazon.com),
but I've heard third party cards/dongles/whatever-the-hell-you-call-them are cheaper.

This is where you come in. Any that you know of that DO work for sure? I don't want to pay ~$100 for a Wireless device.

Currently, these are prospective alternatives I have found:

Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter

Trendnet Wireless USB 2.0 adapter

U.S. Robotics USB 2.0 Wireless MAXg USB Adapter

NETGEAR USB 2.0 Wireless Adapter

Thanks if you can help out.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dammit... well, I guess I'll just continue to use the 360 with wires then. Its a small price I'll have to pay, versus a large one, of $99.

Also Xardion, that's a range extender, the Wireless Network Adapter plugs directly into the 360, two different (but related) products.

Besides, one can make a Range extender themselves, if they have the right stuff lying around the house :3

There's nowhere I can't reach.

My range extender plugs directly into the 360 also.
Ahh, didn't know that. Nevermind then.

If you've got it plugged in via a wire how comes you need the wireless?
Mainly so that I can have the 360 out in the living room, where the nice big TV is. The one I have now in my bedroom is functional, but its hard to read the text sometimes on some of the games, like Forza 2, and plus since the TV out in the living room is an Flatscreen, it will display everything at once, instead of leaving stuff out on the edges on the TV in my room.

If I'm playing my 360 out there, then I'd want to use Live just as I do in here, and it would be dammed difficult to move my router out there, a lot more difficult then getting a wireless adapater.

For Convince, in other words.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
