    Hey there!
    Quick question.
    Can I use the Xbox 360 Wireless Internet Adapter, on the front USB's and not only on the one in the back?
    My Xbox is set up against the wall, so it's not possible for me to use it there.
    Just needed to know before buying.

    Thanks!

    Yep, from firsthand experience I can tell you that you can use the WLAN adapter on the front USB-ports of the X360 as well, however it doesn't really look tidy this way. That being said, I doubt you're unable to connect it to the back part, since the power supply cable is so bulky it will give more then enough space for the adapter to be placed even when the unit is setup against a wall.

    Thanks for the reply wombat!
    You're right about the power supply stickin out.
    Because I have made a "custom"furniture for my consoles, it's not possible for me, without drilling a hole in it.
    But once again, thank you for helping me!!!

    Well, you can't use it in ANY USB port. There's a couple USB ports on the back of the Wii, you can't use it there... :D

    Whoua I wonder how your 360 doesn't overheat if the rear exhaust is against a wall :/

    Yeah, this was what I was thinking. The 360 vents air out of the back, so it's probably not a good idea to have it up against a wall. Just moving it forward a few inches would be good.
