If you mean the adaptor that plugs into the Wii USB port and accepts a network cable then they are not released yet...

There is only a ds one available, and it works perfectly with the wii too.

It's €45 in GAME. Last time I saw it was new years eve in the Ilac Centre.

I have definitely seen these downstairs in HMV grafton street (games section usually near the downstairs entrance). Now that was over the last couple of months but I think I saw some on the shelves there the other day.

Hope thats some help.

I got one of these lads in GAME Dawson St the day before Christmas Eve.

€45 is what it cost.

They were behind the counter.

Yup, there were 4 a while before Christmas but after that thread about getting the Wii online, the numbers dropped to 1. I'm sure a fair few stores have them behind the counter.

Wi-Fi Max from Argos

It's about the same price, but should be easily available, and will work with anything else that uses wi-fi too

[edit]
Actually I had a quick look, and the only place I found available was Blanchardstown west end, but I didn't check everywhere...

was just about to say that for €45 you could pick up a wireless router. Far easier, and universal too!

Actually there are drivers that can be downloaded that make the nintendo wifi dongle universal, but a router is better. Also my dongle stopped working... which was VERY annoying.
