Even though the new-and-improved Xbox 360 wireless N adapter is supposedly going to cost $99.99 whenever it inevitably gets released, the standard 802.11b model available today hasn't budged in price. Well, at least not officially.
Microsoft may still be charging a premium fee for the device, but a few online retailers seem to have given it a price drop. As stumbled upon by my co-worker Ben, the adapters can be found for nearly $75 (closer to $80 when shipping is included).
Whether this is a temporary thing or not remains to be seem, but for the time being, it's a decent start. The fact that I moved my wireless router into my living room next to my Xbox 360 and brought wireless cards for my PCs in order to save money should be proof enough that these things are overpriced.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

There is no understanding. The logic would blow your mind.
Be careful, it's possible that if it's a pirated one that it won't work with the new update. I've also heard of people getting banned for using Hard Drives from China.
It's probably why I'm stuck on my Wii and the last generation.
Have you thought about trying a rental service like GameFly? That would take care of having to pay $60 a game, unless it's one you actually want to own. I very rarely go out and buy games anymore providing there isn't a sale or some type of promotional deal going on. Even then, I don't hesitate to buy a used copy when I can find it. Or hey, if renting isn't your thing have you looked up Goozex? It's a company that lets people trade titles with one another. I haven't tried it myself but I've heard plenty of people say that it's a very good service and trustworthy.
