I have used the 85mbps and now have the 200mbps Solwise plugs and they are fantastic. For just online gaming to a Xbox / PS then the 85mbps will suffice easily. It is the same performance as CAT5. Wireless should be extinct.

There is a online store that sells the Solwise 85mbps 2 plug kit as their own budget brand for under £40, absolute bargain.

Yep, thats my setup. Works perfectly. I have 2x200mbps homeplugs, one end at the router, one end at my AV location, connected to a switch feeding my iMac and PS3.

Just ordered this for £42 delivered. Went with Virgin for TV and net which means the wireless router will be next to one xbox, so only ended up needing two.

Cheers for the help
