If you have someone who knows a little about wireless networking and can spend some time reconfiguring the router and the wireless bridge (generic name for the gaming adapter) that you buy, you might be able to get a cheaper one with less features.

When I was searching for a bridge for my home theater system, I was amazed to find that wireless bridges were more expensive then wireless routers, even though routers have more functionality.

If you're really savy, I would recommend getting a router and installing custom firmware like dd-wrt that can make it act as a wireless bridge
