Am I correct in thinking that each level of wired reflexes grants two extra minor actions?

P.40, Game Timing and Actions
Quote
The basic action allotment for each character is 1 Minor Action and 1 Major Action per combat round. Players get 1 additional Minor Action for every Initiative Die they have.

P.287, Wired Reflexes
Quote
each rating point of wired reflexes gives you +1 Reaction (and accompanying bonus to your Initiative Score), 1 additional Initiative Die, and 1 additional Minor Action.

So, +1 for the bonus die and +1 for the printed bonus per level?

(I had assumed that this was the case until I started looking over the archetypes and noticed that some, like the street samurai, seemed to contradict this, and wasn't sure if it was just intended to be a clarification - albeit a confusingly worded one!)

No, it's confusing but it's probably just sloppy editing. Apart from anything else the cap of 5 Minor actions per round means you'd max out after Wired Reflexes 2, which is surely not what was intended...?

No, as far as we can tell you should simply read that as a repeating of the benefit an extra initiative die gives you.
How am I not part of the forum?? O_O I am both active and angry!

If you apply it verbatim?  Yes, you'd get two dice for every 1 rating of Wired Reflexes. 

That said, I believe the posters above me for the intent (that they meant to re-iterate that you are getting the extra action BECAUSE of the extra die).

The better way to have written it would have been:

Quote
each rating point of wired reflexes gives you +1 Reaction (and accompanying bonus to your Initiative Score) and 1 additional Initiative Die (which includes the 1 additional minor action [pg 40]).
OR
Quote
each rating point of wired reflexes gives you +1 Reaction (and accompanying bonus to your Initiative Score) and 1 additional Initiative Die (see page 40 for benefits of additional initiative dice).

Nice.  Of the two, I like that second one better.
