Walmart's 360's not good?

Joystiq tipster, Brad, is reporting that the Xbox 360 kiosk at his local Wal-Mart has been shutdown. After talking to the manager, Brad was told that the Xbox 360’s “built-in Bluetooth” (360 doesn’t use Bluetooth…?) was causing major problems with the store’s PA system. What’s going on?!

Anyone else have a similar (strange) report?

How strange.

Someone else said all the demos were deleted off his 360 kiosk, so who knows?

Strange things happen around the XBox 360. STrange things.

I don't know, i've never been pleased with Wallmart. I try not to get anything from there, ever.

Wal-mart has a tendency to ruin a lot of things, especially with neglect. When the wal-mart in my town got an Xbox 180 kiosk, the guy in the electronics department told me that not once, not twice, but three times the xbox was actually stolen from the kiosk! They have security cameras, but I guess they don't pay attention too much.

I think the guy was trying to sound intelligent so he just used the Blue-Tooth drive to make himself sound all fancy.

I think you hit the nail on the head there Morder. The guy was trying to sound techy. I don't think the 360 incorporates any Bluetooth stuff straight off the shelf. Second of all, bluetooth has a very limited range. I doubt that if the 360 they have even had bluetooth, it's range is not far enough to interfere with any of their comm systems.

Maybe some computer geek who deleted all games, as some 'joke' to microsoft. (maybe a fired employee)

Shortland · 22-10-2005, 04:26 AM

Theres just something wrong with wal-mart

Aquanox · 22-10-2005, 09:36 AM

Who should I blame? Walmart guys for not knowing a damn about what they're talking about (Bluetooth??) or Joystiq.com for publishing such a ridiculous article. Those kind of problems are normal, they might have some issues with the power supply or stuff like that, not that the 360 is malfunctioning or something.

I've got the feeling that they publish every single little issue the 360 could have.

FordGTGuy · 22-10-2005, 09:41 AM

even a few it couldn't have
