Microsoft Rep Confirms Xbox 360 Kiosk Distribution

An MS rep (who chooses to remain anonymous) has tipped us off to the rollout plans of the Xbox 360 kiosk in all the major U.S. gaming retailers. Here are the details:

* All current Xbox display units in Wal-Mart will be replaced with Xbox 360 kiosks over the next three weeks. (Our previous story confirmed the start of this work during the past week.)
* Best Buy kiosks start arriving next week, and installation should be done by the week after.
* Target and Toys “R” Us will get inline displays (like the one pictured here), while other stores—including GameStop, EB, and Circuit City—will get either freestanding kiosks (”which look great”) or specialty display cabinets.

Finally, all of the display kiosks will use Samsung 23” HDTVs, as noted in the past. So… if you haven’t been able to play 360 demos up to this point, you’ll probably have a very good chance to do so in the near future.

I'm going to wal-mart tonight to pick up another xbox game to keep me occupied until the 360. Hopefully they already have one up at the store in my home town.

I work at eb games and we already have the kiosk, it is impossible for somebody to try to steal it, althought we already have problems with people trying to destroy it

bigmanslim · 22-10-2005, 09:54 PM

omg, i went down to wal mart a couple days ago and it was there!

i played on it for a good 2 hours and then proceeded to call up all my friends. If you guys haven't tried it, it's like a drug, get down there, you won't be able to put it down!

Also, i think call of duty 2 was the better of the two demoes (kameo, Call of duty 2) at mine, just for a little review.

There are NO WALMARTS in NY.

How is that possible?

I think Microsoft doesn't like PA. I haven't seen a kiosk in my area anywhere. What did I do to deserve this.
