Yeah, you can tell that people who'd rather pay $1 instead of $3 for the same item are just dumb as boards!

most of the prices are the same at walmart except for the one they advertise.

What are you talking about, exactly? For example, would you say that a pair of pants costs the same at Wal Mart as at Nordstroms? Plenty of things are the same or similar prices everywhere, that's true. Plenty of other things, though, are just plain cheaper at Wal Mart, which is precisely why so many shop there.

In any case, this thread's about the 360's wireless controller interfering with Wal Mart's hand scanners, which the article states was remedied within 24 hours. Seems like a dead topic to me.

@ an undisclosed walmart location:

pimple-faced manager: well Gary, as head guru of the DVD department, here is your shot at the bigtime. If you can manage to open the kiosk with these sets of keys here, and put this cd with updated software into the xbox 360 over there, you'll be ready for the big leagues....we're talking lights, moviestars, the automotive department....good times gary, good times....
 
the x-ray 360😉

According to the kiosk install instructions (see Joystiq.com) the controllers are wired.

You don't get out much, do you?

Yeah, don't let the big numbers scare you... visible light ranges from around 400 Tera Hertz to 800 Tera Hertz in frequency.

Radio waves are harmless and don't affect the atoms in your body, they just pass right through. The harmful types of radiation are the higher types, like ultraviolet, xrays, gamma, and cosmic particles. We get a certain amount of all of these just by walking around outside, so don't let that scare you either.
