With all the pics going around of the 360 and a few of what 'may be' the power supply, i went to a local walmart to find out. I asked the rep there, and he confirmed it was huge, I asked to see it and here you go: (sorry for large images)

My local walmart (Ypsilanti, MI) also had their 360 shut off. They said that when it was on, it interfered with their wireless scanners

I live in Ann Arbor, MI and i went to the Ypsi WALL-MART. The 360 was ON, but the TV was either off or not connected. The LED on the controller was on as well as the power led on the console itself. No display on the any video-game preview tvs.

I can understand that it kinda does suck that the adapter might be large, but really, who gives a damn? How does it affect your gaming in any way, your Xbox is stationary 99% of the time, so what does an enlarged PSU affect on something that isn't going to be mobile?

yeah, i saw it too.. its the retail a/c.. but who cares, better a huge outside then a inside supply .. for me it can be more bigger.. so i can use it as heater maybe lol

And if you took the current PSU and put it into an external case how big would it be? Probably the same size.

This power adapater is huge and heavy. These pics were taken with my Sony Ericsson 1.3MP camera phone, so sorry for the quality. I opened the demo 360 we got in our walmart today. I was the 1st one to hold our 360, and I don't even work in electronics, I work in the photo lab.

It felt nice to hold, it is lighter than the current xbox. The controller also feels very nice in my hands, I love it. I can't wait to play this bad boy, I am going to see if the electronics dept. manager will let me hook it up.

Enjoy the pics.

I went to the walmart in layton. Once, it was off (controller led was on) but the second time i went back it was working just fine. by the time i finished the call of duty 2 demo my neck hurt bad. Who cares if it interferes with scanners. I don't use scanners in my house.

Well the concern there is it probably interferes with other things too :rolleyes:

Layton, UT?

I live in the same place. Anyways, I went to the Layton walmart today, and they had it off. They said the reason is that it is not only interfering with the scanners, but a lot of other stuff with-in about a 90 foot range.

i need to get a job at the local walmart and steal the 360....Hmm...*runs to get an application*

Seriously i woulda stole it but that's just me...

Hopefully this hole interference thing is figured out. I dont want to have issues with my wireless network and what not

gamerguy999 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 22, 2005, 06:36:00 PM »

No joke, it would interfere with every phone in my house, as well as quite a few other things.

was just in my walmart in west michigan... they said theyve had no problems... offtopic: they were running theirs in 1080 , and call of duty 2 looked pretty amazing... dunno about 60 bucks amazing, but it was fun and the framerate solid.

I played @ the Ypsilanti store too, the afternoon that they first got it installed. I diddn't notice any problems with the controller losing signal or anything.

I wasn't working a scanner tho...
