Wal-Mart Xbox 360 display pics

By Alan Rose

Following up on
our earlier story, we now have some pics to show of the Xbox 360 displays popping up at Wal-Marts all around the country, thanks to one of our loyal readers in Albuquerque, NM
(no Bugs Bunny jokes, please). As confirmed this morning, Kameo, Call of Duty 2, and King Kong were among the playable demos and there is even a separate external memory card slot for bonus content downloading.

We received some great comments throughout the day from those of you who made the pilgrimage to your local Wal-Mart.
Here's a brief recap:

Positives:

  • Overall, the demos were enjoyable and one of our readers even stuck around long enough to beat the Call of
    Duty 2     demo (you still have a job after that, dude?)

  • 3 readers in Addison, IL read our post and bumped into each other at their local display (Joystiq party!)

  • The AC power brick is apparently not as big as we were led to believe

Negatives:

  • Caution: the ergonomics of the oddly-angled display may result in neck sprains!

  • Bugs: collision detection issues were apparent in some of the games

  • Mini boss battles with 6-year-olds who wouldn't let go of the controllers (anyone work out a hack for this?)

Keep those comments coming and let us know what you thought about your experience with the 360!

[Thanks, Galt!]
