Xbox 360 clashes with wireless devices at Wal-Mart, according to reader reports

After our report last week that the Xbox 360 might be interfering with wireless devices in use at Wal-Mart, more anecdotal evidence has trickled in.
There may now be enough evidence to warrant deeper investigation.

There's no reason to get worried about the Xbox 360 launch date (there, we recognized the elephant in the room), but the breadth and frequency of these reports point to a compatibility issue between the Xbox 360 and Wal-Mart, at least.
Anyway, click "continue reading" for all 8 reader reports:

2.4 RF will screw with the Symbol handhelds which are pretty much the backbone of Wal-Mart day to day business.
That?s probably why they shut the consoles off. Even wireless speaker system demos that run on 2.4 will screw things
up. ? bb

the walmart i live by and sadly work at, has a problem with the hand scanner not working properly because of the
360. strange indeed. ? darksar

the scanners they use operate around 900Hz, they cant use cordless phones cuz they mess with the outdated system ?

I work at walmart?. the truth is that the 2.4ghz interferes with our ?Smart?system. nation-wide all walmarts had
to stop using the pa system, because costumers complain, so 360?s 2.4 is a scapegoat. at my store we use wireless
home theater systems as our excuse ? BugX

I work at a Wal Mart here. We had a problem like this too. But with us it crashed our SMART system, which made all
handheld terminals not function. Those handheld devices use a wireless network to function and somehow it interfered
with that. ? Charlie

Went to the Ypsilanti, MI Walmart yesterday and they had the 360 there but it was not turned on because the
electronics person said it was interferring with their photo lab. A rep is supposed to come this week and fix it. It
looked good but would have liked to have played it. ? Krista

The WalMart in Lansing, MI has one, but it?s not running because Peggy, Mildred and Linda (not their real names,
but pretty descriptive of the old ladies working this dept) in the electronics department SWEAR that it?s screwing up
their cash register scanner. I don?t believe it, myself. I think that the MS rep didn?t set it up, and the WalMart
yokels screwed up the 360 by setting it up themselves before they were supposed to do it. ? XenoCorpse

Inline kiosk is up in Walmart in Kewanee, IL but not playable. According to the guy at the electronics counter:
?it screws up all of our electronics? ? vidGuy

Heck, it could even be the Samsung displays that are shipped with the Xbox 360 that are causing these issues. There are approximately 3600 Wal-Mart stores in the United States, according to Wal-Mart.com. 

Do you work in Wal-Mart and have you experimented with this? Let us know.
