工作在2.4GHz波段的XB360无线手柄虽然通过了FCC/ETSI的认证,理论上不会对家用电器有任何干扰,但眼下在已经大量放出XB360试玩机台的沃尔玛超市,它却带来了很多未曾预料的影响。
目前部分沃尔马已经关闭了XB360试玩机。
据沃尔玛声称,XB360无线信号干扰到了他们的存货管理系统,包括其中的电子显示设备和收银机。
微软表示解决问题的方法已经找到,目前正在积极对每一个出现干扰的地方提供修补措施。

Wal-Mart, Microsoft Address Xbox 360 Wireless Issues
A number of reports were recently submitted to consumer game weblog Joystiq indicating that in-store Xbox 360 game kiosks, recently installed throughout the North American Wal-Mart department store chain ahead of the console's November 22 launch date, have been turned off. This was apparently due to problems arising from the Xbox 360's wireless controllers causing interference.
The reports cited Wal-Mart employees who claimed, perhaps over-zealously, that the system interfered with everything from the store's inventory control system, through its home electronics displays and its cash registers, all the way to the store's PA system.
An official statement released by Microsoft earlier today, however, claims to pinpoint the problem with the Xbox 360 kiosks. Wal-Mart's "network-based inventory management systems can be impacted by products using modern wireless signals,” a claim borne out by some of the Wal-Mart employees noting that other wireless devices, such as wireless phones, would accomplish the same thing. Microsoft has already addressed the problem, and "a solution to this issue was developed within 24 hours of identifying the issue and we are currently deploying the fix to the affected locations.”
The problem is unlikely to affect any home technology in the way that it caused problems at Wal-Mart, since the Xbox 360 has been certified by the FCC/ETSI for operation in the 2.4GHz band. No other devices with the certification will react negatively to the system's wireless output, though non-certified devices could be at risk. . |
