Xbox 360 Crashes Walmart System

The other day I wrote about how I thought the availability of the Xbox 360 at some local Walmarts crashed the Walmart website but now it looks like I wasn’t that far off from the truth from this digg:

Xbox 360 kiosks placed in Wal-Mart stores across the country have been shut off, said a Microsoft spokesperson contacted this afternoon. The reason, according to Microsoft, is due to the console causing interference with Wal-Mart's wireless "hand scanner" inventory system. Microsoft has acknowledged the problem as being "minor" and says a software solution is in the works to correct it.

I’m sure this is just a rare conincidence but it would be pretty wild if everyone brought home their new Xbox 360’s and they started interfering with their wireless phones.
