Xbox 360 Playable at Wal-Mart

hattan writes "Wal-Mart has playable Xbox 360s on display with demos of Call of Duty 2, Kameo, and King Kong. Joystiq has a look at what the setup looks like, with a rundown on locations where you can play." Gamespot provides more details on the setup, including the news that you'll be able to download content from these kiosks once the systems are on the shelves. Unrelatedly, but interestingly, Xbox.com has revealed a deep level of interconnection with the new gamer card system between the 360, Xbox Live, and Xbox.com. You'll apparently be able to look at your gamer card on the web, because Microsoft likes value adding stuff.

    If they're anything like the Wal-Mart displays of current consoles I've seen, someone will break the controller in most of these displays before you know it.

    I think I found the 'Couple Finds Porn On Memory Stick' article more fascinating and interesting than this...

    Wire a 4 kV power supply to the controller via a timer and relay. After ten minutes of continuous play, close the relay. BANG! Zoom! Award a daily prize for greatest distance achieved.
