Wal-Mart pulls plug on 360 kiosks - Xbox 360 News at GameSpot

It is interesting that one of the consequences of early adoption of technologies like RFID or JIT inventory systems eventually start to bleed into deployment issues once the standards are finally in place. I had to live with this as my home 802.11b network had issues post 2000 as the standards started to finalize.

Wal-Mart pulls plug on 360 kiosks - Xbox 360 News at GameSpot: "After this story went live, a Wal-Mart rep communicated with GameSpot, stating the glitch had affected only those Wal-Mart stores with older inventory systems in place. New Wal-Mart stores were not affected. The rep said the number of stores with Xbox 360 kiosks currently stands at 600. The company hopes to have kiosks in 1,200 stores by the first week of November; by mid-November, all Wal-Mart stores should have Xbox 360 kiosks."
