Re: Stores Reporting Bugs In Microsoft's Xbox

In Response To: Stores Reporting Bugs In Microsoft's Xbox (Morphius)

: (This is from Informaition Week Daily - An e-mail I get on a daily basis)

[xbox kiosk problems snipped]

This story keeps coming up. Makes me wonder...

All information on both sides of the argument is anecdotal - these guys did a 'random unscientific study' of 10 stores, others have done similar 'studies', but nobody's gone any deeper (yet). A couple of days ago, Matt talked about the issue - but again, with just anecdotal evidence.

There are a lot of reasons why machines lock up in public situations - not the least of which is the abuse they receive from users. Still... I don't remember a rash of stories like this before the launch of the PS2...

Anyway, it seems like waiting for more solid evidence (one way or the other) makes some sense.
