Well, Joystiq is reporting that a whole pile of WalMart stores in the US have playable Xbox 360 kiosks up and running, so I thought we could compile a list on the NES files of all of the stores we find that have them. What you need to do is go to http://walmart.com (or http://walmart.ca for us Canucks) and use the "Store Finder" link to find the store nearest to you, and give 'em a call. Ask to be transferred to the Electronics department, and ask if they have "The Xbox 360 demo kiosk" set up. Sadly, there have been no reports of any in Canada, but I'm going to call my local one a little later. If you do get a chance to check it out, take photos, and give us yout full opinion of it. The Joystiq list is: Huntsville, AL (call ahead! one reader couldn’t find it) Benton, AR Rogers, AR Bakersfield, CA Elk Grove, CA (pending setup) Highlands Ranch, CO Naugatuck, CT (maybe not? call ahead) New Milford, CT Ames, IA Davenport, IA (soon) Dubuque, IA Boise, ID Moscow, ID Addison, IL DeKalb, IL Palatine, IL Peoria, IL (pending setup) Carmel, IN (pending setup) Indianapolis, IN Kendallville, IN Terre Haute, IN Lawrence, KS Clairmont, NH (pending setup) Lebanon, NH (pending setup) Louisville, KY Sanford, ME Eldersburg, MD Owings Mills, MD (pending setup) Columbia, Missouri (pending setup) Lansing, MI Ypsilanti, MI Coon Rapids, MN Fridley, MN Hastings, MN Hermantown, MN St. Anthony, MN (call ahead! one reader couldn’t find it) Farmington, MO (on Monday) Harrisonville, MO Fulton, MS Pascagoula, MS (pending setup) Lincoln, NE Neptune, NJ Phillipsburg, NJ Secaucus, NJ (by Friday) Tunersville, NJ (by Friday) Grove, OK Stillwater, OK Clackamas, OR (pending setup) State College, PA Myrtle Beach, SC Chattanooga, TN Kingsport, TN Layton, UT (pending setup) Colonial Heights, VA Auburn, WA Kennewick, WA Lacey, WA Spokane, WA Eau Claire, WI Hudson, WI Sun Prairie, WI Barboursville, WV Rapid City, SD (Walmart, and BestBuy) Wapakoneta, OH We'll update the list with any new locations discovered.

I tried out it too in my local Wapakoneta, OH wal-mart. Sweet hardware. It's sweet. I probably will get one this christmas. No one seems to care about it as much as me though. :lol:
Maybe it's better if I didn't have an avatar so i didn't have to spend all my time making one...

I'd like to test out the Revolution rather than XB360, which doesn't have much games I'd like to play, only shooters and racers.

It would be intresting to try the revolution, if only to have a go on the controller.

I wonder how they'll display the Revolution?
I mean they'll have to wire the controller to the wall or something, or it's gone after a second.
I already saw DS displays where they stole the stylus off. :lol: And that although it was wired to the display stand.

I wonder if it's the same thief? : I was going to try the XBOX 360, but some punk kid wouldn't leave it alone so I couldn't get a try. :cry:
