    XBOX 360 hates my school.

    I got an email notice:

    Attention VSU students: The Information Technology Dept. has recently
    been made aware of a possible conflict between our campus wireless
    internet and the new wireless controllers for the Xbox 360 game system.
    These wireless controllers operate at 2.4 GHz at which our wireless
    internet system also operates. If you live in the dorms please do not
    use the wireless Xbox 360 controllers! Wired controllers are available
    at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Target, and many other stores around Valdosta.
    Please be kind to yourself and your fellow students. Buy a wired
    controller and use it! If you have any questions please feel free to
    contact us. Thank you very much.
    ...and that's why.

    Geez, that must really suck. If it was me, I wouldn't buy anothert controller, plus, I don't like wored controllers, they're annoying...

      It says "possible conflict". It's kinda crappy that the campus would make that demand without making certain if there would be a problem or not. Sometimes things running on the same frequency still don't interfere with each other. Plus don't the controllers have a short range? I'm just guessing here but even if there was a problem wouldn't it probably only affect that room or maybe a room next to it.

        There probably just making it out to be a bigger deal than it really is. If the controllers really are causing problems though, what they're asking is not unreasonable.

          this is pretty much a "hey, if you want to screw with your school, here's how" letter.

            you got all kinds of signals everywhere. cell phones, wireles routers, satalite tv, walkie talkies, radios, ect.

            I wouldn't worry unless its painfully obvious theres a problem that can't be fixed.

              The idea of a wireless network is nice, but the problem is, it's a wireless only network.

                I would use wireless until the school bought me wired ones.

                  Practically every wireless item uses 2.4 GHZ.

                        I don't think you can get into college with that level of grammar.

                          Maybe if I go to some easy geeky school. Then I can just say wOOt! and be myself. Actually I am not that stupid. I doubt there is a college with dorms that will let me in for knowing wOOt! But back on topic about how the controller messes up the network stuff. Sweetness.
