There is a report from Network World mentioning (or better put in this way “suggesting”) that the Xbox 360’s built-in wireless system for communication with wireless controllers and headsets is transmitting over a wide area of the 2.4Ghz spectrum, causing a interference to WLAN’s and other 2.4Ghz devices. The interference is strong enough to disturb a baby monitor frequency whenever it is turned on. A anonymous commenter in Network Word said a similar kind of interference occurred with his Sony PS3 was on, but that has not been confirmed from any party yet.

Heh, guess Microsoft have to patch this ” wireless signal too strong” issue in the coming Xbox firmware..

Do you own a Xbox 360? Do you have this problem? :-)
