| don't really care, but
One thing I find interesting is that it's still going when supposedly "off." I'd rather not be having ANY signals coming/going from the thing except standby power, which isn't much... laptops can survive in "standby" and do no such thing.
Personally, never seen this affect anyone I know w/a 360. |

As others stated, it's only off if you unplug it, other than that it is in standby, the signal is for connecting to controllers to wake it up.
I have a lot of 2.4 in my house no problems. It's interesting that the Morrisville folks initially discovered the problem when it affected their BT cell headsets, not the wifi. |

| That's because the Xbox controllers are also Bluetooth, I believe. As are the Wii's controllers and, if I had to guess, probably the PS3's wireless controllers as well. This might make sense that it would interfere with Bluetooth... but I thought Bluetooth did not operate on the 2.4 GHz spectrum? Can anybody confirm which frequency Bluetooth operates on? |

The 360 controllers do not use Bluetooth, they use a use a proprietary wireless signal. Bluetooth is also in the 2.4Ghz range, it starts at 2.402Ghz and ends at 2.48Ghz.
For what its worth the Bluetooth hub for my HTPC sits right next to my 360 and I've never had a problem. |

Close. The Wii also uses bluetooth protocols. The PS3 and the Wii use the standard. The 360 uses a proprietary system. |

The Wii is definitely bluetooth. I've connected it and used it to control my PC (specifically, used it with Nestopia as a zapper )

The govt is using MS to spy on everyone. Xbox is just part of the constant monitoring.
You've been warned.
Why do you think they got rid of lead paint? It shielded houses against many surveillance techniques. |

It is bluetooth because I have paired a wiimote with my iMac and my MacBook's bluetooth and toyed around with them. |
