The Xbox 360 goes through a drawn-out process from the factory to in your hands at Wal - Mart . As the WSJ allege :
“ It takes a global train of element suppliers , factories and distributors to flex 1,700 dissimilar part into an Xbox 360 ”
Damn ! That ’s a lot . So what ’s the deal with the 360 ? What happens to it when it ’s finished being tack and is “ ready ” to go ? The WSJ goes through the punctilious physical process of what happens to the Xbox 360 :
“ After each Xbox 360 rolls off the line , it undergoes two hours or so of automated examination and five instant of manual testing before being pack into a sheet or a 40 - metrical foot - long ship ’s container . Back at Microsoft ’s headquarters in Redmond , Wash. , Mr. Holmdahl keep a database chronicling the family tree of every Xbox 360 , include where it was made and shipped and exactly which parts are in it , so that any problem can be trace promptly .
The finished machine move through Hong Kong , then by boat to Chiba , Japan ; Rotterdam , the Netherlands ; or Long Beach , Calif. Some units reach the U.S. by air freight , land in either Chicago or Toledo , Ohio . All U.S.-bound Xbox 360s finally go across through a central dispersion center in Memphis , Tenn. , where they are pack onto trucks and trains bound for stores run by Wal - Mart Stores Inc. and Best Buy Co. , among others . ”
Journey of an Xbox 360 . I can see the movie now . The travelling of a lone 360 unit trying to find its station in the Earth . It ends with the unit being given to a small fry with crutches as a present on Christmas morning . Call me , Spielberg . We ’ll work the deception .
