Question about warning label on Xbox one package

zeevsoshenko · Apr 24, 2015

Hello. First of all, this is not a troll post.

I have noticed a warning label on my Xbox one package:

"Laser radiation - Do not look directly into the beam. 1mW> 2nm+- 654nm"

What does it mean? The thing is, I connect the device to a PC monitor and therefore I sit near the console. Is there cause for concern or is it alright to sit near the console?

Thanks!

:)

Report: No Used Games on Next Xbox

[quote user=""]Even the first Mass Effect on the PC requires a one time activation on the internet before you can use it offline.[/quote]Is there not a label on the package about it? Similar to how some of Ubisoft's games with their cruddy "always
online DRM" had a label about it on the package?

[/quote]There is indeed that warning. So if this unlikely rumour about the blocking of used games on the next Microsoft console does turn out to be true, I think we would get a similar warning on those game boxes as well.

As Piztup says, the online pass could easily evolve into an activation key for the whole game rather than just the online side.

No worries, it looks like they will have to put a warning on the box. It also looks like at some point they may be FORCED to offer a version without the Kinect.

You're fine its just warning you about the Blu-ray laser.

The warning is for the optical audio laser as well as the BluRay disc laser - no real need for concern with normal use. You would only need to worry about it if you stare into the disc slot or the optical audio output port on the back of the console, which
most people are intelligent enough not to do so.

Don't worry. As it's been said, looking into the laser under normal operation would be pretty much impossible. You would have to be looking directly at the beam. The Blu-ray drive is sitting inside the machine which means you can't look directly into the
beam anyway. The machine is not emitting harmful radiation or anything.

This is here just because it has to be.
