Xbox 360 Fanboy

if i can respond to the IM's wittout it opening the guide and hampering my gameplay...then of course $30 would be a small price to pay. its really not all that expensive in the first place, and it would make multitasking alot more effortless.

ill go for it.

I wish it was $20, but $30 is not particularly unreasonable. If they would include some MS points, I'd be sold for sure... now I just have to mull it around a bit.

hah, I knew it.. I'd pick it up @ $30. New headset, new input device.

30 bucks, of course. I believe thats an acceptable price for texting :)

Wouldn't it be a good idea to make messenger remotely usable on the 360, before releasing kits for it?

Fuck yes! for $30 US or probably $35 CAD, I'll definetly buy this.

When is this gonna be out. I've been waiting for this since the spring dashboard update.

I'll wait for user feedback. I can get a keyboarrd for less than that. Plus, I haven't had a need for chat on the 360 yet.

I would be excited, but MS still hasn't fixed the bug where if you created your XBL account while underage, you can never access MSN Messnger (even after you're 18, it never reflects your status as an adult and no way to change it).

I have yet to use Messenger since I'm still labeled as a "child account", even though I'm over 18.

If it makes playing FFXI easier when typing, then yes.

Wow, it looks like there are going to be a lot more mmo's for the 360. But I have to say a plain old wireless usb keyboard already works pretty good in Phantasy Star Universe.

Yea I would, $30 for the pad and a headset is worth it to me, also been waiting for this since the Spring Dashboard!

This is ok. I'm just using a wireless keyboard. It's easy to type on, and I already had one so it was free. If you have a usb keyboard, that will work as well. Not to mention, I'm using it now and not whenever this thing is available.

I'll wait. Right now I just stick a keyboard on there if I really need it. But I don't use MSN through the xbox, it's irritating to have people IM me when I'm in a firefight :P

"No baby, I can't chat right now I'm getting shot at by the Locus"

i'll probably pick one up. i don't want to put down my controller during a game to swap over to a full usb keyboard to respond to a quick IM.


$30 is totally reasonable.

I was expecting $50 for this.
$30 is pretty good with a headset. Nice, now I'll have 2 headsets.

thanks for that update. It's nice to know when this thing actually comes out now.

$30 is perfectly reasonable. I can't wait to use this with Counter Strike: Source!

how did you get your wireless keyboard to work with the 360?
