I use it and that is one way how all of the staff stay in contact.

You know that is not user friendly I mean I like using the whole controller meaning the gap where the keyboard is, I mean if it could be a seperate add on like how you put the headset in then have a area for the headset it'd be good... Though that'd be a bit complicated anyways, what is this new xboxlive msn? Is it for the live pc thing in the other thread?

ERRRRM edit: ignore the top half of my response my dumb ass didn't read the whole fricken article T-T. But I still want to know what this live msn thing is, is it coming with the dashboard update or something?

[SamSmith]

I'm the only one who thinks this is cool? Trusting that it's all true ofc :P
MSN on xbl... might just be the thing I need to get me using it again. Can't wait!

[Zytius]

I still use MSN, lol. I have also been waiting for something like this thumbpad keyboard forever. I was enchanting items in Oblivion last night and was wishing I had it!

[Shawn-XBA]

is it coming with the dashboard update or something?

Yes, its coming in the spring update. There's a video you can watch in the first post and here's some more info (http://www.xboxaddict.com/news/view.php?News_ID=8012) on it. :)

[HaZarD SFD]

oMG WOW on the 360! THat will boost sales like a mofo! :hump: :hump: :hump:

That's true. With a controller like that it will make MMORPGs much easier for consoles.

[MrGTI]

I like it. http://vr6.pharfruminsain.com/vwvortex/thumbsup2.gif

I'd consider getting one. :)

According to OXM, it's already in development.

Prediction: pretty soon consoles will be exactly like macs; all the functionality of PCs and you buy one with it in mind that you won't upgrade it and get the new one when it comes out. However, they will be marketed like e-machines, there will be varying options in graphics, physics, and HD, as well as different types of media format options

[mattgame]

I thought it was cool and yes I will have one. I wonder if it's going to come in black to match my controller on April 29th.

[MXracer721]

That thing looks prettty sweet to me.

[wulkar]

I take my prior statement back, it is real, i read and saw many images on joystiq, it looks to clean to me, and i wont be getting one, i don't use MSN messenger.

[FatBox]

If WoW ever comes out for the 360 then I'll be getting one, otherwise there would be no point.

[Ainokeatoo]

I hardly doubt ever, wow will come to xbox, not saying never just hardly doubt it, seeing as if it does the whole story line or whatever is going to change, and box... Let's put it in this light, if you lose your headset, break it, and your broke for a period of time and can not replace it, I would get the keyboard so that I can write up messages faster, or if your making fun of someone with a mike you could type faster than him or whatever lol i think i'm the only one who gets death threats from random idiots on rainbow xD....

[Conchord]

I think it looks neat. Useless, but a decent idea.

[BROOKLYNSBATMAN]

I think WOW will come out to 360 and think about why wouldnt it... i mean the things i hear why it wouldnt in all honesty, is lil minor things for microsoft ... IDK i might be wishing to hard but this lil gizmo coming out phantasy star last year microsoft is heading that way ... i dont see y they wouldnt... make it..

[Ace080]

I think Microsoft said somtihng about the chat thing and that you don't need the keyboard, controller. You can also plug in a usb keyboard and type with it.

i think noone understood that and batman it doesnt matter what MS says anyways its up to the creators personally WoW is overhyped rather see SWG on 360 than WoW
