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 on it.

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

[MrGTI]

I like it.

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

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.
