Microsoft Live Messenger on Xbox 360
Posted on Apr 9, 07 01:02 AM PDT
Microsoft aims to bring together both PC and Xbox 360 gamers by announcing compatibility of its Windows Live Messenger program for Xbox Live users. This means gamers will be able to chat with their PC counterparts via the console, and this is made more convenient with a QWERTY text-input device that connects directly to the Xbox 360 controller. This new accessory will be made available to the masses in the U.S. this summer and a yet undisclosed price. Image courtesy of Gizmodo. Hopefully the buttons on this keyboard are as easy to press and use like those found on the Treo line of smartphones.

this thing is a piece of junk. its not compatable with any games cause microsoft is too lazy to make it act like a usb keyboard. They would sell 90% more of them if it was compatable with Phantasy star universe and FFXI. But again microsoft is too stupid to realize this!!

This is pretty stupid. They need a way to change the accounts from child to adult. It should do it automatically, though, because you are supposed to enter your date of birth. They need to fix this quickly!!!

By jim , 03/09/07 5:00 AM (CommentID #289759)
yep this is really frustrating. Called them and asked if there was any way I could change it - no
asked if there was any way to modify the account dreated date - no
asked if I could port my gamerscore & payment options over to another account - no
sorry guys we're outta luck, although she did say that they are working on a fix for the child/adult account problems :-)
Hurry up microsoft. Get you're act together
