360 Messenger Kit Coming Soon
You all remember this little thing don’t you? Plenty of the buzz during the Spring update revolved around this cool little thing and being able to text with friends on your console. Well the “Chatpad” finally gets priced and dated. It also appears to have undergone some plastic surgery since we last saw it.

The Xbox 360 Messenger Kit will be available on September 4, 2007 and will be priced at $29.99. It will come with the Chatpad and an Xbox 360 headset. For more details on the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit, click here.

That’s a buyer for me. I hate it when I am trying to communicate with a friend that is on their PC and I am on the 360 and I have to text. It’s a pain in the arse right now. The only bad thing is that I will now have 3 headsets. Oh well, I guess I will be covered if something goes wrong with my current headset. LOL!

Not a bad price…
July 10th, 2007 at 1:52 pm
Well I can afford that lol

i was hoping for $19.99 or $24.99.

If they took out the headset they could price it at $19.99. I don’t understand why they package everything Live oriented with a freaking headset. Even the web cam came with a headset.

well obviously those headsets are plentiful lol. which would lead me to believe inexpensive..so a $19.99 price isn’t that far fetched.

That is the ‘ideal’ price tag I was hoping for. Factoring in that you also get a headset for the price, it doesn’t seem too bad.

I’ll probrobly pick it up due to my current USB keyboard is not exactly comfortable for me (logitech mni usb keyboard).

$30, not bad at all.

this will help me type up some messages for sure.

I’m definitely buying it now, especially since its about 20$ cheaper than I originally though it was going to be. I really hated typing with the controller, even though I did get pretty good at it lol.

I had the thought that I could use this on my 360 combined with a WMC browser aplication and then my 360 could become a backup web browser. It’s worth a try.

yeah…i hope it comes in black. would be pretty stupid not to.

Although, I have to say that a black 360 with a white HD-DVD and a black 360 controller with a white battery has an interesting look to it. The white chatpad will just add to this interesting look.

Oh, sorry….and let’s not forget the white memory cards connected to the black 360 slots.
