@ About @ This messenger kit comes only in white and one thing to note: It will drain your battery faster than just using a regular headset on its own. The keypad lights up every time you hit one of the keys, and just leaving it to sit in the controller will also drain the battery since the controller is having to keep the keypad live ready to use. There is no on or off switch it will just run. To plug the headset in you will need the one they give you and if it goes wrong or you loose it, you will never be able to plug in another headset without buying another messenger kit. Microsoft have cleverly done this by removing the two prong connectors at ...  Read the complete review

I've had my Xbox for nearly 3 years now, back in the day not many of my friends had the console, and I didn't have Xbox Live to begin with, I just had a couple of games I'd sit and play on my own. As more and more of my friends got Xbox consoles, and I finally got onto Xbox Live I found myself sending loads of messages to my friends, and fellow players online. It would take a fair while to do so using the on screen keyboard and I'd find myself losing concentration in games as it would take so long for me to message people back when they replied. So when I was shopping in Morrisons one day after work I noticed this cracking bit of kit in the games and DVD's aisle, I ...  Read the complete review

The Xbox 360 Messenger kit is a godsend for those people who want more chat in their gaming experience, in essence it's a keyboard and headset which you attach to the Xbox and play your games. I bought one as my nieces are now old enough to play games and I wanted to ensure I had time with them, doing something fun together and allowing us to chat and catch up whilst still playing games. It seemed a fun (if not slightly impractical ideas), but much better than simply skyping. I have to admit I did also buy it to use with Fifa 11 to badmouth friends during matches and wind them up, so it wasn't solely for good purposes!!!! Being honest, I use ...  Read the complete review

My partner has been looking to buy this forever. So I finally gave in and bought it for him on the weekend. I bought it in Game for £24.99 but they also had it on offer, if you buy anything in Game you get the Messenger Kit for £19.99. Included in the pack is the small keyboard and a wired headset. The keyboard clips onto the bottom of your Xbox 360 controller. Once plugged into the controller the keys on it light up! (Funnily enough this was the part that made him happiest!) The good thing about this product is no batteries or charging required as it get's it's power from the controller. It also has a Windows messenger button. It lets you sign ...  Read the complete review
