Does anyone use the Chatpad?

[Jay588]

I think its pretty useful, because im lazy and it comes in handy when adding people or writing a message because im too lazy to find my headset. before you flame me and say im fat and all that..im not fat i just have a bad back so does anyone here even have the chatpad?

Na, I just turn around to my Mac and do all my messaging from Xbox.com. That way I can save money, and type faster.

i guess it would be more popular if 360 had a browser..im not sure if its worth the 30 bucks for what i use it for, which is adding gamertags, renaming cod classes etc..i dont really use it for the messenger. i basically bought it because my headset was broken and i figured it would cover both areas since it comes with the headset and chatpad

I just got one a few days ago I love it, I also text message more then I send voice messages, mainly because I have a wireless headset, so in order to send a quick 5 second message or w/e, I have to grab my headset, turn it on, record the short 5 second message(or up to 15 seconds, w/e) then turn it off again. Its hardly worth it. So always opt to text message instead. As soon as I get my e-mail address that is associated with my XBOX Live account changed to my MSN address, I will be using the chatpad a whole shit load to talk to friends on MSN.

I think its brilliant, and definately worth the money if you send a lot of text messages.

Also, wouldnt it just make sense for M$ to release an internet browser for the 360 now that they have this device out? Thats what I've always thought since it was first announced. An internet browser on the 360 is the final thing I want for it. Give us the internet browser, and the 360 will finally be complete.

Not everybody has the luxury of having a laptop, or having a computer right next to their 360, so for many of us, an internet browser on the console is extremely usefull.

yea, if your new to gaming, like who would of thought a microsoft console doesn't have an internet browser, when PS3, PSP, Wii and a FRIGGIN DS has one..its kind of expected. especially from the computer multicompany

I don't send a lot of text messages at all. By the way, who's bright idea was it to allow msn screennames to im you while you're playing? Who has time to stop and explain to someone that you're not on msn but actually xbl?

If MS released a browser for it then we would probably have to pay them for a antivirus subscription too. :/ Especially since it would probably be IE.

It says on your friends MSN accounts that your on XBOX Live, it even says the exact game that your playing. Its pretty cool.

Oh that is cool. I was wondering why everyone always believes me when I tell them I'm on xbl and still talking to them.

I still hate cocky bastards that say stuff like "Z0mG Pu7 D0WN 7H3 C0N7R0LL3R 4ND 74LK 70 M3!"
