Xbox 360 to get MSN

[Ultimafanatic]

"The biggest change in the cards for the Spring Update is the addition of Windows Live Messenger functionality. In addition to letting Messenger users on the PC chat with their 360-having friends, the update will also let Xbox 360 owners see if any of their Messenger contacts have Xbox Live Gamertags. Messenger contacts will be kept in a list separate from Xbox Live friends, and Xbox 360 users will be able to chat with six Messenger contacts at any given time.

Xbox 360 gamers who quickly grow tired of navigating the on-screen virtual keyboard to type messages can either plug a USB keyboard into the system, or wait for Microsoft to release its new Xbox 360 keyboard controller attachment this summer."

Looks sweet, I know its a lot to read, but you get the idea.

They're kinda turning next-gen consoles into high-tech PC's now

[Ultimafanatic]

Aye, but I doubt theyre gonna say "Lol we got word and shizz". Still, I thought exactly the same thing.

It'll be convinient for a lot of people though.

[Kanenite]

Yeah, I guess.

I remember the time I was like "lOl, let's put NOW! 33 in the PS1 and see what happens !" and I was amazed it played it. Now, every console plays CD's, DVD's, makes fuckin' toast and becomes a sunbed at the touch of a button.

Very true, consoles are just getting more and more things each time they're updated. It's madness.

The ps3 can also run a thing which is like explorer and get exactly like a pc, but it messes with your main system thing. But it's easy to do.
