Gamespot recently got their hands on the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit, and gives us their first impressions:
…snaps on with a satisfying click…The keys provide adequate, clicky feedback and are spaced well enough for fast typing…the pad also has a messenger button that can open up the messaging window onscreen…It doesn’t work with PC users with USB controller (yet at least)…solid product…

Microsoft has just announced the availability and price for its upcoming Chatpad accessory. At $29.99, the two-piece Xbox 360 Messenger Kit will include the Chatpad and a headset, with a September 4th launch. For those who missed the video, check it out after the jump.
The two-piece bundle will run users a modest $29.99, which isn’t appalling, but it is a tad unfair that a standalone unit (apparently) won’t be offered at a lower price point for those who wish to sidestep the headset
