Text input from the XBox 360 controller

This Text Input Device (TID) was recently, or, will be soon announced...it attaches to the 360 controller (where your headset attaches). Not sure about all the details of how it works with games, the headset, etc.
But with MSN Live Messenger integration and IPTV

it will apparently make things much easier and allow you to spend more money as well...

You can also just plug in a USB keyboard to the 360.

I like that it is backlit.  Perfect for all those young texters out there.  I will pass, but it should sell well.  I guess I am admitting that I am not young.

This will also ship with a new headset - if it is better than the one that came with the 360, I may get it just for that.
