*£(*)%^!!!! er Medic!
Quick heads up! I’ve put up a rather rushed review of the new 360 Messenger Kit that I received this morning. A lot of people seem to be waiting for theirs right now so here’s the low down on what I think of it. Now where’s me band aid….
Great review thanks! Is it possible to use this new headset on a controller that hasn’t a keypad attached though?
Hi my headset is already broken
My kit came from gameplay yesterday. As I unpacked it I noticed that the wire that connects to the jack was already bent and white. Now my headset sound keeps going on and off so I am returning mine for a replacement.
They made two mistakes with this:
Firstly they put it in blister packaging - one of my pet hates. Like you I always have problems opening these things as they don’t bother puting weak spots in to make it easier.
Secondly it looks BLOODY AWFUL, PS3 and Wii owners are giggling at the 360 as lets face it both Nintendo and Sony will come up with something much more aesthetically pleasing and just as usable. A two year old designed that chunk of plastic and slapped it onto what was the best game controller of any console.
These things cannot be found anywhere here in Canada. I have been reading that there is a shortage of the kits. M$ have made a great little device, I love the styling on it and it complements the 360 controller perfectly. Can’t wait for more units to hit our stores
Seems better than I was expecting then. Though personally I don’t mind using Xbox.com to send messages (when I’m near my PC that is…)
Arr! Phil ya goit! You’re the first person to say it looks awful! Every other opinion is extremely positive, the thing looks lovely! I’d love to see how Sony get a keyboard on their PS2 er PS3 controller that has this kind of quality! Daco tart!
Technomonkey, I’ve been reading the comments on Xbox.com and despite Major Nelson saying that they haven’t been delayed, tbere has to be some sort of shortage. I’m sure they’ll be in stock soon.
I’ve no doubt it’s high quality! but it looks like crap! They could have improved the controller instead of just sticking on an extra part with keys on it….
Willing to bet there will be a 3rd party one out in a few months that makes it look like an under 5 year old has designed it..
Whinging tart! It looks great! Doubt anyone could make one to compete with it tbh. Oh and you can’t improve on what is considered the best controller in ages!
/me slaps and goes back to tfc…
TFC?!
