It’s not really a new product, but the Xbox 360 Messenger Kit may be a good deal for console gamers who miss the easy text input capabilities of the PC. Basically it’s a bundle of the chatpad that plugs into any official Xbox controller, plus the wired Xbox 360 headset. The kit retails for $30 on the Xbox website, but as always there are discounts available from other retailers. More data and another pic for those who continue reading.

Here’s some info to help make up your mind:

Perhaps a great post-holiday gift for yourself or for someone who slipped your mind, no?
