Windows Messenger Comes to Xbox Live

Microsoft announced yesterday the May launch of Windows Live Messenger on Xbox 360, allowing subscribers of the Xbox Live online service to connect with Windows-based PCs and Windows Mobile-powered devices.

Already, the six million strong Xbox Live community can voice- and video-chat with other players; the added messaging features will connect the Live community with 260 million active Windows Live Messenger accounts.

To use the service, Xbox Live members can text using a virtual keyboard accessible on Xbox 360, or through a new USB QWERTY keyboard that will connect directly into the controller.
