Eh idunno, i was holding a controler earlier and my thumbs could reach right across into the middle area, so you could pretty much type with your thumbs, might take a bit of getting used to but i think i could type just as fast on that as i do on a normal sized keyboard.

I want one, Its an awesome idea. But like Waffles said, It will be tricky to type on it

Typing on that is like typing on a cellphone, only that it's like a million times more complex.

No because the letter buttons aren't much smaller than the d pad on the controller. So it's actually much easier to type with that thing than on a Cellphone.

Because:
1. All the letters are seperate
2. The buttons are bigger

Microsoft has decided to come out with something to counter the Wii-mote gun plastic thingy.

This...device on the 360 gives us another reason to buy one. Good job Microsoft. I WANT A 360 ELTIE PLZPLZPLZPZLPZL.

ummh, the keyboard seems to be an addition to regular controller. you just stick it to that thing where you would stick headphones, and ta-dah.

that looks awesome.

Yeah, what slimpu says it just fits right in there.

I'll be getting one the first day there out in the UK, can't judge how well it will be able to type till then - either way it will be a huge improvement from the on screen keyboard it has right now.

And with my brand new 27 inch widescreen tv that i just got, it's going to be awesome.

edit:

YAY FOR GAMESPOT:

You can plug a USB keyboard into it, i'll do that instead, lol.

So you have plasma, LCD, or just plain old-fashioned tube?

Back on topic: I can't believe there's so much hype over this...The PS3 had support for a USB keyboard from the beginning. Perhaps it's because of ability to use MSN Instant Messenger? But what's the use? There's already voice support with the headphones...

Have you heard the PS3 voice to voice? It's crap quality compared. XD ANd you can only talk to other PS3 owners, there so rare it's pointless.

This allows me to sit in my room, playing my games and be able to hang out with friends on Live and the PC, that's something never been done before. It's hyped cause it's so freaking convenient that it's all in one like that.

Obviously if someones had a PC + there console next to each other all this time it wont affect them but those of us that don't, it's a very good thing.

Oh and it's just a normal wide screen tv, it was completly free so i'm reallllly not to fussed, 27 inc is freaking great for the price tag. ;$

Not to mention that everyone is ranting that the PS3 internet support sucks TERRIBLY. The Wii is also bad, but not that bad. Most 360 buyers got it for multiplayer, aye?
