Microsoft to add IM to XBOX 360 :)

INSTANT MESSAGING facilities will be added to the Xbox 360 from May 7th, Microsoft announced today.

Microsoft will provide the Xbox 360 spring update access to Windows Live Messenger with people able to console themselves by chatting to up to six buddies at once while playing games or watching movies.

The software will allow people to use existing relationships on Windows Live Messenger. The chat function will work by using either the Xbox 360’s virtual keyboard or a USB keyboard connected to the console. The virtual keyboard is another thing many Xbox enthusiasts would be eagerly waiting for. Here we have its picture which was released by Microsoft on their Xbox site
