So apparently the 360 is getting a tiny keyboard that plugs into the bottom of the controller.
WHYYYYYY?!
Now USB support for occasional use in like an MMO or quick typing info for signing up I can see, but this is apparently for online chatting.
Major problem here, it's WORSE than what the system is already capable of. It COMES WITH A HEADSET, and you can talk with people all you want via live with an actual VOICE (though for some reason, very annoyingly, they took out the voice filter, I mean sheesh all they needed to do was get rid of the robot voice). Why would anyone willingly use a keyboard instead of talk? I mean, aside from that mute kid over there?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
