Messenger Kit Chatpad and Headset (Xbox 360) Morrisons £19.99 INSTORE ONLY

That's Amazon US. Would you not get potentially hit for charges?
How much would shipping be?

In fact, they won't ship to UK......

Good price. Got conned on eBay with a "XBOX MESSENGER KIT" which in turn ended up to be a floppy USB keyboard. Never again.

Great piece of kit can chat to your mates on msn messanger also makes it much easier to send texts over live.

I was going to get one of these before I realised that you can use a USB keyboard for exactly the same thing.

So I just plugged an old spare one in. Tempted to get a small (laptop style) wireless one to replace it.

Got one of these back in April on game.co.uk for £15 when bought with any other item so I also bought a dvd wrap costing £1. Think that offer has ended though,

Are these actually useful for £20

I think so - the advantage of this over a USB keyboard is that you don't need to put the controller down to switch between them nor do you need to switch application. If you're playing a game you can just hit the MSN button which pops up a little text window, type in your text then get back to your game. With the keyboard as far as I'm aware you have to open your Guide and go to the chat window then close it all to return to the game which is quite clumsy as well as needing to switch between the controller and the keyboard. I wrote my thoughts up here:

Unfortunately due to the new forum format the pictures don't show but they are still available.

Not that amazing a price though, I paid 20 quid for mine when it was released and it's still that price online:

It depends, a USB keyboard will do the same job.
Its useful if you type messages often and need it attached to your controller I guess.

its great if you dont want a keyboard lying around - it just snaps onto the bottom of the controller & you dont even notice it after a while

& its very easy to type fast with the keys as they are nice & close together

its a great little accessory - cant message without it anymore - the onscreen keyboard just cant cut it.
