Joystiq tipster GunForHire might have to live up to his handle after we tell you about Digital Innovation's SmackTalk, a device that attaches itself to a Xbox 360 controller and plays five prerecorded clips of the player's choosing at the touch of a button across Xbox Live. Obviously the name of the device gives you clear direction as to what it should be used for -- let the prerecorded sexism, racism and homophobia flow like the Nile without straining those precious vocal cords.British site BXB points out that they "remember the good old days when everyone was actually kind of polite on Xbox Live, even the Americans." We don't know what land of delusion these boys came from, but Xbox Live has always been a cesspool. Now players have the ability to record any five sounds of filth and play them back at the touch of a button. Random clips of pornography, babies crying, torture and anything else that could conceivably be more annoying than the prepubescent voices already rampant in the Xbox Live system.
GunForHire says, "Please Joystiq, rally your readers to email the Digital Innovations customer support team to try and get them to kill this thing before it gets released, for the sake of us all..."
Sorry Gun, it's out there and if you've been hearing the same five phrases from a player on Xbox Live over and over again, then you've probably already experienced the joys of SmackTalk.
