won't this make it easier to cheat in ranked matches such as gears of war? i hope they implement some type of block during ranked matches.

Yeah I agree with J Kelly.

I really like the art work. I don't understand the negative reaction.

I'll most likely pick up the Spartan one. I like the composition a little better.

Anyone know if this chatpad can be used to enter names of game saves, or other non-chat use?

I would guess that it does, but I'd like to know for sure. Thanks.

The Chatpad is really sweet but I just don't think I'd use it that often.

I'm just not willing to spend $60 on a controller, special art or not.

I wish the green Halo 3 controller was being released by itself. Does anyone know if it is?

@10, call me stupid, but I'm not sure what you mean?
how would the chatpad help them cheat?

Yea private chat would be easier than messages.

I'd prefer if they sold the controllers that come w/ the Halo Edition 360 (just olive green). That's why I want the headset but not so much the controllers.

I agree with Tony, $60 is double the price of a normal controller, and was ready to buy the halo 3 wireless headset until I found it it is also a RIPOFF at 60 dollars. come on man that is horrible pricing.... they are milking halo 3 franchise for all it's worth and it makes them look like money grubbing sell outs

I'll be getting one of the two Halo controllers for sure. I need a second one and honestly, I like the idea of the slick, smooth plastic sheen instead of the textured matte on the standard wireless controller.

Plus, the artwork kinda reminds me of those van murals people used to paint on the side of old rustbuckets..that has to count for something!

I hope the chatpad is a hint that they plan on adding web-browser to the system...

Mauricio,

I think you can use the Chatpad for all text entry on the Xbox, so yeah.

Not positive, but I'm pretty sure you can.

I was gonna get the chat pad, but the other day for sh!ts and giggles i plugged in my wireless usb keyboard, and to my surprise it worked perfectly! the windows button even acts like the guide button... Therefore no need for the chat pad kthxbye

Chatpad and headset for 30 bucks!? I hate using a seperate keyboard, and the chatpad just makes sense. If someone started a conversation, I can plug in the chatpad and go. Sounds like a steal...

while the artwork isn't very good, it is technically STELLAR artwork... just saying.

Just as a side note for Richard to take note: adding a Chatpad to a standard white 360 controller sort of hearkens back to the Atari Jaguar configuration of oddness, if ya think about it..

Don't forget that you should be able to use this anywhere that stupid virtual keyboard pops up. What a boon for us when we need to type in an MS live code.

@ 23 Magic Whiskey

Damn, thanks for the flashback. I played the hell out of some Doom on my old Jaguar. I never even noticed the similarities between the Jag controller and the 360 with the chatpad. Thank god the 360 controller is a little more ergonomic.
