Xbox Accessory: Text Input Device

Text input device for Phantasy Star Online.

Overview (TID1)

1. Text Input Device 1 is only an adapter that allows the user to plug in a USB keyboard into your Xbox controller.
2. This ONLY works for PSO; not in the dashboard and not with any other games.
3. Will only be available for purchase online.
4. The current methodology for distributing the product is through www.xbox.com only (The user will get there through a flyer enclosed in the PSO packaging, fill out form ONLINE and receive the unit through the mail/NO OTHER WAY)
5. The unit is FREE, except S&H of $6.95
6. Our on-line version of PSO SUPPORTS VOICE/research shows players in Japan LOVE voice communication in this game; it goes without saying that our North American IB already loves voice...

(there's a pic - silver with a blue plug that goes into the controller where the memory card goes... I can't see the side where the keyboard plugs in, and it looks like this TID1 might block the second hole for the memory card... not a biggie, but wanted to make that observation-SG2K)

This adapter will be available on-line only on 3/25, launch date of PSO.

Nice

I'll definitely order one, I mean the voice chat is obviously much easier/better, but I'll likely be playing this often late at night when people are sleeping, so this would come in really handy.

Good for them! Too bad we can't order the thing now and have it in time for the game.

I hope the voice masking isn't implemented though I expect it will be. I hope the fanboys stop flirting with the female characters (eg HUnewearl) now that they have a gruff man voice attached to them.

I'm going to be on almost every night after 11 pm eastern time, so I hope to see you a lot!

It is nice however seeing that this gives the official date for pso, no more speculation.

Not bad, if the X-Box hard drive does a good job at keeping hackers at bay, I might just give PSO another try again
