Microsoft's Messenger keyboard for the Xbox 360 has been given a price and launch date.

Announced back in April, Microsoft has said the new accessory which bolts on your Xbox 360 controller will cost $29.99 in the US and be available in the US from the beginning of September.

The new Chatpad Messenger Kit for the Xbox 360 will also include a separate headset.

To tie in with the 360’s functionality, Live Messenger users will be able to see if any of their contacts have Xbox Live gamertags.
