As part of its latest enhancement to the Xbox 360, Microsoft announced Monday it is bringing Windows Live Messenger instant messaging features to Xbox Live, letting gamers text chat with more than 200 million Windows Live Messenger users. The new IM feature, which will be delivered in a firmware update scheduled for May 7, will let Xbox Live members associate their Live “gamertag” identity with Windows Live Messenger to enable a more connected experience among other gamers, not to mention another form of contact with the outside world.
