nice, just picked one up,
the $10 off is just enough for me to justify the impulse buy, lousy amazon and their tax though...

i'd like to say to everyone thinking about buying this:

if you are a semi-fast typer with your thumbs (a cell phone, for example) this thing is not for you.

going anywhere near 4-6 letters a second caused my messenger kit to not send every other letter to the 360.

other than that, it adds a little weight to the controller (which i like) and fits very snugly with the controller also.

for 20 bucks, I picked up one too with 2 day shipping and it was still less than the original cost.

@mlapaglia

That's me with my Sprint Mogul. I guess I can learn how to type slower since it's still faster than using just the control itself to go around the virtual keyboard. tongue.gif

If Amazon.com shipped this to the UK, it would be great. Seeing as they won't, it's no good to us anyway!

they only ship some items outside of the US.
Not this chatpad as it says 'Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S. and to APO/FPO addresses."

Does anybody know if other places like Target are going to be dropping the price so I don't have to pay shipping?

When I went to purchase it, the message stating "We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination" was a big hint....

I must admit, I missed the shipping information under product details as XanTium rightly pointed out.
