I'm not talking about using a web messenger on your Xbox, I'm talking about full integration between Windows Live Messenger and Microsoft's hit second generation gaming console.
I've stumped upon a leaked video showing various new features for Xbox Live. It looks like full integration for Windows Live Messenger is coming. Features include:
- Add up to 600 Windows Live Messenger contacts to your Xbox Live's Friends List.
- Basic text chat functionality with Windows Live Messenger users. Audio and video might be in the works.
- You'll be able to chat with up to 6 friends online while playing games or watching movies.
- Your Windows Live Messenger contacts will know which games you are playing, as well as your gamertag.
- You'll see your Friends status, whether they are playing a game or Online on Windows Live Messenger.

However, I'm a little annoyed. Microsoft really need to expand their target audience here. Sure this is all great if you only use Microsoft products, but what about Skype or Yahoo! Messenger users owning a Xbox 360, you have left them out. Start expanding the market guys, you need to realise that making features for other clients is the future. Integration between other companies is key.
