Microsoft has also set up a Game Voice specific web where you can get much of the advanced information on the product I covered in this review. They currently have information on beta software that should improve the Game Voice function and reduce the slow-downs. Right now no additional profiles are posted but in time they may be added to the site. Overall Rating - The Game Voice is a pretty good solution for internet chat. The ability to perform this function while running games is a great option in theory but requires a high end system and lightning fast connection for optimal performance.
Setup requires plenty of trial and error to find just the right mix of quality and function.
Voice recognition is also a time consuming trial and error experiment. The control pad is nice but its function could have been easily mapped to the keyboard already sitting on your desk. The Control Center recommends the Microsoft Game Voice but with the notice that setup can be tricky to downright difficult, time will need to be invested in learning the optimal setup for chat, and more time will be invested in training yourself to perfect offering voice command to it. Pros- Eliminates the need to memorize keyboard commands. Good voice recognition.
