If Microsoft has its way, you'll never turn your Xbox 360 off -- ever.
In addition to TV and movie downloads, the ability to play classic games and, of course, HD video games, Microsoft has just announced Windows Live Messenger will be coming to the Xbox 360 console's Xbox Live on May 7.

You can attach a USB keyboard to the console, but once you go wireless, it's hard to deal with that unsightly wire.

Now, if the Xbox 360 made nachos, we'd be set!
