Let's face it: part of the fun of Xbox 360 Live is showing off to your opponents when you've blown them to smithereens or sent their racecar careening into a wall. GameDR Smack Talk from Digital Innovations lets you express yourself in a completely new way by interjecting the audio clips of your choice into your gameplay on command. Press the appropriate button, and your favorite movie one-liner ("Go ahead, make my day"), music clip ("We Are the Champions"), bodily function sound (think whoopee cushion), or any other five-second insult or sound effect plays in-game as well as through your headset.
This cookie-sized gaming accessory plugs into the headset jack at the bottom of the Xbox 360 controller and has its own headset jack to permit gameplay to proceed with the usual verbal interaction. It comes with five pre-set sounds ranging from an evil laugh to crowd applause, each with its own button, plus the option to replace those clips with custom sound bites that will distract your enemies, amuse your friends and otherwise spice up the gameplay.
If you're recording your own voice, simply don the Xbox headset, hit the "Record" button on the Smack Talk device, and say your piece through the headset mic while you're pressing one of the Smack Talk play buttons. If you're downloading MP3 sound clips, just plug the 1/8" stereo patch cord that comes with the unit into your Apple iPod, other MP3 player, DVD player or PC for line-in recording.
The Smack Talk can accommodate five audio clips of up to five seconds in length. All sounds are stored on the device's Flash memory and saved even if a battery change is needed.
The GameDR Smack Talk runs on three AAA batteries (not included)
