Not with Kodu. I have looked, and looked (and looked!)... no socket API *at
all*. Bummer. I am not sure if you can use a .DLL to provide this
functionality, it may be worth a dig.

All is not lost tho, if you are intent on network coding, XNA game developers
lab from Microsoft is free (it's basically Visual Studio with a ton of shit to
make it a game development environment), and compiles for Windows and XBox360.
You can also, for a fee, publish into the XBox marketplace.

As for keyboard interface--that would work. There are little keyboards you
stick into the bottom of your XBox360 controller (for MSN, etc)... I've seen
them for œ20ish, I think.

Regs,
