I'd rather have Firefox. They won't ever have a web browser since they haven't had one yet. If they wanted to put one in they would have done it already is a past update ages ago.

You know whats awesome? THATS WHAT A COMPUTER IS FOR!

Honestly, what the hell is it with people and wanting browsers on their consoles? I'd rather sit here at my Mac Book Pro, or Dell laptop and browse the internet with all plugins working being able to view everything instead of sitting at my console typing stuff in with a controller, waiting for pages to load and hoping that flash works let alone everything else. Seriously, BROWSERS ON CONSOLES = POINTLESS

Actually they're bloody handy. You can use Firefox on the PS3 which is handy.

That would be awesome if they added it to the 360 and it was actually more than just a gimmick where you just try it once and goto youtube and watch a video and say "yep, it works" and thats it. Id like them to make one that actually works without crashing and one that has flash support, that would be cool, and totally unnecessary.

With browsers you can fix connection issues, download user content, get themes and icons, and of course get things like music, video and much more.

That right there to me is the reason why M$ won't put up a browser. You could get all the stuff they charge you for on marketplace for free on other websites.

I think it will be safer to just browse using the PC. There's a lot of sneaky, crappy stuff on the web and you'll never know what will happen on your 360 if someones discovers a way to distribute viruses via console browser...

Just an opinion, though.

The Wii, the PS3, and even the PSP. Doesn't matter how fast they are or how good the point is the 360 is the only thing these days without it. And come one seriously if the PSP can have one the Microsoft Xbox 360 should have some form of Internet Explorer.

I guess if your a young adolescent that wants to surf porn in the saefty of his own room w/o worry, then Internet access would seem like an excellent idea for the 360.

Well let me informed you that it does work well on systems, at least on mine. Not like a computer but it does the job. But here's why a browser would be a good idea. In my case when i get home from work i usually want to check the sports scores and read some news about technology and videogames. In fact i visit this website almost daily using my browser from my ps3 and i'm writing this as well. not with a controller cause that would take forever but with a wireless keyboard. Now i dont have to turn on my computer i can just browse and go straight to gaming after that. Yeah you may not be able to do everything but you can check your email, watch youtube's videos, post here and get themes etc. The only time i turn my laptop now is when i gotta pay bills. But seriously it wont hurt for you guys to have a browser. Heck i dont even own a 360 anymore and i still think it would be a good idea.

Dude, u forgot something, EVEN A DS can use an internet browser. a freaking DS man. also i think we should send emial to M$, to consider this, and it even raise 360 sale and win the console war.

Since Microsoft makes IE, I think it would be very easy for them to program it to work with the 360. I'd be willing to buy it off of Marketplace if it ever comes out.

It'd be a somewhat nice feature but I can not see myself using it much. I can not see anyone using it much.


Anyone who has an internet connection probably has a computer, Microsoft realizes this, so I doubt they'd put the effort.


That said.. I wouldn't exactly complain about it.

sounds like marketplace...

And no, I'd never want the 360 getting IE. That's what a computer is for. To listen to music, internet, andIM. And of course Word for the occasional essay for school.

This seems to be a common opinion.. Out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want the 360 to have IE? Just because 'that's what a computer before' does not mean it would hurt for the 360 to have it?

I'm not saying it's needed, but I don't get why people would actively not want it. IE on an large TV could be entertaining, and opens up technical things that could be done, such as made for 360 websites which would allow you to interact. For example, a flash-games type website, made for people to play games on, but with the 360.

If they added one it would be nice if you could access it from in game and just pull it up through the guide button. But thats wishful thinking.
