My friend and I were fighting about which console was better, PS3 or XBOX360. While we were, he pointed out that the XBOX360 was the only next/current gen console that doesn't have an internet browser. But, I mean, do you really care?

Personally it doesn't matter to me, I didn't really care for the PlanetWeb Browser on the Dreamcast or the one on PSP

My son likes useing the IB on the Wii...Mostly due to the fact both me and my wife are on the computers..So I would say yes

There really is no reason why the 360 does not have a IB

It' always a bonus I guess, I mean i wouldn't complain if they added one to the 360 but I wouldn't care if they didn't.

I know nothing about the PS3 browser but the Wii browser is quite functional because of the Wiimote. I use it reguarly when I'm to lasy to walk over to my computer.

Not at all really. As can be seen, my internet browsing is already taken care of. If it were on there, I don't think I'd do anything more than log on once to say "cool, it has a browser", and then I'd never use it again.

The Wii browser is actually pretty well designed but with my present setup I can't imagine a situation where I would use it over the computer.

I think the reason lemmings don't complain about not having an internet browser is because they don't have wireless. This means their 360 is almost certainly going to have to be next to a PC. The fact that I have wireless on my PS3 allows me to play in a much more desirable location away from my computer, and yet still have internet access at my fingertips.

Well, I've only used the Wii once when all my friends were on the computer, but thats pretty much it. The Wii one is actually pretty good.

I use it on the PS3 sometimes, but its like having MSN on the 360, something you can do on your PC much easiar.

Well since Microsoft does develop IE, I dont see why they just bring it on to the console as it cant have any negative effects. Also it may sell some of those chatpads for them. Hell the already got messenger on there.

Of course not. Who really has that as a factor when buying a console? In my opinion, if you're even paying a penny more for having it, it's a bad deal. I care more about Bill Gate's money situation than internet on a console. Honestly why spend money to build a much, much worse inferior version of something that works better, looks better, more intuitive and overall thousand times better on something everyone who buys a console has? I honestly don't understand it.

*cough*Misconception*cough*

To answer the question not too much. I primarily buy a console to play games, an IB is just a nice addon.

You should emphasise the word EASE.

Are you kidding? Without a web browser open at all times I feel like I am slowly suffocating in a box and mommy PLEASE let me out and I'll be a good boy this time I promise...

Uh yeah, but uh, no, I don't really care. Really. I'm serious.

To be honest it makes little difference but I needed a cheat code and it was alot easier to just use the web browser in the console to check online. Its like the clock on my toaster its a nice thing to have but not deadly essential.

But imagine it having the flash compatibility of the PSP browser, meaning no YouTube videos?
