Havent heard a lot about MS releasing a browser like the WII and Ps3 has. Are we going to get one? I mean id still use my pc as my main net machine but , it would be kind of cool to be able to check somthing on the net real quick from my 360 and jump back into a game with ease.

Bottom line..there has been no word on this and probably never will be. And that's a perfectly good thing in my books..

They should. I'd be totally content with using IE. It'd definately be nice.

It may not be nessessary but considering how Microsoft made IE, you'd think they just put it in there

If you have Windows Media Center 2005 on your pc you could use a web browser on your XBOX 360.

Yea, you'd think since they are trying to make Xbox Live so huge, and they made IE, we'd have it.

Yeh i wouldn't mind an Internet browser, i would hardly ever use it, but why not have it? It would be useful if you just wanted to check something quickly and didn't want to have to go and turn the computer on to look at one small thing. Why not have it?

I can categorically state that i will never browse the net through my 360. I have no intention of purchasing a mouse, keyboard or adapters so i can use my p.c ones. I only really use my consoles for games, not browsing, or movies....

Microsoft has LOT more experience then Nintendo does at all things internet related. I'm sure they could do a great job.

The Wii has a web browser, why not the the 360.

The Wii web browser online recieves one compalint from me, and thats the lack of a keyboard.

With my xbox 360, I always have a keyboard plugged into one of the front USB ports, it makes it a lot less painful to send long text messages over xbox live.

To my knowledge there is no way to use a keyboard with the Wii, if someone knows a way to not hesitate to correct me.

I fail to see the point for it.  It may seem like a cool feature, but would it really be used by the majority.  Why spend the space on it if most are never going to use it.  I would rather the development money go to Xbox Live improvements than a browser that most would ignore anyways.

I agree with this because there should be no development efforts spent on something that is available today- Media Center does this now. Most people have no idea what their 360 can do right now. Having Microsoft behind this system leverages so many options. I guess Sony and Nintendo's only angle is that you don't need a PC to surf the web. However, I have a feeling that this target audience represents little in the way of any real revenue.

Except neither my mouse or my keyboard are usb connections. Which is why i stated i'd need to buy a new mouse a new keyboard or some adaptors........r tard.
