New Xbox 360 experience could have web browser! Flame On
   September 29th, 2008 clock image 1:45 pm

xbox-360-browes

Internet Explorer on Xbox 360? It could happen, there might be proof, it could be right in front of us. During the new welcome video that Microsoft have on the Xbox website, a quarter of the way when they scroll through the new sections, there is a section called browse. It cuts to the next shot before we have a chance to see what loads in the box below so we never get to see if it’s anything special.

Wild speculation, maybe. It’s not conclusive proof, but there is a chance. Personally I’m not so sure I want a browser on my 360, I really don’t want to sit on my couch and browse the net and even then its a lot easier with a mouse and keyboard. Also, with the closed nature of Xbox Live I highly doubt it will happen as this could open Xbox 360 users up to viruses and all other nasty things associated with the Internet. In the end I guess we will just have to wait and see, what do you think?

    A browser would be great.sometimes unpacking a laptop is too much effort :wink:

    Exactly, and MCEBrowser is a bit quirky.

    What’s to note is that they show it twice, which seemed a bit odd.

  • gazza

    and both times nothing loads beneath it as with the others

  • http://www.n4g.com evilabsolute

    sorry to burts your bubble but thats the downloads page so its saying browse you you can look at all of the content in one window rather than breaking it into catagories like, Xbox originals etc. God this website need to get some news, this is really sad – it aint a story just someone commenting on something they REALLY dont know about :grin:

  • chris

    the browse feature is simply for marketplace and your library. they wanted to make it easier to find items. no browser

  • Rade

    Dude… you’re a jackass! It doesn’t say web browser on it. LoL… if it is a web browser I’ll come back here and praise you but until then, kiss my ass!

  • dude

    thats not the internet explorer you ****head! thats the marketplace content browser! …can you F***ing read?!!?! what does it say above “Browser? huh?!? those catagories relate to the marketplace! damnit! well… its a good thing i wasnt anticipating this anyway. And you…get some real news…

  • http://videogameplayerz.net NedVGP

    Yeah, like the Xbox 360 doesn’t suffer enough meltdowns on its own, lets stuff Internet Explorer in for good measure.

    Agree with everybody else, content browser.

    Relax dude.

    It dosnt even say browse, it says “Browse”. I dont think retards should make post.

    Browser* sorry.

  • http://www.lazygamer.co.za LazySAGamer

    I would have to say that this rumour is more about the browser coming in the NXE than that exact link being for Internet Browsing…

    But I have made it quite clear before that I really really don’t want an Internet browser on the Xbox 360 and personally cannot see it happening anytime soon.

    But I do have a knack for being wrong ;)

    i dont think a browser is of much use, just look at the ps3 one

  • mitch

    right, i think everyone will agree, that if they did put an internet like browse option for people who want to use it, but then people who don’t want it just simply don’t download it, xbox shouldd put it on the market place thing and get people to download it. Like the wii, you only downloaded it if you wanted it, or unless you just wanted more content. But exactly what everyone wants. So i think everyone would agree that internet explorer or something similar for the xbox would be great. Thats like one of the reasons people choose ps3 over xbox. I’ve experianced both, and i think that ps3 is better because of that and the fact of the better music options and stuff, like the psp menu. But maybe after that big update we had, xbox are thinking about it. I mean, since its made by microsoft i would of thought they would have internet on it for Christs sake.

  • MS SUCKS

    I totally agree with you on that my friend :mrgreen:

  • http://www.lazygamer.co.za LazySAGamer

    Personally I think a web browser on a console is a bad idea, it’s not about the choice of whether or not someone wants it either. It’s about allowing unsecured code onto the closed network that is Xbox Live.

    If I have a browser I can download a virus onto the 360… which then MAY get onto the network

  • Joe

    Calm down, idiot. Another internet tough guy, so tough sitting behind your keyboard and mouse, beating off to videogame chicks and probably voting for Obama. Take a chill pill and try not to be so vulgar and stupid.

    could XBox 360 get a web browser?

  • browser

    Xbox 360 gonna do browser or die soon. wii have one, ps3 as well. I would love to have my xbox browsing and msn video conference with friends using his computer. Ofcourse will be so useful for all, i bet all the guys who have different thaught will love with xbox browing. Seriously did not understand what they trying to prove by opposing the idea.

  • o0slowtodd0o

    The most of you are retarded. Microsoft would and IS going to make a killing off the browser. As for those of you whom think that viruses will corrupt your xbox, get over it! If its going to happen, its going to happen! On that note xbox live has its own set of code. Microsoft will just own yet another browser. Assuming they do not create there own form of the ‘internet’. Its just too big of a money opportunity for them to pass.

  • tomboy64ever

    i noticed that too :L :biggrin: i dont know why ppl dont want browser on xbox i think it would be great think bbc i player and porn and if you need a cheat or somthing or quickly see how much some thing is all from your bedroom or where ever would be great! :biggrin: :smile:

  • bob

    You say you don’t want a browser on YOUR xbox, fine I have no problem with that
    Its your box do as you please

    as to those complaining about viruses as the reason not to give us a browser
    your talking out your ass, it would depend on much more than just being able to
    browse the net
    just because you have a browser dosnt mean you have to allow cookies, active x, java
    or any of the other vectors… if you just have to be a real dip about it, give us a portal/proxy to surf thru
    the time to worry about that kind of thing is when they want to sell developer classes, then all bets are off

    As a short time user I would suggest the interface needs some tweaking
    When streaming stuff from my pc it should be easy to pause the game and change the play list
    Real weak if you ask me, having to close things out to make a quick change some
    were else seems a bit DOS ish to me…

  • well

    Dude Shut Up.
    It’s Not Bad….
