X360 web browser?


Recommended Posts

Well the Wii browser is opera powered and when the finale version is released i am would assume it will look a bit better and have more functions. but i think microosft is just sitting and waiting to see how wide spread the use of the Wii/PS3 online browser is used you know. i think what really shock people is if Microsoft decided to take Windows vista ultimate and Allow people to run it on the Xbox 360 i wonder just wonder how well it run on the 360.

Rumor: Microsoft still thinks 640k is enough Ram for the Entire world.

ooo ... so wheres the bashing here for pinching idea from sony and nintendo ?

Wait.. What the heck are you talking about? Sony and Nintendo didn't come up with the idea of a web browser in a console. SEGA did.

And for web browser on the tv? That's been around even longer. Don't make arguments by denouncing overly biased 360 owners with your own overly biased illogical nonsense.

Ah that it's.. This came even before the Dreamcast (and it's web browser), the older version anyway.

oh ok, so which sega console from this generation is that which is directly competing with ps3 and 360 ?

im talking about stealing the idea this late in THIS GENERATION you tool. qft.

illogical nonsense?, i think you people wanting a browser on 360 is illogical nonsense. prove me wrong why you 360 owners want a web browser now that ps3 and wii consoles come with them... ? irony isn't it ?..

biased so i have my right to.

oh ps3 copied wii motion sensor

oh ps3 copied XBL

Why would it matter that SEGA isn't in this generation of consoles? They were still the first to implement it, or at least got the idea there.

I'm having trouble following what you wanted proved in your second statement. Since the PS3 and Wii have a browser, many would like Microsoft to follow suit. You think it's ironic that 360 users want a browser? You know this isn't a new idea, people were questioning this before the PS3/Wii announced they were including a browser.

Then your last run of the PS3 copying other technologies/services; what's your point? Those are both things that were unique to that system thus making them first (unless you count the sidewinder for PC controller), unlike the browser situation here. So ultimately you could say all three are copying SEGA.

XBL and motion sensing game controllers aren't by any means new, either. Not that I think it's a bad thing that the PS3 has similar functions to what XBL provides. It actually makes the PS3 more attractive to me.

You know what guys... hes right... XBox owners are very different than those PS3 and Wii owners, we have no use for a browser, as a matter of fact screw updates that add features simply because its a nice thing to have. As Xbox owners we need to unite and beg microsoft to give us updates that improve nothing and just add wallpapers!

The truth is I can't sleep at night beside my Macbook thinking about how the PS3 and Wii have web browsers and my 360 doesn't... "us people" just want what Microsoft has never done in any of their products before, have a web browser :( and Sony did.. so we are jealous :rolleyes: I guess we have to live with being tools that steal ideas.

I don't know.

Where's the person who came in to start nothing more than a flame war?......................there you are!!!

If Microsoft adds an internet browser to the 360 I think they'd be doing it simply because there was a demand for it. Not because the Wii and PS3 both have one.

If they do add one, I don't think it'll be IE7, they might take the mini-IE off of Windows Mobile and use that, since it's light and does the job.

always one...

i dont understand why sony fans come into this section to start a flame war... i mean this thread was started asking if it was planned or not, wow its no big deal! like its already been said.. sega were already in their first with a browser so you if MS are "stealing" ideas its from sega not sony or nintendo... it doesnt matter whether the dreamcast was out a few year ago or a million years ago its been done end of story!

im in two minds about this idea coming to the 360, as much as it would be useful at times i dont think i would use it unless a keyboard was released! no way in hell can i imagine typing in urls with the on screen keyboard

secondly i have a feeling it would be easier to secure but what security aspects would it then bring to the 360? i mean its probably possible to back up your saved games but its costly and i cant really afford to

i just hope they add improved codec support so i can watch AVI movies from my computer

you can already use USB keyboards with the 360 for text entry anyway, so thats a non issue.

As for security, well the wii, PS3, DS and PSP all have web browsers, and neither have had any security issues with the browser. Although this is MS, the same company who make IE lol.

I am a 360 owner and i would like a web browser on 360, and am not really bothered if they are copying ps3 or wii or whatever, so what, if it makes my xbox experience better then i'm all for it.

are we talking all keyboards? i mean i know my G15 works on a pc without drivers but not the media keys but is it basically the same? thanks for letting me know though, wasnt aware of that :p

yeah im aware of that but popularity attracts virus makers, and i think adding browsers to all consoles not just talking about the 360 could cause a few <<insert word the filters wont allow>> to start writing viruses for these platforms

and yes im behind a hardware firewall but in no means is this to say a software firewall isnt needed... i mean i actualy think it would be easier to secure a console then a pc as all software installed is known and hardware is the same etc but i would just like to know how secure is secure... and im afraid MS dont have a reputation for being "secure" with their pc software

How immature are you? Grow up.

And you just contradicted yourself. How is it "stealing" this generation when it's been in generations before? If that's the logic you use, then I guess both the PS3 and Wii stole analog sticks from the 360. Despite the N64 being the first "Analog Stick" controller thus Nintendo was the first. Obviously insane logic.

And when did I ever say I want a web browser on the 360? When the heck did Microsoft say there was one in planning? Honestly your logic is so ridiculous I can't even understand you.

And there's a reason people say "Sony copied Xbox Live" or "Sony copied the Wii controller!". Xbox live was the first ever online integrated system on a console, and the Wii's motion controller was the first motion enabled console. But I'm not even the kind of person who cares whether they did or whether they didn't. I think it's great that the PS3 has an online service based on Xbox live, it's better then them not having any. And for the motion crap, I couldn't care either way.

Oh and thanks for the insult, obviously you're reported.

Even though MS has had a bad record when it comes to security and IE5-6 problems, IE7 is a very good and secure browser. I've been using it since Beta2 and I love it. I also haven't noticed or installed many security updates for it, I could be wrong, but to this point since it went final months ago, It's maybe had 5 updates?

Whatever the case, IE for the 360 wouldn't be the same, it'd be more basic, and closed off, and the 360 OS although NT based isn't anywhere near as big of a target as a full Windows OS with all the APIs and services and apps installed on your normal desktop/notebook.

That said, how many, if any, security holes/problems have hit the browsers on Windows Mobiel/PocketPC and so on?
