New Xbox 360 experience could have web browser!

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?

Exactly, and MCEBrowser is a bit quirky.

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

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:

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

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.

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 ;)

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.

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

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.

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…
