Sweet ;D xo
(its now full)
Not open anymore jheezzz
Yeah it closed very shortly after it opened unfortunately, but I don't think you'll be missing out on much. :P
IE on Xbox is pretty huge IMO.
its actually pretty rubbish. the pins are awful IE is awful just as bad as Opera on wii. just worse. er not really any ova features i got windows 8 and this play to xbox with my videos etc and thats not even working yet so pile of ......
I don't know what you're smoking, IE on the Xbox is really well done, I'd say it's probably better than IE on PC, it's certainly the best internet browser I've seen on a console, I don't know what you're complaining about.
The pins are fine, they seem to take far too long to actually work but it's a beta, things like that could be sorted out, the new design is really nice as well, it's certainly an upgrade to the previous version of the dashboard that's for sure.
Had a little play with IE. It's pretty good, much better than the browsers on wii and ps3 imo.
I think IE has been released a little late on xbox, maybe even too late. quite a lot of my mates use their ps3's for internet browsing, they may have chose differently if xbox had that function from the start
The version of IE on Xbox is miles better than the one on PC, shame it doesn't have flash support but I guess there's not much they can do about that. The pin thing seems a bit pointless, but the overall dashboard definitely feels a lot smoother
I think the idea is good and well yeah its just another feature but something that should have been implemented onto Xbox a very long time ago, from what I've seen/heard it is a lot better than the similar features on other consoles.
