Internet Explorer is coming to Xbox 360

I wasn't talking about Tom, he actually +1'd it and said "About time" in the skype chat!

I can't remember anybody who has a passion for hating all things microsoft, well except there was this one guy a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away but that was a long time ago. I don't think he's been around these parts for weeks. His name escapes me.

meh, not to keen on this atm but I'm sure i'd find some use for it once in a while

Can't imagine it'll be useful unless you have a mouse and keyboard, typing on the Xbox controller is notoriously ****

I thought about getting one when I first got my Xbox, but a £5 USB keyboard works just as well, if not better

I dunno why everyone thinks this is a bad idea - to be honest it makes sense to me - Even the Wii has a browser (based on Opera I believe) and the Wii seems to be far from a media console to me. It makes me think Microsoft is going behind again - I remember when I had internet explorer 6 and moved to Firefox (now a chrome user) - The big massive gap between internet explorer 6 and 7 seemed redicilous and lots of other browsers where well ahead - by the time it came out with tabbed browsing, trying to make it sound like a new thing for browsers, all the other browsers where even more ahead.

They are starting to be a bit more up to date by now and a browser on the Xbox will help them - I don't have one by the way, I have a PS3 but it's handy to have if it's there. Also handy if your main computer/phone etc. ever decided to play up (even if console browsers are limited)

It may come in handy sometimes.. Like when the laptop is out of reach

Yeah, or for example my PS3 browser comes in rly handy if my lappy is broken which does happen So it's a good backup for xbox users
