The Assassin Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Microsoft's multi-media console is purportedly expanding its offerings once again, this time by adding Internet Explorer to the Xbox 360. Sources have told the Verge that a modified version of the browser will include Kinect functionality, allowing voice initiated navigation through the console's Bing integration, as well as motion-based gesture commands, although Kinect will not be required for use. In addition to adding another feature to Xbox Live, the inclusion of a web browser will create a closer resemblance between the company's console experience and Windows 8, which could be a useful tool to increase adoption for the upcoming PC and tablet operating system. A roll out date for the service has not been specified, although E3 would be an opportune time for Microsoft to make such an announcement.

Big Boss Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Heck if polio shots came with IE free, we'd all be crippled. Also, if IE comes on 360, it will be of no use unless Chrome or Firefox or Opera supports 360. Because we all use IE for one purpose, to download Chrome or Firefox or Opera.

dylanjosh Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Well at least they're giving a browser now, and tbh the latest IE isn't that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Stryke Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Seriously who browses on their consoles anyway? The PS3 browser was uber crap. I am sure the 360 wouldn't have the kind of memory either to run a browser well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope MS bring IE 10 instead of 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeehunter Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 The last I checked people aren't looking at IE as a reason to buy the Xbox. Heck if polio shots came with IE free, we'd all be crippled. To justify $60 per year on XBL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 IE 9 is much better than Mozilla ..Better than Chrome is debatable Really? I will try that as you will say that for any Microsoft product. Let me see if they have finally got it right after 9 versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IE 9 is much much better than IE 8 and is highly optimised (starts instantly like Chrome ) Has better add on support too Mozilla has just degraded compared to it's predecessors It's just not a coincidence that marketshare of Mozilla is decreasing and IE is gaining the marketshare which it lost a couple of it years back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 IE aint ideal but its better than no browser or a shitty one. In a perfect situation they would have an Android like marketplace where you can pick your own browser. Fat chance of that happening though with MS's hard on for shoving IE down people's throats. Having said that IE 9 is not bad. Not half as good as Chrome or Opera but its alright. batman & coffeeman, also ps3 browser is quite good If you have literally never used a PC or a browser then maybe its...nope, it would still be a POS.

Zeehunter Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 ^^ @Afty - The competition for Xbox 360 browser is PS3 browser Even if Microsoft puts a decade old IE6 it will be better than the PS3 browser Anyways who on earth is gonna use the browser when Smartphones have browser (even they don't have flash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty handy if you don't have a router, it's better post update, hentai flash games work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
