Rumor: Kinect-enabled Internet Explorer browser coming to Xbox 360
The source tells The Verge that the new web browser is based on Internet Explorer 9, and features Kinect functionality, allowing users to search with voice input just like the Bing search tech used in the current dashboard. Users will also be able to browse the web without talking to it, reportedly.

iamiconz Hmmm... They've been making this web browser for how long? And we're just now getting it on the consoles? Sony doesn't make a web browser and they get one on theirs first? Seems reasonable.
It's because microsoft doesn't want web browsers on xbox for some reason.

Spark7417 It would be nice but what kept microsoft from adding internet browsing in the past was the threat of computer visuses. I could see the point in now having one on there that is why we all have computers.A 360 virus? PS3 has a browser and they don't get viruses. What's the threat to the 360 then?

Well what the hell do you expect? Chrome? Firefox? The 360 is manufactured by Microsoft so of course it's going to be IE.
