Pandora or a browser

It won't happen. Sorry.

I don't know why Microsoft's console, of all consoles, doesn't have a browser. It hasn't happened and likely never will for the 360. Perhaps next generation consoles? As for Pandora, I have never used it but I hear that last.fm is better. Plus, there already is a music app and no way it's going to just be replaced.

I don't understand why we need a web browser. I have a Wii, a PS3, a blackberry and a laptop. I use the internet browser on my laptop the most because its the best browser out of all the devices I have. Second to that is my blackberry browser. I don't understand why you would type one character at a time on an Xbox 360 or a PS3 to browser the internet when there are so many better options at your disposal.

A web browser on a console is a waste of time and resources.

The reason for no browser? Why would you use the Twitter, Facebook, Netflix, Sky Player etc apps when you could access the full versions with a browser.

How many people would save their money on XBLA games when they could be playing Farmville or Dragon Age Legends on the browser. Hell or any number of free browser games available on the web.

Pandora will happen way before a browser will.  While this is a popular “wish”, MS has stated there won't be a browser anytime soon…

I can use Twitter, Facebook, Netflix via my PC if I wanted to and they would work much better and faster then a console browser or Xbox 360 App.

Also Microsoft doesn't want you to save money by playing free web browser games on your Xbox 360. They want you buying Arcade games and retail games.

the browser brings up problems but pandora would with out a doubt rock

Holy necro-threading.

A post so important that it has brought a 7 month old thread back to life.

you can get a chatpad for that, or do what i did and buy a wireless keynoard it works fine.

well do what apple did on the iphone (even if it costs alot) make your own browser! then restrict stuff like facebook and anything close to netflix.
