Posts: 29 | Will you be able to surf the internet with an xBox 360? Hello everyone,
I was wondering, will the xBox 360 be able to surf the internet? That would be an awsome feature! |

Posts: 806 | Why do people want to search online with consoles anyways? I fail to understand this.
Gaming consoles should be about 1 thing: GAMING
PC's should be about surfing the web, downloading porn, posting on forums and doing your homework.
If people really want to surf the web on the gaming console, what's next on the list? Search for porn? Maybe doing your homework? I can see it now: Mom: Hey Billy, make sure your homework is finished.
Billy: But mom, I'm in the middle of fighting the bandit king on Oblivion!
Mom: We didn't get you an Xbox 360 so you could play video games! Now start writing your essays!
Billy: *groan* Yes, mother.
Seriously. Lets keep the gaming consoles for games... PLEASE!  |

You could surf the net with SEGA's Dreamcast and you can also surf the net with the PS2 and the PSP right now.
However I totally agree that consoles are for gaming and pc's are for everything else & gaming

Posts: 806 | Yes, yes they are. Thank you. BUY A GAMING CONSOLE FOR GAMES IMO!!!
Do you buy a pen to scrape off the tarter between your teeth?
Do you buy a beer mug to put all your loose change in?
How about buying a console to vaccuum your carper and grill your hot dogs? Oh wait, Sony's PS3... Jinx... My bad. |
