that's just it. it's not a computer. it's a gaming machine. don't expect to surf the net on a gaming machine. that's why ps3 isn't going to win. it's not a gaming machine!

ms doesn't want to make the 360 like a computer. in fact they've stated that they're making this for gaming.

yes, 2 versions. silver (free) and gold (paid)

but dude that would be awsome that you can actually go online!!!

You can actually go online with the PS2 and surf the net now. You could also go online with the Dreamcast and surf the net as well. The thing is since we all have pc's and surf the net on them is it actually a worthy feature? Even if the 360 had this feature it's something I certainly wouldn't use and certainly isn't something that would make me interested in any console.

you can surf the net on the ps2 but you need a certain server to be up an running when that s not up you can't surf

Be cool to surf the net on any console.

pApA SmerF01 · 01-08-2005, 09:36 AM

i really don't see the point of surfing the net on a game, now i emphasize the word game, console.

oooh instead of playing any games, i'm going to fill my harddrive with crappy spam and spyware! YAAAAY!!! this is soo cool......you have a computer to surf the net, duh...and your gaming console is for games.

just another pointless feature on an inferior console.

Real Maximo · 01-08-2005, 10:10 AM

Pointles i would not say.

You don't fill any thing up when you surff or need spy ware ect.

When at night I can not sleep i can surf the net on my Ps2 with out going down and booting my PC up which takes ages as it is a old one.
So I can surf whilst in bed the lazy mans way.

well, i'd personally rather just talk to friends online, and kick some @$$ in the games. i don't need to surf the net on a console, i am much happier at 3 in the morning on halo2 in a custom game.

i'm just saying, which would you rather do, hang out with friends, or surf the internet?

Real Maximo · 02-08-2005, 02:00 AM

well I don't play live in bed at night desturbs the Mrs so I am just happy surfing the net instead.

But i am never happy uin Halo 2 any way I went back to it a couple of weeks and i nearly died at the amount of cheaters doing their superman jump.

Iron Orta · 02-08-2005, 02:31 AM

I really dont see the point in having the internet on ur console. It would just make it another HD for ppl to store all there porn on

lol

As for Halo 2 cheating, that varies from time of day and game type. If u dont like cheating (nobody does!) get a few mates together for a custom game.

You don't need a HDD to surf then net though.

Just not fond of Halo 2 any way give me Black Arrow as it is more my style of game.

Father Campfire · 02-08-2005, 06:18 AM

i personally hate halo 2. I think its a **** fps and online its just a cheaters paradise much like counter strike on the pc is. I hate halo 2 with a passion, would rather play black arrow even with its flaws or ghost recon 2 with its flaws as well.

jonnyg · 05-08-2005, 08:48 AM

i think that you need hdd to go surf on the net

the 360 is gonna be faster than any pc. its not just a gaming machine, wat about xbox live marketplace, or that u can steam videos and down load songs. u can make play lists to listen to when ur gaming. its not just a gaming machine, its an entertainment system.
