Blackley says no browsing
No internet browsing on Xbox!Gamecenter has posted aninterview with Seamus Blackley,manager of the Xbox Advanced Technology Group at Microsoft. Blackley explains in theinterview that there are no plans for internet browsing on Xbox. Here's the quote:
GC: There's no browser on this still, right?
S.B.: No! Nobody wants a browser on a game box. And I'm not trying to be down on Sega, but if you talk to parents whoare buying a lot of game consoles for their kids--oh my lord, they don't want their kids to have a browser in theirbedrooms. Are you kidding?
The HBO Spin: The lack of internet browsing on Xbox will undoubtedly pose a problem forthe online Xbox-Halo fan community. To view fan pages like HBO it means having access toa PC. (Ding 20:22:22 UTC)
