Xbox Internet Browser?
« on: December 27, 2003, 07:38:00 PM »
No there is not one. And there is not one in the work afaik. BUT you can browse the net and such if you install a linux distro on you xbox. I find it to be quite impractical though because you have to make fonts huge just to be able to read them.

Xbox Internet Browser?

one big problem is that xbox dosn't support .gif pictures, so you'd have to write coding that allowed support of gif's, as these are pretty much the internet standard.
An xbox internet system would be good, but would also be very hard to do.

Hehe. I doubt this a reason not to code a browser. There are like 1000 better reasons why it will be hard to code a webbrowser for the xbox.
