I was curious to know.
Is there a web browser for the XBOX 360?
If so, can it play Flash 9.x videos?
The Wii browser sucks balls and since Adobe won't release an SDK for the OS that the Wii runs... well no streaming video for the Wii. This means no Hulu. And I am sad.
I would ask about a Playstation3 but I don't desire even one game for that system, where I would use the 360 for games. Just not often.

A little off topic, but does anyone else often have problems connecting to Xbox Live? I mean I don't even play multiplayer games, but if I want to brows the Online Game store or something, I can't do it unless it logs in. And my seems to be unable to log in about 25% of the time.

why do you need to browse the web from your videogaming system anyway?

A terrific question sir!
My wife and I moved into a smaller apartment and only have room for one PC at a time (down from 4).
It would be great to have a fully functioning web browser on the TV in the main room so that two of us could browse the web at the same time.
In another year we plan to move again and I will be able to hook up multiple computers. Also I will setup a house to have a media center machine attached to the TV. For now though, we are stuck.

Still, remember: if there would be a web browser on the X360, it would have to be made by Microsoft. What does that mean? Internet Explorer.
I shudder at the bare thought.

You should totally check out the IRC channel.
While you're at it, go check out my band, Her Majesty's Heroines.

What the hell is wrong with IE? I use it as my daily browser, I only have Firefox installed because some sites when I try to download something from them it needs me to use Firefox.

Damn it, lets not make this a browser war thread. If you want one of those, make one and separate it.
FNJ, If you saw my setup you would understand why it isn't possible given the space I have to work with.
Ideally I just wish that a gaming console could provide this utility to me.

One word: Javascript.
I've never gotten a virus from browsing the web besides Java-based viruses. PDF exploits, random shit being run on pages, etc. The fact that IE doesn't have java protection built in (after how many fucking years?) is simply idiotic and pathetic.
Oh yeah, and IE plays gifs at incorrect speeds (way too slow).

Now, take the browser war topic elsewhere.

The main advantage Firefox has over IE is that it has much more customizable options in the form of Add-Ons. I forgot to mention that earlier, sorry.

Yeah... actually isn't that what John Lennon said?
There's nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be in time
It's easy.
All you need is an HP Pavilion Slimline s3500f , all you need is an HP Pavilion Slimline s3500f,
All you need is an HP Pavilion Slimline s3500f, HP Pavilion Slimline s3500f, HP Pavilion Slimline s3500fis all you need.

Hewlett Packard makes overpriced, underpowered trash products for morons who like being ripped off. Anything HP makes, someone else makes a better version of at a cheaper cost.
