I don't see why they shouldn't include Internet Explorer at least on the 360. I have zero use for a browser for my console because I can always just go get my laptop if I want to consult a FAQ when I'm stuck in a game or something. I find that more convenient that I can look at a guide on my laptop and play at the same time. And if I need a backup computer, I have my old desktop. But it doesn't hurt to have a browser available for the 360 right?
Laptops are a wonderfully useful tool. Who needs a console as a media entertainment center when you can just hook up your laptop (more lightweight than a 360 or PS3! My 360 power brick weighs more than my laptop. Power brick is like 6 pounds whereas my laptop is something like 5.8 pounds) via HDMI to a TV? I use game consoles strictly for gaming (and chatting with friends while I play with the chatpad accessory that you attach to your 360 controller).
