A source inside Microsoft has informed Warp Zoned that this Fall’s Xbox Live Dashboard update will be available starting in October. OK, that’s nice, October is a more accurate release date than “this fall. But our source also revealed that, in addition to a new Windows 8-inspired user interface and a variety of Kinect control enhancements, the update will include web browsing through an Internet Explorer app. Internet Explorer on the Xbox 360, along with the new Bing Search, is apparently “very cool” according to our source.

Microsoft has announced a boatload of new features for their fall update, but Internet browsing has not been one of them so far. Sadly, further clarification was not offered, so it’s possible our source is mistaken. But with the PlayStation 3 and Wii both offering a web browser, this seems like a no-brainer for Microsoft.

I'm still undecided about the need for a browser, I mean I have internet on my phone, my laptop, my ipod, my HTPC and my neglected PSP, do I really need it on my 360 as well?

I may use every once in awhile but i doubt it. Would still be nice to have an option. Never know when your computer may fail.

i would like a WB on gaming consoles, i only have a old pc thats far from my room, and something like WB really isnt hard to implement especially on current and next gen console tech

something i would like from a console WB (besides the obvious things like it working properly *looks at sony's) would be able to access it while in game idk if wii has this but the PS3 doesnt. That would be good to quickly check things out like guides and walkthroughs, thats unless you have a laptop but arent these and next gen consoles supposed to be a full media hub?
