Well, sites are just gonna have to hurry up with the migration over to HTML5 then. There's already a You Tube app and ESPN app on XBL (although ESPN only works with certain internet providers), plus Netflix, Hulu, etc, so there's a big chunk of your video watching capabilities there anyway. Just sucks that you won't be able to view video-intensive websites through the 360 like GameTrailers.


But the porn, man.  THE PORN!

As if the RROD wasn't bad enough, now you want my poor 360 to contract a virus too?!?

Hope they make an anti-virus app for the 360 lol.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Why should your Xbox 360 be cleaner than me?

Because I'm not turning you on and playing with you every night, am I?

 

 

Wait... on second thought, don't answer that.

No flash? Well that sucks. I just assumed it would be included.



But it does support full HTML5. Which is replacing flash. Even Windows 8 Metro is not shipping with flash support. Alot of major sites including youtube are working to bring tere sites flas free over to HTML 5. IGN, Gamespot to.


Good to hear!

I've never even heard of HTML5 btw lol. I thought flash was just the accepted monopoly for video support.

Gametrailers pretty much sucks now since the recent redesign.

LOL yeah it does.  And saying it sucks is a huge understatement.  Their video player is terrible, and navigating the site is now one big pain in the ass.

Windows 8 Metro has flash built in. Adobe gave MS the source code so they could make it part of IE instead of a plugin. They may update the 360 version closer to the actual release.

Ah yes, I see Adobe finally got round to allowing them.

All to late though.

HTML5 is the future and I expect most sites to have flipped over by this time next year.

Flash isnt even something taught much anymore in Grapics courses in the UK. They still have a section on it, but HTML5 among others is worth more points to your grade.

In short, I think its pointless adding flash. IT would be great now for 6 - 12 months. After that, meh.
