i hear xbox is adding a web browser, oh yea sony did that years ago also, and its free.

The Xbox 360 already has a web browser right now... and you don't pay extra for it.

Web browsers for both consoles are terrible anyways and no one uses it.

thanks i learn something new everyday at least you can surf the net and stream porn on the 360 now. and its about time they offered some online activity for free with out having to pay for Xbox live to use it. you dont pay right?

It just looks so big because of the guide button is on top not in the middle

Fair point, but their is a difference, SONY "couldn't" put in cross game chat cause of RAM limitations, which microsoft just never really advanced the controller to have battery built in.

So SONY couldn't

While Microsoft didn't

Take that how you like but their is a clear difference

The browser requires XBL gold I'm pretty sure, but so does everything else on Xbox other than having a friends list and sending messages.

Hmm there isn't much difference from the 360 controller.. I hope they do something about the fact your hands get really sweaty using Xbox controllers though, that design change would be nice.

It requires a gold membership. Therefore, not free.

Polygon are saying it about the same size, feels like the xbox 360 S over a complete new controller.

Material used is a different one, should see less sweat issues.
