Xbox 360 Internet Explorer almost unuseable

ArgeeBargee · Jun 28, 2020

I've just acquired an XBOX 360, unused and straight out of the box (yes it's been on the shelves a while!). I'm finding a number of issues. One of the worst is the browser. I'm getting continual website certificate validation errors on virtually any site
(including microsoft sites). It also tells me I need to 'enable javascript' to view content. I can see no way to do that. Is the browser fixable? Or do i take it that the browser no longer functions?

There's other issues I'll ask about in another post

Hi,

I'm not sure what you're expecting here. The browser for the Xbox 360 was released way back in 2012. In web browsing technology terms the browser isn't just old, it's positively ancient. It's only Internet Explorer 10 if I remember rightly. It was so late
in the 350's life cycle there wasn't a lot they could do with upgrading it either.

Websites have moved on with far more HTL5 content now. Content that the Xbox 360 browser just doesn't support. I'm not even sure how much RAM the browser can utilise from the Xbox 360's small (by today's standards) 512MB.

However, to get a new completely unused console is quite a feat. Just don't expect much for the media content anymore. You're better off using a Smart TV or an Amazon Fire Stick for that stuff now.

unfortunately, with time and age the xbox 360 isn't able to keep up with all the new tech advancements. nothing can help it unfortunately

Even updating the console to the latest version will not get that browser to work, there is some other browsers downloadable i think but not 100% sure on that.

Internet Explorer is so old and out of date that most websites no longer support it, as its on the 360 it will never be replaced with edge or newer.
