Whether that is true or not, PS2 and Xbox 360 packaging only say that an internet connection is required, making no mention of a requirement for web-browsing. It may or may not be a realistic situation, but it is a situation permitted by the printed terms of sale regardless.

Hell, that right there is probably why they don't publish console versions any more. Console players from before the S-E Account System were grandfathered in by virtue of having their User Agreement amended out from under them, but putting new copies on store shelves means dealing with people who have not yet signed away anything.
