Internet Explorer 9 is coming to the Xbox 360, according to a report.

The Verge, who has sources close to Microsoft, said that the new Internet Explorer browser will expand on the functionality of the Bing voice search.

The Verge said: “We are told that the browser will let Xbox users surf all parts of the web straight from their living rooms.

“Microsoft has also integrated Kinect gestures and voice control heavily into the experience, allowing Xbox owners to quickly search using the existing Bing functionality and pull up relevant web pages.”

No launch date has been revealed but an announcement is expected at E3.

Just in time for the Xbox 720, cuz the 360 is slow as *****e. Probably gonna be a watered down version anyways.

Am I the only one who doesn't care if it's on Xbox. Got pc's and smart phones for that. As long as it plays good games I'll be happy.

It's about god damn time, never understood every single console has browsing except the console owned by those who invented the Internet sort of, buzzing this linked with kinect will be awesome, hope it ain't rubbish like "Bing" on kinect, don't see the logic in that somehow.
#18 UnsellingNumber  Xbox News App 11:19 12 May 2012 GMT  
@10 what a muppet you are,who puts in pron for a porn search? You must be 16 and use mummy's laptop if you type pron instead of porn

#25 MrCoMMeNcEr  Xbox News App 09:40 13 May 2012 GMT  
About time not criticising Microsoft for this and not saying they copied PS3 but it was needed, high demand :)
#26 sLoShYwH33l3  Xbox News App 02:26 14 May 2012 GMT  
We dont need this on xbox because its gonna end up like PS3 hacked by some loser
#27 Aer0Smith1986   06:55 14 May 2012 GMT  
Sure took them long enough! IE will be a great addition to the 360, MS are wanting the 360 to be the "media hub" for the user so makes perfect sense. Folk can know watch/rent films, watch live TV, listen to music, socialise on Facebook/Twitter and now browse the web. Just hope the browser is better the Wii/PS3 😏
#28 Pogopat   06:56 14 May 2012 GMT  
I really don't need it on my Xbox. As long as good games on it.
#29 Elari  Xbox News App 16:03 15 May 2012 GMT  
It's a cool idea but like a few have said, it's not an urgent need is it? We all most likely have laptops / comps / smartphones so what can be so urgent to cut out game time to search the net on a console?

But like I say, I suppose any update with a new feature is still welcome, useless or not.
#30 Nevmandem  Xbox News App 17:24 15 May 2012 GMT  
Still can't beleave The 360 lanched without one. Better late then never I suppose.
#31 Sports king  Xbox News App 18:00 15 May 2012 GMT

#32 Jtexan  Xbox News App 22:39 21 May 2012 GMT

#34 Pogopat   19:38 25 May 2012 GMT  
Drop dead nameless loser.
#35 ThatOneLazyKid  Xbox News App 02:27 28 May 2012 GMT  
Ahhhh finally ive been gettin tired of my friends sayin that ps3 is better becuz of the internet search. So that leaves one more thing Make xbox live FREE but i dont mind
#36 wesker  Xbox News App 07:03 28 May 2012 GMT

#37 schauvin  Xbox News App 19:02 28 May 2012 GMT  
Due to the internet being on there I wonder what kind of antivirus is available for Xbox
#38 Spinal101  Xbox News App 03:58 29 May 2012 GMT  
Maybe we can download Firefox with it.
#39 The man.   09:20 31 May 2012 GMT  
This would have probably been a lot more useful when the 360, was released, back when a lot less people had quick Internet
#40 The man.   09:22 31 May 2012 GMT  
This would have been a lot more useful when the 360 was released, back when a lot less people had quick Internet on their phones and laptops. But still, better late the never!

Faggots with your porn! Go out and get yourself a girl
