E3 2012: Internet Explorer Coming to Xbox 360

Today at Microsoft’s E3 press conference, the company revealed that its very own browser – Microsoft Internet Explorer – will be coming to Xbox 360.

Xbox 360’s iteration of the browser is designed to be the first easy-to-use browser on any game console, and will be integrated with both Microsoft’s search engine, Bing, as well as Kinect. Microsoft’s recently announced SmartGlass will also be fully compatible with 360’s iteration of MSIE.

Microsoft Internet Explore for Xbox 360 will be available this fall.

Xbox 360 Rumor Points To Internet Explorer App With Kinect Controls Ads By Google » Blog Tags Today's Most Popular Videos »

The Xbox 360 is all sorts of Internet-connected, but a newly surfaced rumor suggests that Microsoft will be revealing a dedicated Internet Explorer app for the console at E3 2012. The app will also include non-mandatory support for Kinect gestures and voince controls, The Verge reports via unnamed sources.

It's not terribly different from the current Bing search feature that is available on the Xbox 360, though that limits results to just media. The IE app would instead be a full-blown browser. There's no word on when this news will be officially revealed, though E3 2012 is of course the most likely bet. As for release timeframe... assuming this is true, Microsoft traditionally releases major dashboard/console updates in November, around the time of the Xbox 360's yearly anniversary.
