Report: Internet Explorer Coming to Xbox 360

Microsoft's multi-media console is purportedly expanding its offerings once again, this time by adding Internet Explorer to the Xbox 360.

Sources have told The Verge that a modified version of the browser will include Kinect functionality, allowing voice initiated navigation through the console's Bing integration, as well as motion-based gesture commands, although Kinect will not be required for use.

In addition to adding another feature to Xbox Live, the inclusion of a web browser will create a closer resemblance between the company's console experience and Windows 8, which could be a useful tool to increase adoption for the upcoming PC and tablet operating system.

A roll out date for the service has not been specified, although E3 would be an opportune time for Microsoft to make such an announcement.
