Microsoft Updates Xbox 360 Dashboard & Shows Xbox Bing Voice Search

Microsoft announced this week that they'll be enhancing the Xbox 360 Dashboard.  Not only will this reorganize the Xbox 360 Dashboard, it'll make it so that it's easier to use Kinect to navigate using voice commands.  Likewise, they also announced that it'll be much easier to view your personal media collection from the Kinect Dashboard.

IGN met with Microsoft this week to get a detailed demo of the new Xbox Dashboard.  See the video below:

Also announced today was a partnership with YouTube, which will enable users to view all their favorite YouTube Videos right from the Xbox dashboard. 

Voice search will be enabled using Bing Search.  For instance, you can now say things like "Bing Search Lego" which will bring up a list of Lego games for the 360, using the Bing search engine.  Below is a video demo of Bing on Xbox 360, as shown during the Microsoft E3 2011 Media Briefing.
