Microsoft has announced three new features coming to Xbox Live: YouTube, Bing search, and UFC media programming.

YouTube will allow users to, as you would guess, watch YouTube videos from the comfort of your couch. Bing doesn't add a browser to the console, but will categorize and list content available on the Xbox Live--including via partners like Netflix--on the console's dashboard.

The Xbox 360 will also receive Ultimate Fighting Championship media content, UFC boss Dana White revealed during Microsoft's Pre-E3 conference.

Additionally, the Xbox 360 will continue to be updated in order to allow users to search and use features using voice commands via the Kinect peripheral.

  Speaking of Youtube, I hope the trend gets stronger of games having built-in features to upload videos to Youtube. It's so handy in Frozen Synapse.
