Microsoft has unveiled a redesigned version of Xbox Live -- one that includes more voice commands, YouTube integration and live television.
At its annual E3 press conference in Los Angeles, Microsoft demonstrated the simplified UI, which can be navigated almost entirely through voice commands that will allow for searching through games and accessing online content.
Search on Xbox Live is now powered by Bing. Rather than typing in queries through the controller, Microsoft has opted for voice search. Bing Voice Search lets users flip through movie and game libraries. It doesn't yet include full web search.
Microsoft also announced that it has finally integrated YouTube into Xbox Live, making it possible to view videos from the world's largest video website. Microsoft already has Hulu Plus and Netflix on Xbox Live.
The biggest announcement though is the inclusion of live TV on Xbox Live. Thanks to Microsoft partners such as SKY in the UK, Xbox Live now live streams video content. One of Microsoft's first partners is Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), which was announced on stage by UFC President Dana White.
