YouPorn Gives the Thumbs Up to Internet Explorer on Xbox

Richard Walker

Suggesting users grab themselves a USB keyboard for quicker access, free porn site YouPorn has lent its seal of approval to Internet Explorer on Xbox 360, with an exuberant statement, encouraging users to sign up and use the service through their consoles.

"Gamers and free porn lovers around the world rejoice! Thanks at long last to the introduction of Internet Explorer for XBox, you can now tap in to and stream all your favourite free YouPorn videos right from your Xbox," say the folks at YouPorn. "Whether you're pwning n00bs in CoD: Modern Warfare 3, annihilating Bullymong in Borderlands 2, or taking the Saints deep in Madden NFL 13, you're never more than a few simple controller clicks away from being face deep in hot free porn."

You will be able to access all web services through the console, which also raises an issue for Microsoft and the family-friendly Xbox. "To be clear, we are adding Internet Explorer to Xbox Live, not specific adult content providers like YouPorn or any other specific website content," Microsoft told Kotaku.

You can however utilise the Xbox 360's parental controls to restrict access to dodgy sites, as Microsoft noted: "Additionally, we give members and parents the option to turn this feature on or off for their accounts. Access to Internet Explorer for all Child accounts is blocked by default."

The question remains however, will it be better with Kinect?

  • Oh dear......YAY!!!
  • Couldn't find a suitable image to accompany this post, Rich? ;)
  • fap fap fap fap fap
  • Haha! No.
  • My mind is telling me no...but my body...my body is telling me YES!
  • wow
  • Speaking of which I am on the Beta.........be back in 5 mins :)
  • oh yeah better with kinect XD
  • Nice to see a bit of advertising directed at us hardcore gamers ;-)
  • Well this caught me completely off guard, I don't know what's worse, the fact that I can't stop laughing or it's incredibly pathetic to know that for alot of people, this is a dream come true. Please Microsoft add a secret achievemnt for this. Pevert! Indulge oneself in the pleasures of the palm. 0g? I can't what to see what the general media think of this.
  • The amount of hijacked xbox live accounts from viruses is going to go through the roof... :|
  • "...or taking the Saints deep in Madden NFL 13" Huh huh...
  • @2 Surely it should have been a naked woman with her private areas censored with the Internet explorer logo and Microsoft logo lol.
  • Awwww yea Gamers and porn go hand in hand
  • Wow, just, that quote. Hilarious.
  • @14 - Maybe you should come off the 360 as well as your kids and learn how to learn English together... OT - PORN!
  • it's my turn to use the sexbox...I have just checked my calendar because I was sure this was an April Fool's gag.
  • no porn on my xbox.thats y I have a pc!
  • thought websites like that required a flash player though which IE xbox is lacking hence why atm when i go on 360achievements on my xbox i can't watch any vid's @14 60% of websites on the internet are of the adult type therefore just because you don't like something doesn't mean the other 7billion people on the planet agree with you
  • This is legit the funniest thing I will probably read today
  • @14 really uncalled-for. Couldn't you just take off internet explorer with parental control? OT: No way I'm touching porn on my xbox. Too afraid I'll get viruses.
  • @14, Chill out, you'll live longer. "You can however utilise the Xbox 360's parental controls to restrict access to dodgy sites, as Microsoft noted: "Additionally, we give members and parents the option to turn this feature on or off for their accounts. Access to Internet Explorer for all Child accounts is blocked by default.""
  • How is this news? There is "Thumbs Up" somewhere alright.
  • @20 it uses html5
  • Unless you can unlock achievements watching porn, I don't see how this is newsworthy.
  • Brilliant, best thing I've read so far today. Also for those complaining about how Xbox are idiots for allowing this and worrying about viruses, consider the following: 1. Xbox and Microsoft are nothing to do with this, Youporn or whoever runs it has basically said that they've optimised their site for Internet Explorer on 360. All that means is they've made their site compatible with IE 360, nothing to do with MS, so quit yer bitchin'. 2. Viruses point is even stupider, the way a console works is different enough to a PC or Laptop that even with a built in browser its impossible to get any kind of virus on it. Trojan's, worms, none of that shit would work on an Xbox, so again, should you feel the need to choke your chicken, there's no need to worry about getting viruses.
  • @25 so use it as a games console, is anyone forcing you to use it as a computer ? BTW do you lick windows ?
  • Also I'd just like to say, Hannibal King, I tried 3 times to read both of your comments, but the most I could take away from them is "I'm illiterate".
  • @ Hannibal King 88.. Seriously? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?? I'm agreeing that you should learn to spell, you've got the basic words and a couple of more complex ones.. But on topic.. as it's been said so many times before, if you don't like a feature, don't use it!! It's got parental controls, turn them on. There must be a big market for it, so why not?! I won't be using it, I won't be bitching about it either..
  • I'm curious, how did you actually find out about this news?
  • All i can take from you is im a fucking retard. Learn to read you fuck. Im on a touch phone
  • Not to be a dick, but I've got a touch phone and I can still spell and punctuate my sentences perfectly fine, if not better than when using a keyboard. Just cause you don't like it doesn't mean its stupid, try taking more time to put together a better point, rather than cursing every couple of words and complaining about how the worlds a messed up place, you won't look so stupid then.
  • wow this is funny but its really what a lot of ppl wanted internet on xbox for anyway still cant believe theres a article on this on a gameing sit lmfao!!!
  • BEST NEWS EVAR. LMAO!
  • @25 well some people, like me for example, dont have computers because we dont get everything handed to them on a silver platter. im on this site, posting this comment on my Xbox right now. i love IE on Xbox.
  • OH MY FKIN GOD. Really I mean Really. Is Microsoft hurting that much for that they turn to porn. Well i guess its time to retire my SeXBoX xD. Microsoft should just get out of the game business all together and go into the entertainment business. Seriously the 360 has no exclusives with the 1st mass effect coming to the Ps3 there is really no reason to own a 360 if you played all the exclusives a ready.
  • What do you have an iphone or one of them huge phones there. I dont . The point im tryin to make is you buy an xbox for games not to go on the web and watch porn. And parental controls dont work. How long do you actually think its going to take befor a kid figures out how to go around them. If my son can figure out how to wall around on cod or figure out tetris at the age of 11/2 then jow long is it gunna take him to go around the pcs. Kids now indays arnt stupid the figure shyt out faster than we do. And im not taking any chances with that.
  • @33 that is a really good question :P
  • @39 Try reading it again. Microsoft aren't working with any porn sites. Youporn has said that they've made their site compatible with IE for 360, is it really that hard to understand?
  • This site really needs a "block all posts by user" option.
  • i love my xbox360 and i love porn ! I'm down for this !
  • Burnout Paradise - Cum 10 Times In One Session - 20G Gone In 60 Seconds - Achieve Climax Within 1 minute - 20G Friends With Benefits - Perform All Activities in Coop - 50G Seriously..Durty! - Reach Level 100 and Collect All STD Medals - 100G
  • @14 Anyone want to bet his kids are as pants on head retarded as he is?
  • Hannibal King 88 4 prez. Good to see the grammar nazi bores out in force with nothing to add to the conversation.
  • ^word
  • its kind of dumb that they add this butnot add flash id much rather watch youtube or playgames on internet then fap to porn this really a bad think cuz now kidz r going to see this and start watching it cuz lot of kidz have adult accounts
  • none perfect grammars one thing but when messages are near impossible to read you really cant call someone a grammar nazi for commenting on them
  • Lol @ Hannibal King 88, you sound really mature for being a parent. What are you 18? Second, I think this is cool, it doesn't affect me as I always have my pc on. But for those who don't have access to one, this is the icing on their cake (lol).
  • *Facepalm* Well games and porn what else do you need?
  • @49, you can watch youtube on the xbox now there is an app for it
  • kid faping to porn mom walks in mom takes xbox mom tells kids friends parents,parents take xboxs kidz not happy
  • ummm....must be the end times....porn on xbox?
  • Really?? Porn on Xbox? Lol wow.. Hope I can use my Kinect.
  • They know all those nerds that play Xbox all day don't have a girlfriend.
  • @40. And yet you still have access to the internet that you clearly use? Internet has porn sites on it. That's life. Like it or not, that won't change, and your only option is to set up comprehensive parental controls or cancel all internet access you have. No amount of bitching and complaining will change that. The internet is not owned by anyone, it is not governed or controlled, the only exception is through criminal activity, which is then dealt with by local authorities such as the police, but the internet itself is still an unrestricted zone, and that means people can make, host and watch porn as much as they like. Again, if you don't like it, cancel your internet subscriptions. As for IE on 360. First, 360 isn't the first to let us do this, so there is a precedent already Secondly, the 360 was NEVER meant to be JUST a console. Microsoft were always very clear and open about this. They ALWAYS wanted the 360 to be a complete media hub, including music, TV, movies and, yes, internet access. You have no grounds to complain about this at all. It was always going to be added, and its presence, just like the presence of the other media and ads etc, don't affect your ability to play games. It is still a games console and it still plays games. It just also does a lot of other stuff as well. Bottom line, this is the way it is, so man up. If you don't like it, stop paying for your internet subscriptions and live, either way, if you want to continue gaming on 360, you have to live with it. Tough break, now grow up and stop swearing and acting like a petulant little child.
  • They should give free Brazzers membership for Xbox Live Gold players. Makes it worth the 20$ every three months.
  • all the commotion over porn on xbox and children and stuff like that. i am sure that microsoft will put parental blocks available for it, so instead of being intimidated by the possibility of your boobs and butts on xbox, take the time to look up how to block it from your kids, plain and simple. it's not like there will be advertisements on the dashboard. Microsoft made a family console and took every age group into account. i mean most games nowadays read rated m for mature: language, nudity, sexual content. so i mean in a sense porn has been available for consoles since the first GTA. so instead of freaking out, just stop being lazy and do research on how to block certain content.
  • @39 um halo ftw! owned!
  • im more concered about the privacy of it will it tell me if a friend is using this app or will it show my friends i am?
  • Oh GOD.
  • I never saw this cumming :D
  • @25,34 i use my phone pretty much every time i make a comment on here, doesn't make me illiterate, i think it's more likely your the product of an incestous marrige likley due to the fact your parents watched too much porn and though those vid's of a son doing his mum were normal
  • I don't want to see such an inappropriate, trashy news post on this site.
  • 10G - You just get what you want, huh? - Visit YouPorn for first time. 30G - I´m done, like alot of times... - Watch YouPorn videos for 24 hours. 15G - That was long and hard - Watch YouPorn hardcore videos for 1 hour straight. 20G - Just... embarrassing - Watch gay porn and share it on facebook or tweet it. 50G - You just can´t get enought - Become member of YouPorn Premium club. 75G - Congratulations, master. - You earned all the other achievements, congratulations and keep watching YouPorn!
  • It seems as though people are failing to understand that Microsoft has nothing to do with this. If you put internet explorer on any product it means that you can access porn, but that doesn't mean the company that made said product endorses it. From this article I have come to the understanding that it is just in the web browser, not an app, so why are people talking about apps? And furthermore, why is porn treated like such a taboo subject? A good portion of the world watches it, reads it, or enjoys it in whatever format it is in. It's especially bad in the US where sex is thrown at you at every second yet when you try to enjoy it you get slapped on the wrist. The US is probably the most sexually confused nation. Oh well.
  • The comments here are more interesting that the actual news post preceding them.
  • @40 You let your kids play cod? Now that is just bad parenting, now unless they are 18 and legal to play it of course but then they would be able to watch whatever they wanted on the Internet legally. Think it through before you start your shit
  • Gawsh, wait till FOX hears about this one!! lmao
  • Microsoft is leading the Xbox further and further away from gaming by the month.
  • @74 errmm the ps3 had a webbrowser at launch
  • The point's been made that Microsoft is not in collaboration with these sites, so breathe. Games are one of the top forms of entertainment and the Xbox 360 is and always has been an entertainment console, not just a game console. Microsoft is merely expanding into other mediums. Day one you could watch porn on the 360 via DVD and only now this is a problem because it can be found on the internet? Personally I'd like to see Microsoft continue to expand into other mediums such as books and manga. For those parents freaking out that their children may come in contact with adult content of this nature do you allow them to watch/play games or movies that are rated for adults? Do you discuss with them the difference between fiction and reality? Or do you expect the companies that manufacture these products to be the parent? Step up in the right way, talk to your kids, parent them, and maybe they will grow up to be intelligent functional human beings.
  • @61 really halo is that the best you got? zzzZZZzzz That is milked as bad as Call of Duty wake me up when they make Alan Wake 2. @74 fanboy much the 360 is the only console right now without a web browser. also @61 Give me a list of NEW exclusives coming to the 360. the ones i know of are Halo 4, 5 & 6, Forza Horizon & ummmm what else........
  • @40 The reason the world is FUCKED UP is because parents like you think its okay for your children to shoot people in the face all fucking day, but heaven forbid they see a nipple or two adults engaging in a natural part of life. Now THAT'S why the world is fucked up. We promote violence and gore, and hide our kids away from the very event that CREATED THEM. Maybe if people stopped acting like sex was such a big fucking deal, kids wouldn't be learning about it more and more on their own at younger and younger ages these days, hmm? Parents like you ARE THE REASON this world is fucked up.
  • You guys are all missing the bigger point here... can we use IE 360 to download Firefox ;)
  • Halo reach split-screen nights at my mates are now strictly going to involve me bringing my own control or hand sanitiser...
  • Some of you need to read -_- Microsoft isn't adding a YouPorn app to the xbox....its adding an internet browser. That's it. This article is simply a porn site saying "Hey, we're optimizing our site so that you CAN watch the videos on your xbox". Ya know, to bring them more viewers. This has nothing to do with Microsoft. For people like #40 above, who thought the addition of Internet Explorer WOULDN'T give people access to porn, you should probably stop playing games and go raise that IQ a bit. It's an internet browser. Your kids have the same damn chance of coming across porn on IE on their xbox as they do on a pc.
  • Owning noobs or moaning boobs. With some of the content/character design in games now a days, do we really need porn?
  • porn! porn! porn! porn everywhere!
  • Hannibal King 88 - You're the one that should have gone into the papertissue as a result of online porn, rather than into a woman
  • It is so obvious these posters only saw the words porn and xbox before responding. Stupid is too kind a word for them.
  • All is right with the world.
  • Can your friendlist see what site you're visiting? just like video's? haha that would be hilarious ^^
  • I have always called my xbox "Ms. Sexbox" now it's the most true definition of the word!
  • Better with Kinect was too funny!
  • I have a girlfriend I have no need for porn
  • unnecessary! time spent watching internetporn on my pc is the only time my xbox can cooldown,muahaha and girlfriends aint no reasons not to watch porn...
  • @90- I have a boyfriend and we watch it together.
  • @69 hehehehe. your comment is number 69, thats kind funny on this news :DDD
  • @93- I was going to mention that but didn't want to be bombarded with thumbs-down.
  • Oh god, Fox News is gonna have a field day with this. Christ.
  • To all the people raging about this, stop bitching about life and fap. It's our god-given right dammit! This is probably the best thing ever because I know I have my porn favorites ready after rage and frustration playing online games. And I'm pretty sure millions of people do also
  • I have a weird feeling a lot of gaming online communities are going to vanish.
  • I'll be damn...It really does works! Uh...didnt expect that.
  • Whole lot of new questions can come up when your tray gets stuck now.
  • @39 you wanna talk shit about xbox at least it has better games then the ps3 its selling more consoles and it has not been hacked like 30 times see you cant really say nothing because ps3 also has internet to where people can watch porn so dont even talk shit ps3 is garbage they have no good games at all that why the two handhelds been failing like the psp did and the ps vita going down in price next year how sad.ps3 just cant get on the level of the 360.
  • Well this......ummmmm......I don't even know what to say.
  • damn, my two hobbies were video games and masturbating... looks like i'll just be masturbating from now on.
  • 99% of us all will be making use of this and just wanna bitch to be heard, and the harder you bitchin the more likely you gonna be using youporn LOL =D stop being a bitch and go watch sum bitches bitch lol
  • Lets hope Capcom don't have anything to do with this, you'll get a girl with 1 tit, and will have to pay to unlock the other tit 3 months down the line. Even though the other tit is stored on your HDD.
  • Really not needed!
  • Redtube is way better, but I guess it's better than nothing LOL I'll stick to my wife and PC when needed hah!
  • @106 those both suck. PornHub is where its at ;)
  • I wonder what the status will be of whoever is watching this on their xbox? You know when your friends are watching NetFlix, or playing a certain game because it shows on their status. So if one of my friends is watching YouPorn on IE, will it say "currently watching YouPorn"? lol
  • Youjizz!
  • Its funny that everyone is bitching at Microsoft for this. One, they arent doing anything but adding Internet explorer. And two, doesnt EVERY other current gen console have it? Even most handheld ones? I could be wrong but..
  • what a joke.
  • @106 @107, both of those are crap. Anyway... I've just been laughing for 5 mins, :') Such a bizarre topic, expected it to just be something fake, XD.
  • I love my porn, but I don't know...
  • I really hope they can incorporate achievements with this somehow.
  • bring porn hub
  • @#108 It will most likely say using IE - that's all it's been saying since it came out=P @112 I don't find myself in need of that too often, so for me that's all I need=P
  • This is what happens when you try to turn a gaming console into a set-top box...
  • Next thing you know MS is going to sell dildo controllers...
  • Should of had some sort of intro of "Tired from gaming for several hours but just can't fall asleep? Visit Youporn on your Xbox 360 to get a quick one in to exhaust yourself for another big gaming session tomorrow!"
  • I don't know why I can't stop laughing
  • This is by far the best article this site has done. Bravo to all of you that made this happen. This has really made my day...
  • if you use kinect ms watches you while you do it
  • Soon to be called Porn box.. Yes
  • Xbox just got better.
  • I don't know if excited or dissapoint...
  • I didn't go on youporn but I did go on a few of my sites that I stream show on and ie on Xbox just says no flash
  • How does this even make sense since our browser doesn't have flash. Did YouPorn implement some kind of workaround? Is that even possible without the flash player? Porn will be limited to thumbs and picture only untill they give us flash. I bet IE would run youtube vids better than our app. Seriously can anyone even explain how this is possible without Flash?
  • @ 39 if you really want a proverbial beat down from a multiconsole owner like myself who knows that the PS3 pales in Comparison to the PS3 for everything other than it's exclusives, you let me know. There are so many things wrong with the PS3 as a whole in it's current state it isn't even funny. Do you really want me to bring up the multiplat problem that still plagues your system and why developers don't care to optimise your games giving you gimped inferior versions of 3rd party multiplats around 90% of the time? I own a PS3, and I hate it in comparison to my 360. It's only worth is a handful of exclusives I can count on one hand that intrest me. Seriously find another forum if you're going to bash 360.. you definitely don't want to debate with me on the matter. That's for certain.
  • Wow porn sure is popular, i'm sure people will have a mass debate about this.
  • Wait so MS is actually allowing this? Seems like they would be integrating their own site blocking mechanism.
  • Wait... I was forced to change my gamer tag before because the word pimp was in it. But MS advertises porn.... I have no comment.
  • MS isn't "allowing" anything. Not anymore than they're "allowing" it by not putting blocks in the PC version of internet explorer. Whether or not someone chooses to visit a porn site is entirely up to the user. Just because they don't specifically block it doesn't mean they endorse it.
  • @127 of course its possible without flash. flash is one of the best for the job but its certainly not the only way, they could use ms silverlight or media player since i would assume they will be included since microsoft will still want to allow you to view their content
  • Ha. #5 made me lol. @39... The 360 has almost (maybe more than) 200 exclusives, while the PS3 doesn't even have 100. Next time you make an account to try and convince people you didn't buy a useless console, get your facts right.
  • Eporner is ok. It has hd vids..just sayin... But another thing has anyone tried this at all? Since the xbox doesn't have flash player nor can download it. Hmmm im on the beta i guess i'll give it a shot and let you guys know if it works or not..
  • @10 Mad because your hands are broke (you haven't fapped in 24 hours) and you're having a friend type your rant.
  • Get them tissues ready people!
  • maybe a good idea!? you can fap straight after a rage quit to calm yourself down!
  • @138 Do you realize how many gamers will have sore hands then ? Especially COD players! Rage quit, fap. Rage quit 2, fap 2. Rage quit 3, fap 3... to sore to play!
  • @139 yeah true. COD players wouldn’t be calm for long, especially if someone was trolling them in the game when they returned :)
