Xbox 360 received a major update last week, one that, among other enhancements, brought along expanded voice control features to the Xbox LIVE service, and some more features are now available for users.

Among them, we can count the MSN with MSNBC.com app that has just landed on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Through it, users will be able to search MSN with MSNBC.com content for fast access to videos from MSN on a TV.

“Now through the power of Kinect and the intelligence of Bing on Xbox, you can effortlessly search MSN with MSNBC.com content from your living room by using the sound of your voice or the wave of your hand,” Niko Chauls, MSN Video, explains.

“Starting today, you can download the MSN with MSNBC.com app from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and explore your favorite web videos from MSN on your TV.”

The MSN with MSNBC.com app offers users the possibility to access content from Msnbc Digital Network and FOX Sports, as well as videos from StupidVideos and other services, Access Hollywood, original programming and more.

“With the MSN with MSNBC.com app you can explore and watch a wide range of content- including awarding-winning news from Msnbc Digital Network, leading sports programming from FOX Sports, viral videos from StupidVideos and more with the sound of your voice,” Niko Chauls continues.

When coupled with Kinect for Xbox 360, the app will deliver a great experience, that’s for sure. Those who do not have the Kinect sensor can still use it via text search through the Xbox 360 controller. The feature is available in all Xbox LIVE markets.

To get started with exploring and watching favorite videos, users will simply have to head over to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace today to download the MSN with MSNBC.com app for their Xbox 360 consoles.

We should also note that this is only one application that made it to Xbox LIVE recently. A total number of eleven of them is now available.
