Porn on Xbox 360? Not a problem, says Microsoft

4.3
YouPorn did blog sometime last week, extolling the fact on how one is finally able to access porn on the Xbox 360 console, and Microsoft has been hard at work to divert attention away from the porn-enabling aspect of the future version of Internet Explorer that will arrive on the gaming console. Microsoft stated, “To be clear, we are adding Internet Explorer to Xbox Live, not specific adult content providers like YouPorn or any other specific website content. 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.”

Parents might think that this is going to stop a curious child or teen, but come to think of it, there are far easier ways to access porn at home or in the public without having to go through the rigors of the Xbox 360. After all, don’t tell me you have a home that has the Xbox 360 console but lacks a smartphone, tablet, notebook or computer? Surely that is not the case, so having the latest version of Internet Explorer on the Xbox 360 that allows access to YouPorn for legitimate users of a legal age is no big deal.

Qwikscoper I forgot to mention that I have the beta and when you go on porn sites it says you need the latest flash player :(

So unless these porn sites make it so you can watch videos don't expect to be able to watch videos. Unless you just wanna look at pictures I think your best bet is to stick to the IPhone/computer.


If you go on the mobile site the videos work just fine. ;-)
