Sony Europe have today announced that there’ll be a new YouTube application for the PlayStation 3. From today, the YouTube application will be available as a free download via the XMB, in the ‘My Channels’ menu under the TV / Video Services icon.
Sony say the new app is “designed for the big screen and PS3 controls” and “has search tools to find videos faster and easier, the option to sign-in to see all your subscribed channels including official music videos, and the ability to control the app using your smartphone.”
The app can be paired with various smartphones. “Find a video on your phone and with a simple button press it’ll play on the big screen. While the video is playing you can control it from the phone, or keep browsing YouTube for the next one,” say Sony.
You’ll also note the new horizontal / vertical format that the app is showing off in the screenshots above, which looks like it makes navigating the myriad of menus pretty speedy and intuitive, and reminds us of something you might have seen before.
Curious.

So will tgis still continually crash the ps3 and run like turd? Or is it now worth trying without fear of a hard reset and system rebuild?

The system rebuild message is bullshit. You can press circle to back out of that message and avoid ‘rebuilding’ the file system. It doesn’t change a thing. My PS3 has hard reset literally over 20 times due to buggy apps and games, I always press circle to ignore it and it’s fine…

no hard freezing as yet.
(once i pressed X for system rebuild, 3hrs later game on.
i now press O, although worry a little that i may do some damage.)

Nice to see it finally get here.I’ll install it to brighten up my xmb but i think i’ll stick with the vita version thank you.

Having a play with it now its well good saves having type in music names with ps3 pad just do it on iPhone then click send to TV then skip fast forward etc :) was simple to pair device to.

new?
is this some strange, revolutionary form of the word “new” i was not previously aware of?
you try finding a way of saying new without saying “new” o_O

hmm…
stop start, during viewing atm & can’t seem to select(fw-rewind) which part of video i want to watch, as you do on reg utube. Beautiful picture quality on my hdtv though.
intersted to see how it works, once account link is complete.

aha, up on d-pad, brings up fw/rewind etc.
hoping once acc link is done, i can search subscribed channels in reg fashion, but hey, it’s a step in the right direction.
