YouTube on TV via PS3

YouTube recently announced that they have launched a TV optimized version of their site at YouTube.com/tv. The Sony PS3 system also received a firmware upgrade recently that included Flash support for their internet browser application. Sounds like a match made in heaven, no? (YouTube uses Flash for their video player)

As soon as we heard about the TV optimized YouTube site, we decided to take it for a test drive. Our initial impressions were good. It is pretty cool being able to watch YouTube clips from the comfort of your own couch.

We put together a video of the process, showing you exactly how to access the YouTube TV site from a PS3. Enjoy!

This video was filmed with a Flip Mino HD video camera and edited with Pinnacle Studio 12 on Windows XP. The TV is a 42″ Panasonic TH-42PX60U plasma.
