YouTube on your PS3…in Full-screen!
Posted by Ginger Kraus // Sr. Director of Promotions

Have you ever wanted to just sit on your couch and watch YouTube on your TV? Well, it’s now possible via YouTube for Television, available through your PLAYSTATION 3. Currently in beta, the TV Website provides a streamlined interface that enables you to discover, watch and share YouTube videos on any TV screen through your PS3.
Simply open up the Web browser on the PS3, and enter the following URL: www.youtube.com/tv (note: this link will not work from a PC or Mac, only from a PS3) and hit enter. Now you’re good to go! You’ll notice a new YouTube interface that allows you to watch videos in full-screen. With enlarged text and simplified navigation, it makes watching YouTube on your TV as easy and intuitive as possible. Here’s a helpful video that guides you through the process:

We’re working closely with the YouTube team to make a more PlayStation-centric version of the YouTube TV Website page accessible from the lefthand menu bar (the YouTube button currently takes you to our branded channel on YouTube). So stay tuned for that and in the meantime grab a cold one and sit back to enjoy your favorite videos on the big screen!

Happy watching,
Ginger Kraus

I just tried it. Pretty nice interface.

so you get to watch really poor quality pixellated videos on your TV

the new 720 content might not be so bad but the poorer videos will look horrendous no?

Point is, It's doable. And if the 720 and High Quality vids become more main stream, It will be great...ish

That's good, it's the only one internet link I wanted to use on the PS3 before and couldn't.

Hmmm, I'm sure when I bought a PS on release day it never worked

It didn't work at first, then one of the early updates got it going, then recently an update reduced the choppiness of playback, now finally we get full screen!

When I click the box to watch it in full screen, the video isn't full screen. Just has a huge black border around it, is that right?
