YouTube comes to gaming consoles, but not Xbox 360
By visiting www.youtube.com/tv from either console, users can view a streamlined version of the site that makes it easier to browse and search through videos. The interface has bigger text and simplified navigation tools, videos can be set to go full-screen by default and there’s an auto-play option that enables users to view related videos sequentially. Check out a video demo pulled from the Sony PlayStation blog, after the jump.
Google says it hopes to expand the number of TV-connected devices capable of supporting YouTube viewing, though notably absent from that list will be the Xbox 360, due of course to its lack of a browser.

| OUTLAWXXX on January 16, 2009 2:29 PM | Seriously, there is no Browser for the 360 so the only
current way would be to have it's own tab or application
which would take a lot of negotiating with Microsoft...

haven't checked it out since the change so I can't say how
much better it is, but really it wasn't like it was terribly
hard before. The zooming on the wii really helps.

| zs450 on January 18, 2009 5:00 AM | Not havig a browser really is a lame excuse. If the system
can stream movies and Netflix Videos, A way can be made to
stream YouTube videos. MS may not allow it the way they
want, or Google may be unwilling to provide the capability
to MS as competition, but, there is no way they can honestly
say that the 360 can't get YouTube videos because of a
browser.
