TechCrunch is reporting that YouTube is beta testing a new feature that will allow you to watch videos directly from your TV, via your PS3 and or your Wii browsers. Due to the lack of a native browser Xbox 360 users will be missing out on this new service.Information from the YouTube US Blog (sadly not available in Canada due to geo-targeting):
Have you ever wanted to just sit on your couch and watch YouTube on your TV? Well, now that's possible via YouTube for Television, initially available through the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii game consoles at www.youtube.com/tv. Currently in beta, the TV Website offers a dynamic, lean-back, 10-foot television viewing experience through a streamlined interface that enables you to discover, watch and share YouTube videos on any TV screen with just a few quick clicks of your remote control. With enlarged text and simplified navigation, it makes watching YouTube on your TV as easy and intuitive as possible.This is great news for those of you reading NextGen Player on your PS3 already. Now you catch the NextGen Player Team YouTube Channel direct from your Gaming Console.
