Back in 2009, before video game consoles became the streaming video boxes they are today, it was exciting to have any leanback YouTube experience at all — even a sluggish web app that could only stream pitifully low-res video from within the PS3's aging browser. Three and a half years after that initial tease, though, Google is finally delivering the goods: a native YouTube app for PlayStation 3. It's a free download from the PlayStation Store, and while details are scarce for now, it should support HD video, suggest search results as you type them, access video subscriptions from your account, and let you use a connected smartphone as a remote control. You should be able to find it later today in North America, with other countries to follow. We're grateful, to be sure, but Sony's mystery PS3 video service can't come soon enough.

Pretty sweet. Good for those who'll use it. I doubt I'll use it for more than just the novelty of it all, though. Just like the app for my 360 and Vita, I just revert back to using my PC and Smartphone. Still, it's free and more options is always a good thing.

agreed, it's not like youtube has porn on it.

I was so mad when I found out you need Gold on XBL to use Youtube, I'll welcome this free app with open arms.

The funny thing is you've been able to watch youtube videos in HD on the PS3 browser for a while now, just requires a 5 second work around..

yeah... but that still runs in the wb browser... if this one stands on its own it could work better.

sarcastic?  Wasn't it a big deal last year when they announced it will include porn?

Well isn't that a pleasant surprise. Good stuff sony, better late than never

Good stuff! I'm surprised it took them so long though.

That would be nice. Something like Porntube

The only thing I use the PS3 Internet is for dowloading Demos, PSN games and online MP
