Joost launches PS3 video site

Internet video service Joost has just launched a special PS3 version of its site, and we have to admit it's pretty slick. The interface is designed specifically for the PS3, using the D-Pad to quickly go through the streamlined interface. Holding down the X button will bring up a special on-screen menu that allows you to quickly switch between windowed and full-screen playback. It's all very intelligently designed and easy to use.

Joost follows the footsteps of YouTube, which also offers a special portal for use on PS3. However, we found Joost runs much more smoothly than YouTube, offering better video quality at a better framerate. Unlike YouTube, you'll see advertisements before your video, but the improved interface and quality make for a significantly better experience. To check it out, visit http://labs.joost.com/tv on your PS3 browser. Don't forget to hit SELECT if you want to add it to your PS3's bookmarks.

The people behind Joost is the same guys who came up with Skype, and I for once thinks this is an awesome add on to the PS3 experience. The service have a wide variety of content (although much is garbage), but it does sport content like Punk'd, Heman and the masters of the universe, Transformers, Victoria Secret fashion show ;) .. ,and alot of music videos (for us that didn't get a chance to try out the new VidZone feature).

Sweet, I loved that Youtube did that for the PS3 and now this, it will make surfing the net on the PS3 even more fun

I'll check it out.

youtube has the same thing

It would do us all a great deal of good if you could perhaps learn to read.

Good news, I will check it out.

I am anxiously waiting for hulu to do the same. The current page needs me to be right in front of the TV.
