YouTube brings its TV channel to consoles

But not for 360 gamers

YouTube brings its TV channel to consoles

16 January 2009 14:20 GMT / By Verity Burns

YouTube is really pushing itself to get onto your TVs, first wangling its way through Apple TV and TiVo, and now through your video game console.

YouTube's TV website is now compatible with Sony PS3 and Nintendo's Wii - you simply have to type www.youtube.com/tv in your video game browser and you'll be able to watch a customised version of YouTube on the big(ger) screen.

The YouTube TV website is currently in beta across 22 countries and 12 languages. It features enlarged text and a simplified navigation to make watching videos as simple as possible.

There is also optional auto-play to enable you to watch related videos sequentially to save you from too much pointing and clicking.

Gamers with an Xbox 360 unfortunately won't be able to access the YouTube TV website due to the console's lack of a browser.
