So I know I have a computer for YouTube as well as my phone but sometimes while i'm chillin I'd like to get on youtube on the PS3, but the quality of the videos is really low, 240p and frame rates probably about 5-10fps. Just wondering if there is a fix for this or any word of a PS3 YouTube app or something in the works?

Thanks!

all you PS3 owners add me, PSN: Sun_Wukong

Haven't heard anything about an improved app. I don't know if anything will either, the PS3 browser sucks.

The few times I've tried to use the PS3 browser for YouTube it has frozen up my system. I've done other browsing, and overall it's pretty lousy. It's pretty much a super back up option for me. A YouTube App would be nice. If it worked properly I'd definitely watch some YouTube on PS3 from time to time.

that's what i'm saying, i don't even expect an updated browser, but at least a YouTube app we can access from the Cross Media Bar which lets us view HD vids.

I agree. It's a complete joke. Sony should have got these plugins sorted when they launched the console and also should have had a dedicated team working on these plugins. There are only about 6 plugins to be used with the Playstation. And as most have said, the Youtube "optimized" site is rubbish and buggy

Oh yes, this site works like a charm for ps3. Very good quality plus sometime you can even directly download the video to HDD.
