Soon able to put your PS3 videos on youtube?

Unless your a bit of a tech head uploading footage of your games onto the net is a bit difficult, however a collaboration between Sony and Youtube will now make it a whole lot easier. Sony have now officially integrated Youtube's API into the PS3 which means if the developer is willing you can now record and upload videos directly from the PS3 to Youtube. Whether developers will take advantage of this remains to be seen
Back in March, we launched the new YouTube APIs and Tools, with the goal of making YouTube an open video services platform and available for use by any website, desktop application, or consumer device. Today, we are announcing a new partnership that takes advantage of the YouTube APIs in a new and interesting way.

We are happy to announce that PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3TM) has integrated the YouTube APIs to allow game developers to create games that enable direct upload of in-game video captures to YouTube. This YouTube upload functionality can be incorporated not only into new PS3 game titles, but also existing PS3 titles that have the ability to receive network updates. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. has added YouTube functionality to Mainichi Issho, a popular game with PS3 users in Japan. Gamers will now be able to upload their in-game video captures to YouTube. We're excited at the opportunity this presents and look forward to more and more games to be enhanced with YouTube

    So like were going to be getting something similar to Halo 3 where we can save videos to our Harddrive, and then we can upload them to youtube? Thats awesome, love to record my gameplays. Hope this is true.

    You can do this right now with a memory stick reader/recorder, but this definitely makes the transfer easier and more fluid. I think its a cool deal.

    *Is a bit interested*

    I could probably use this for one thing or another...

    I wonder about the resolutions though? Would it record the video in lower resolution then? Would it record the SD quality of an HD video?

    But right now, I'm more interested in the Play TV device making it to North America....

      Edit: Why the hell did i get a thumbs down? Play TV hasn't been announced yet for NA.

        I know it hasn't >_>

        Thats the whole point of my post. They need to figure out how to get it over here. There isn't any one service they can tie it to, otherwise they would already be planning it....

    The recording part is the only thing that is really interesting. That should be added in an update so you can do it in any game.

    I LOVE the idea.It'll make it easier for a lazy person like me to post videos of glitches/random occurrences etc. on youtube.
