For anyone that uses their PS3 or Wii for browsing Youtube there is some good news: There is now a version of Youtube's website designed specifically for consoles. You can try it out at www.youtube.com/tv if you feel so inclined.
"Have you ever wanted to just sit on your couch and watch YouTube on your TV? Well, now that’s possible via YouTube for Television, initially available through the Sony PS3 and Nintendo Wii game consoles at www.youtube.com/tv. Currently in beta, the TV Website offers a dynamic, lean-back, 10-foot television viewing experience through a streamlined interface that enables you to discover, watch and share YouTube videos on any TV screen with just a few quick clicks of your remote control. With enlarged text and simplified navigation, it makes watching YouTube on your TV as easy and intuitive as possible. Optional auto-play capability enables users to view related videos sequentially, emulating a traditional television experience. The TV Website is available internationally across 22 geographies and in over 12 languages.
So grab some popcorn, gather your friends and sit back and enjoy the YouTube TV Website."
I can't try it out at the moment (and going there on a PC redirects you to the reg'lar Youtube) so I can't comment on the design, but feel free to offer any impressions you may have.
