Sony adds YouTube upload support to PS3 SDK

Sony Computer Entertainment has added support for the YouTube API to the PS3 SDK.

According to Japanese website ITmedia, the experiment is being supported globally and is designed to let developers easily integrate YouTube uploading into games made for the system, helping developers onto Sony's user-generated content bandwagon.

The functionality, which is being debuted in the free Mainichi Issho daily news and entertainment service, will allow uploads of user-created movies to YouTube directly within the game - making the PS3 the first games console to have official support for YouTube, according to Sony.

Um....wow?

[J@D]

double wow*

[Silellak]

Thirded.

Well played, Sony. Well played.

[Time Lord]

look at replay 2.1

[sonarus]

Well played by sony. Can't wait to see this implemented

[chaosatom333]

yessssssssssssss

[niall77]

im confused

[ianp622]

It means you can upload Youtube videos directly from a PS3 game. Imagine having a great multiplayer game with your friends and being able to save the replay directly to Youtube, instead of having to set up a recording system, save it to a file, edit it, and put it online.

[juuken]

...Wow.

[Nitrowolf2]

i had no idea what it ment either but reading 2.1 that sound amazing
now lets just hope youube doesnt not mess up the quality of the video badly.
think it will release near HOME time?

[killax3563]

Its up to the dev whether to include it in a game or not. Neat feature nonetheless.

[Expy]

It's called user generated content made easy and accessible. Use your eyecam to capture some video or possibly upload gameplay straight from your ps3 to youtube.

[Tmac]

Did this not come out of the blue?

[JoelR]

not really - just expanding their support. They already allowed gawker to devs.

[gano]

DAMN.

[Condoleezza Rice]

That Sony are pushing User Generated Content in the right direction,I can see this being HUGE once Home launches

[Jim Crowslaw]

Sony isnt playin around.

[juuken]

Fo' show.
In-game XMB may be sooner than we think.

[Says you]

Exactly do they have it on this article?.

[callahan09]

That's awesome!

[Shaka2K6]

So glad to be a Sony gamer only today,
kidtendo failed with his stupid gimmicks with 90s technology and microsuck sucks at everything.

Sony owns so hard.

[callahan09]

People call me a Sony fanboy just because I drink my morning coffee from a Sony mug.

It was a free mug, people!

[PlayStation360]

Bubble+ headed your way Callahan. lol

[skynidas]

Cool

[lociefer]

now THATS offering smthin original , sony FTW

[Mr_Kuwabara]

Doesn't the accomplishments have something similar to this? If you finish one a accomplishment, you can actually see a replay video on when and how you did it. (So I heard)

But this takes it to a whole other level...

[40cal]

This will be very useful, using videos to talk sh^t will be great.

[heyheyhey]

holy sh!t

thats.... unexpected, but cool

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

It's funny, you never see MS thinking outside of the Box like this. This reminds me why I own a PS3

[Tmac]

Aha, damn I'm gonna have to agree. This is pretty big news.

[heyheyhey]

yeah man fo' sho

good time to have a triple

[Adriana Lima]

awesomeness

[Xemnas]

Holy.....damn i can only read like 3 japanese Characters X_x i will still try to look into it.

[Meus Renaissance]

This is huge.

[coolcole93]

That's what she said.

[J@D]

Hahaha. That's pretty wicked > > > Go, go, go SONY!

[Kalail]

But WoW!

[sandip787]

dayyummm
this is living eh guys?

[heyheyhey]

upload b3yond

[Vip3r]

Wow, nice!

[TitanUp]

awesome! lol ill show everyone just how much i suck at online games.

[whoelse]

That's very cool!

[Meus Renaissance]

When is it coming though? LOL

[Fishy Fingers]

I always thought the video capture in Halo 3 was a great idea and should be spread to more games.

This opens up the much bigger possibility's, you can now share your noob-ness with the world much easier.

[Howlie]

One of the coolest and most original ideas since remote play

[Partisan]

A very useful tool indeed.

way to go sony

[DJ]

This goes above and beyond in-game replays, and has huge, positive consequences. Rather than having to own the game, or even own the system, replays of amazing moments can just be viewed by anyone online? And I bet the quality will be pretty damn good, at least by youtube standards.

Actually, this is a pretty basic idea, now that I think about it. I’m amazed no one else has implemented something like this yet…

[Spike47]

sony has suprised me again.

Any idea when we will get this?

[Xlll]

This is great news. I have a capture card but there are a lot of times i fine myself doing something or something happen that i wish i had the card running to record it. This is great news for PS3 owners and more so the ones that like to upload videos.

[aiphanes]

Even though my PS3 had to be replaced...your awesome customer service handled it real well...and it was all free and painless.

hopefully next week I will get my new PS3...and be back to playing the new games...especially GTA4 and MGS4 next month.

Its good to be a PS3 owner!

PS3 to Youtube?

Dang that is awesome!

You go Sony!

[Ri0tSquad]

First Dvix support for PS3 games and now Youtube upload support in newest SDK. Hahaha. Eyecreate 2 anyone?

[Kratos_1986]

thats why we choose ps3 coz sony is the best

[tweaker]

Polyphony Digital integrate this into Gran Turismo 5!!!!!

[jonboi24]

wow........this came out nowhere. a great idea that can be easily integrated into many games especially games like lbp (this could explain the extra month delay) that have strong focus on community. i can also see this being used for home except the vice-versa instead of streaming videos in you apartment from your ps3 you may also be able to stream it off of youtube or link videos from youtube to your apartment.

sony + youtube.....b3yond expectations!

[jkhan]

Imagine you can upload gameplay videos to youtube seamlessly:P

[zonetrooper5]

I love the Halo 3 saved films feature but this is looking sick, wish you could upload videos to youtube from your Xbox 360.
