Watch YouTube videos on Xbox 360

While you can load up YouTube (and other flash-based) videos on a Nintendo Wii or PlayStation 3 (PS3), the Xbox 360 console doesn't make it such an easy task. You can use NXE with Windows Media Center to load a browser program, but that has its own limitations and needs you to keep on your computer. If you simply have Windows XP or similar and would like to be able to watch YouTube videos (or Google Video, or several other sources), then you can without Windows Media Center.

There has also been a similar guide added for Nintendo Wii, and a simple look at an application to download content from YouTube without needing to rely on web services.

How to watch YouTube videos on Xbox 360

The guide uses TVersity to stream directly from any YouTube URL you provide. TVersity will download, prepare and stream the content for you, where it can be displayed full screen by the Xbox 360 console. Some limitations can't be avoided, TVersity transcodes on-the-fly so a relatively modern (in tech terms) computer helps, as well as a broadband connection to avoid problems downloading from YouTube. The guide will work for any other web video you can feed to TVersity as well.

How to watch YouTube and Internet Video on Wii (Fullscreen)

Nintendo Wii has it's own browser, so it can display YouTube itself. Where you can run into problems is when you try to play Full Screen. Using the TVersity server on your home network can get around this problem. Recent news suggests Nintendo is working to fix that issue, but this guide will also cover content from other sites and sources (MMSH streams etc.), so it's a good look over for Wii owner with a wireless network.

Save YouTube videos to HDD

Any past guides we had posted that extract content from YouTube have generally used web services for the task. At least one of them has stopped working correctly, so we decided to add this very quick and short guide on using software to achieve the task easily instead.

According to MobileToday,Sony Ericsson has been planning a PSP phone

for some time but has been refused the use of the PlayStation brand, killing the phone off.

The brand was refused by Sony

, after the handset maker presented a pitch to the board last year. Sources confide that the refusal has caused a fallout between Sony and Ericsson, threatening the mobile phone joint venture.

Sony did note that they intend to license a PlayStation brand phone, if and when the company makes phones independently, seemingly asking for the end of the joint venture.

A Sony Ericsson spokeswoman ‘could not comment on what Sony has or hasn’t said’. She also Added : "In the past, we have been keen that our product proposition lives up to brand promise, and we feel at the moment the technical specs are not high enough to put such a prestigious brand on a phone."
