Microsoft’s launched YouTube, Blinkbox, MSN and Muzu.TV onto Xbox 360. The YouTube app will enable users to search for videos on the service, while Blinkbox users will get access to 10,000 movies with added voice and body Kinect controls. Muzu.TV will provide music videos, while the MSN app will push its entertainment content.

The new Xbox dashboard launched last week. Thanks, MCV.

Viacom appears to have gone on some sort of YouTube copyright infringement rampage, with the result that a huge number of videos related to the VGAs have been pulled. One of these is the official trailer for The Last of Us, hosted on the game’s own YouTube channel, resulting in a copyright infringement notice smack in the middle of its own website. Whoops. Sony told Kotaku it hopes to have the matter resolved shortly.

Microsoft announced during its E3 press event that not only will voice control be coming to Kinect soon, but the ability to search using Bing, and the ability to watch live television programming and YouTube on the console as well.

Speaking in this Electric Playground episode, Media Molecule’s Kareem Ettouney has mentioned that YouTube uploads are on the way for LittleBigPlanet.

“A lot of people in the LittleBigPlanet World are really keen on showing off how they made their creations,” he said when asked about upcoming features.

“It’s an obvious need. You go on YouTube and [see] all those videos. Let’s give the users a tool that can stream the content and put it on YouTube.”

It is fairly obvious, yep.

Current games that make use of PS3’s access to the YouTube API include PixelJunk Eden, PixelJunk Monsters and Noby Noby Boy.

We’ve asked Sony for an official line on this, so we’ll have that soon.

Thanks, LittleBigPlanetoid.

Sony’s opened an official YouTube channel for all things PlayStation, as you can see here.

There’s lots of video there and plenty of handy links to other Sony stuff, so take a look.

Thanks, Destructoid.

According to this Reuters report, YouTube’s confirmed it’s to start selling games.

Amazon links are to appear under gaming videos on the site, which will allow users to instantly buy titles through the retailer.

Revenue will be split between the Google-owned video-server and Amazon.

Loads more through there.

In a post on the US PlayStation Blog, Q-Games boss Dylan Cuthbert has outlined details of PixelJunk Eden’s Trophies, and given a decent insight into how the game’s YouTube uploading system will work.

“The YouTube upload feature is going to revolutionize how people share tips,” he said. “Up until now it has been limited to people with video capture equipment, but from now on, anyone can record their game and upload it directly to YouTube from within the game!

“It is as simple as pushing one button to start and one button to stop and upload, and there is no affect on the gameplay thanks to the power of the PS3 and its abundance of SPU processors.”

Loads more through the link. The game’s almost done, apparently.

According to this PS3F report, upcoming PSN RTS PixelJunk Eden will allow players to record video and upload it to YouTube.

The game will also include three-player co-op as well as Trophies and Remote Play support.

Looks funky. It’s out this summer.

Movie below the link of the YouTube PS3 thing we reported on last night. Take a look.

API has announced that developers can now implement YouTube functionality in future Playstation 3 titles.

This means that, as with Halo 3 and the forthcoming Ninja Gaiden 2, you will be able to record your finest gaming moments and upload them to the internets for everyone to universally agree on how great you are.

That’s what we’ll be using it for anyway.
