Joost launches PS3 video site
Internet video service Joost has just launched a special PS3 version of its site, and we have to admit it's pretty slick. The interface is designed specifically for the PS3, using the D-Pad to quickly go through the streamlined interface. Holding down the X button will bring up a special on-screen menu that allows you to quickly switch between windowed and full-screen playback. It's all very intelligently designed and easy to use.
Joost follows the footsteps of YouTube, which also offers a special portal for use on PS3. However, we found Joost runs much more smoothly than YouTube, offering better video quality at a better framerate. Unlike YouTube, you'll see advertisements before your video, but the improved interface and quality make for a significantly better experience. To check it out, visit http://labs.joost.com/tv on your PS3 browser. Don't forget to hit SELECT if you want to add it to your PS3's bookmarks.

People on these sites consider that trolling.

Hopefully your last, you troll.

"People on these sites consider that trolling."
On these sites? Wth is wrong with you? This IS trolling. If some sites don't condemn it, then it's because they're all full of trolls.

i see stories all of the time that don't have comments, and i could say first, but its stupid, and you know it is. it accomplishes absolutely nothing, so get a life , and if you want to say something, let it be an actual contribution that might have a morsel of meaning or entertainment

Sorry but huh, no. In fact, that's one of the reasons I consider PSN > XBL. Advertisements in the videos Joystiq usually includes in their posts are already annoying, but at least you can close them. Now, advertisements BEFORE each video? That just kills it for me.

So you want FREE and AD-less content?
stormtrooper190 PSN= (im not telling you that) @ Jun 18th 2009 5:38PM
will it work in europe?

This is a HUGE improvement over YouTube's TV interface. The commercials are only a minor albeit necessary setback, but I don't think this has nearly as many videos as YouTube does.
Oh well..it'll do for now.
wallywallas @ Jun 18th 2009 6:12PM
I tried it... it's crap.
