User-created movie sharing debuted in Mainichi Issho
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.

Could you clarify this a little?
Does it allow for uploading from games, so would be useful for 'games' that create movies (like a video equivalent of Music 2000 on the PS1 or eJay) or games that actively support the production of machinima?
Or is it for downloading and playing YouTube videos in the game, much in the way The Darkness lets you watch an episode of Popeye on a TV in the game, but with much more varied content?
Cheers!
It means you can upload and share video content recorded by the game. Not sure about machinima - it probably depends how the record mode is set up in the specific games.
umm how we use it i have miainchi i wanna know how to use it
You can't use this feature yet. The headline clearly says "Sony adds YouTube upload support to SDK". Fow your information, SDK means Software Development Kit, and I don't think yo have one.
You'll have to wait until Sony releases this feature on a future firmware update.
lol, I like the way you define the meaning of SDK (this is Develop, remember, most of the readers probably have a Sony devkit, and at the very least know what an SDK is!), and then think it's going to be released in a firmware revision.
If it's in the SDK, it means it will be used by developers. If it is used by developers, it will be in games, not a firmware update. The report said it's in Mainichi Issho, which is why "ding dong" asked how to use it in that game.
I guess the answer may be it'll come in an game patch. If the feature is already there, I'm afraid I can't help, as I don't have the game!
Rikki's right - Mainichi Issho gets a monthly update, adding new functionality, and the YouTube support was in the latest one. There are instructions around but probably only in Japanese; I could translate these but I have the feeling that 'ding dong' probably won't even check here again ;)
