YouTube Going 3D on the PS3

Within the next year, expect 3D content to be live on YouTube.

Mick Hocking is the Senior Director of Sony Computer Entertaiment Europe and is the company’s worldwide studios boss for 3D games. In a discussion talking about what can be expected from the P3 as it relates to 3D at a London event, he had this interesting statement to say:

YouTube will be supporting 3D content over the next 12 months as well – and you’ll be able to watch that on the PlayStation 3

Give the large amount of content available on YouTube, this bodes well for those considering exactly what content offerings they will have access to should they choose to go the 3D route. Interestingly, the timing on this works out well as YouTube recently announced Leanback:

Being able to sit back and watch 3D content, on a YouTube designed for the large screen would be perfect for PS3 owners, especially if we are given a native app to do it.

No word yet on any sort of integration between the two , but it certainly seems logical.
