Xbox 360 YouTube app now 5x faster
In a post on the YouTube Google + page, the company said, "Achievement Unlocked: The YouTube app on Xbox is now up to 5X faster, and includes channels with official music videos."
Google has been aggressive of late in adding YouTube apps to a number of current game consoles. The app was released for Sony's PS Vita earlier this year and a couple of weeks ago, Playstation 3 owners could also download their own YouTube app. The PS3 version also added support for remote control access via a smartphone, but there is no such support, at least not yet, for the Xbox 360 app.
At E3 2012, Microsoft showed off Xbox Smart Glass, which will allow remote access to the Xbox 360 and many of its apps and games via smartphones and tablets. It's currently unknown if Smart Glass will support the Xbox 360 YouTube app when the feature is released later this fall.

Finally they fixed the performance issues with this app. Still is rather pointless for those with a computer.

TheyToque I think it was pretty fast before :)
It took forever to load videos for me before.
Really? I've never really noticed that...or maybe it because I'm just used to have slow Internet...maybe =P

Sweet!
I'll see if I can tell a difference later on today.
:)
I want them to change the typing format of it.. I would like a keyboard style of typing.. or a kinect voice search type of thing.

Wiz- Just use Internet Explorer?
Not all videos work with IE.Plus, if you were going on IE Just to use Youtube, then it's easier to use the app. If you were doing multiple things on IE, then wanted to watch a video, staying on IE might be easier so your not switching between apps.
The only problem i found with the Youtube app is the keyboard you must use, It's SO annoying. They need to change that if they haven't already in this update (I haven't used the app with this update Yet)
