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.

-NewYork- Yeah, because soo many people use this app -__-
Actually lots of people do use it, maybe next time you make a comment you can think about more than just yourself, also give it a good thought about how many people care about your negative opinions.

I don't really use the app unless a friend tells me to look at a video and I don't feel like going on my laptop but hen I do use it, it was mad slow. It didn't really bother me but it's good that they are actually fixing the problems that need to be addressed.

THANK GOD. That app was MEGA slow. Might make using it more desirable, but it can also be a major clue that it could mean that the 360 web browser WON'T be getting Flash. What needs would they have of updating it if it was just going to be used in the browser anyways? Hmmm? Something to think about huh?
