PS Vita gets updated YouTube app

4.5
Yesterday Sony announced that the YouTube app for PS Vita has been updated to version 2. Here are the highlights:


Subscriptions and channels: Now you can view and manage your subscriptions (including your subscription to the PlayStation YouTube channel), browse all videos on a specific channel and check out detailed information in the “About this channel” menu option.

Improved controls: We’ve added new functions on controls including Next/Previous buttons, a loop video option and the ability to browse videos while another is playing, making it easy to select preferred videos without interrupting playback.

Playlist settings: You can now create playlists and add videos to your playlists, including your Favorites or Watch Later lists.

Closed captions: Captions help deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers enjoy YouTube videos, and they’re also useful if you forgot your headphones and want to watch videos in a loud (or quiet) setting while on-the-go. Now you can display closed captions when playing videos. Look for the captions icon on the video thumbnail. You can even change the language of captions in the options menu.

Continuous playback: In the settings menu, you can now enable continuous playback, so your next video selection will start to play automatically.

PS Vita buttons: You now have the option to use the PS Vita buttons to control playback and menus, which can be enabled in the Settings > System menu.

Share: Show that you’re tuned in—Tweet, Email or group message your friends the name and URL to the latest video. You can also invite people to check out any channel on YouTube — like the the PlayStation YouTube channel — via group message, so they don’t miss a beat.

Improved search: You can now use search filters — sorting by upload date or duration, for example — making it easier than ever to find your favorite videos.

I updated mine yesterday.. it pretty much makes the youtube app much more convenient.

I personally like the vita (i have only owned one for 2 weeks now). The screen is the main selling point but things such as the dual analogs are great, especially for me who used the psp1000 for 4 years.

As for games. There are good games if you know where to look for them. An example of one is Persona 4 and Ragnarok Odyssey.
