On Xbox One, you can record gameplay clips by saying "Xbox, Record That." And with Upload Studio, you can edit and share those clips directly from your console. Tomorrow, a new update to the Xbox One app will make it even easier to share game DVR recordings.
Updated with comment from Microsoft.
The internet is abuzz with the ramifications of what appears to be a shady, unethical deal to promote Xbox One on YouTube. A short-lived promotional campaign driven by Machinima paid "influencers" on the site for mentioning Xbox One in their videos. However, the terms required participants to not only be silent about the deal, but to ensure that they made no mention of Xbox One in a negative light.
The next Nintendo 3DS system update will bring Nintendo Network accounts to the handheld, Nintendo announced in today's Nintendo Direct presentation. This'll finally let people who own both a 3DS and Wii U combine their two separate eShop balances, and Miiverse is coming t'boot. Oh, and the 3DS is getting its own YouTube app.
"They really need to convert the vanilla Wii Shop to regular currency."

Fans that produce "Let's Play" style videos of Nintendo content will no longer be able to earn any ad revenue. The publisher has issued a "content ID match claim" on content that features audio or video of a certain length from its games. Offending videos will not be taken down from YouTube, but instead will feature advertising that will go directly to Nintendo--not the uploader.
YouTube user Zack Scott wrote an open letter on Facebook saying that "filing claims against LPers is backwards" and that because of Nintendo's actions, he can no longer play their games. "I won't because it jeopardizes my channel's copyright standing and the livelihood of all LPers," he added.
Wii U will launch with a YouTube app built into the system, but don't fret if you're sticking with Nintendo's original motion controlling console. Google has launched a dedicated YouTube app for the SD Wii.
You're reading this from a lawnchair outside your favourite video games retailer, where you've been camped out for a week awaiting the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. But wait! When that shiny box is in your hands and you rush home for your happiest moment of this year, take care that you don't get carried away and do something regrettable, or it'll be all tears at bedtime. Treyarch has laid out its ban policy, is what I'm saying.
Facebook and Twitter integration are so 2011, oldsters, social networking has moved on. Call of Duty: Black Ops II is being all hip and getting with the times, as publisher Activision today announced that it packs built-in support for livestreaming through YouTube, the hip and cool new way to do a social medias.
Although the PS3 internet browser received a significant upgrade few months prior, it still didn't provide an ideal YouTube-watching experience. Whereas Xbox Live members could simply access a dedicated app, PS3 owners had to jump through cumbersome menus to (poorly) have a YouTube-on-TV experience. Well, starting today, watching cat videos on your big screen is going to get a bit easier.
An official YouTube app is rolling out today on the PS3, available once the PlayStation Store updates. This is a "completely new experience, designed for the big screen and PS3 controls." As such, you'll see it looks nothing like YouTube on Xbox or Vita.
At Nintendo's E3 press briefing today, the company confirmed that the Wii U will support a variety of video streaming services. Those include YouTube, Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, and Hulu Plus.
Someone at Sony HQ must have gotten tired of watching weird Japanese videos via the Nico Nico app, because the company has announced YouTube is coming to Vita.
Vita will be available at the end of June as a free downloadable application. "With the YouTube application on PS Vita, you can watch millions of YouTube videos on the stunning 5" OLED screen," the official announcement notes.

One week into the launch of the new new Xbox Experience, Microsoft has announced a new slate of entertainment apps for Xbox Live Gold members.

[Update: 5:40pm] Regarding Twitter's possible return to Uncharted 3, a representative at Naughty Dog told Shacknews: "What we’ve discussed so far [Facebook and YouTube] is the extent to which we’ve planned and begun implementing social media/network features into U3." Of course, since the game is still in development, "that can change," the rep says.
[Original Story] Like the "Running Man" was popular in the late 80s, video game beta tests are all the rage in today's modern society.
