    And not just youtube. Alot of sites seem to be trying to kill PS3 users. Hulu is another that comes to mind.

    But anyway, every time youtube comes up it switches to the "Youtube XL", which I guess is supposed to be a cell phone version of youtube or something.

    You might think, "oh well - no big deal." I did.

    But I started to get the feeling something was wrong when I could find certain videos I knew were on youtube, and something about the quality of the video was off as well.

    So I clicked the little link at the bottom that exits out of "Youtube XL" and takes you back to the normal layout. BAM! Surprise! Youtube has disabled the search button for ps3 users! You can't use the main layout anymore!

    Well I'm reasonably crafty so I decided to use yahoo to search for the video and get in that way. BAM! Surprise #2! I get the message "This video is not for your device" or some crap like that!

    Fuck you YouTube! F. U.

    Well after some run around I did get the video to play but it was a pain in the ass.

    The YouTube XL without a doubt filters results, so don't use it.
    You're better off just using a search engine and even then it takes some effort.
