There has also been a similar guide added for Nintendo Wii, and a simple look at an application to download content from YouTube without needing to rely on web services.
How to watch YouTube videos on Xbox 360
The guide uses TVersity to stream directly from any YouTube URL you provide. TVersity will download, prepare and stream the content for you, where it can be displayed full screen by the Xbox 360 console. Some limitations can't be avoided, TVersity transcodes on-the-fly so a relatively modern (in tech terms) computer helps, as well as a broadband connection to avoid problems downloading from YouTube. The guide will work for any other web video you can feed to TVersity as well.
How to watch YouTube and Internet Video on Wii (Fullscreen)
Nintendo Wii has it's own browser, so it can display YouTube itself. Where you can run into problems is when you try to play Full Screen. Using the TVersity server on your home network can get around this problem. Recent news suggests Nintendo is working to fix that issue, but this guide will also cover content from other sites and sources (MMSH streams etc.), so it's a good look over for Wii owner with a wireless network.
Save YouTube videos to HDD
Any past guides we had posted that extract content from YouTube have generally used web services for the task. At least one of them has stopped working correctly, so we decided to add this very quick and short guide on using software to achieve the task easily instead.
