Oh nice, a pixeljunk eden one tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to both Linger in the Shadows and Pixeljunk Eden. What’s the rundown on Eden’s alleged youtube support? How is that supposed to work?
Hi there,
I\’m responding now, because I may not have a chance to while I\’m on the floor at E3 tomorrow.
The YouTube feature is accessed anytime by entering the options menu. You can record up to 10 minutes at a time, pausing and unpausing at will. When finished, you can export to your video section on XMB or direct upload it to your YouTube account. It will stay \’private\’ in your YouTube account until you set it to public.
It\’s quite nifty!
