Sony Computer Entertainment President and CEO Shawn Layden took the stage at Sony's E3 press conference to discuss PlayStation Network. The service will be adding some new features, specifically YouTube sharing later this year.

The DualShock 4 'Share' button will allow friends to quickly upload their gameplay footage to their YouTube accounts. It will also allow users to view their friends' clips, as well. Users will also be able to spectate their friends' sessions on Twitch and Ustream, with the ability to interact with their mics. So you can give your friend a hand or a gentle ribbing whenever you're both in the same session.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
