As we posted earlier, a new relaunched MSN Soapbox has been announced, and is available for trial for those who are in the Soapbox beta. In addition, a new version of MSN Videos, at next.video.msn.com has launched as well, and is available for anyone to view.

From the Soapbox on MSN Video blog:

Some of the Upgraded Features:

The Playlist can also be shared.
