Sony Brings In-Stadium Replays, Highlights to PSPs in Japan

Handheld devices are popping up in stadium around the U.S. more and more each season – whether it is Kangaroo TV’s FanVision handhelds already being used at a handful of NFL stadiums or the battalion of downloadable GPS-based apps that allow fans to share their in-stadium experience with others. Sony has now jumped aboard, delivering in-game video content to fans at stadiums in Japan on its PSP portable console.
