S.PORT brings replays to PSP

by Andrew Yoon { Mar 30th 2007 at 7:30AM }

London's Arsenal fans better pack their PSP systems with them when traveling to their next game. Sony is introducing a prototype streaming program called S.PORT which will allow PSP owners to see replays, stats and other game scores via a wireless feed within the Arsenal Football Club.

"It will allow you to check to see whether or not a player really was off side", said Eric Siereveld, Director of Retail Transport Venues at Sony. There's a lot that Sony will have to address before the program goes live, such as whether or not it can work on other devices. If the services proves popular enough, there's no reason not to expand it: "It could be used at any stadium around the UK, or even a golf match where it is sometimes hard to see the ball flying through the air."

According to Pocket-lint, a trial is expected to begin shortly.

Its a shame that they aren't bringing this awesome tech to the states. If anyone from MLB or Sony is listing, put this in Yankee stadium please.

ok Sony, make this work then bring it to as many venues as possible, and this is something you could keep propreitary and earn on.

Sneak preview: Number of titles won this season = 0

It'll be a blue flag flying high over Wembley. 4/4 is is still a possibility.

;-P

Realistically this won't be free really and who is going to tear their eyes from the pitch to look a some streaming stats? Half time maybe.
