Gunners Football Comes to the Sony PSP
An Arsenal Fan's PSP
It is not often that Sony Insights delves into the world of sport for reporting news but in this case there is certainly an argument to do so. News has recently been announced that Arsenal F.C. (a London football team) has agreed a deal with Sony to launch an application specially developed for the PSP. The deal will allow Arsenal fans with a PSP to take the device along to games and use it once inside the Emirates Stadium.
The details of the deal between Sony and Arsenal have not yet been fully released but early reports suggest that fans will be provided with a special disk that contains information and data allowing connection to the Emirates Stadium’s wireless network. Fans will then have the option to study statistics whilst matches are being played but more importantly access will be granted to a live television feed as well as action replays of in-game events.
Arsenal are definitely leading the way with this type of technology, it is something that could have applications in a variety of different sports. For example, in the sport of cricket, a personal device that provided action replays and statistical information would be invaluable for spectators. That said, there will undoubtedly be reaction to the initiative. A pertinent line of argument would be that after spending so much money on a ticket to go and see a match at the Emirates Stadium, would fans really want to spend the entire time glued to the screen of their Sony PSP?
Time will tell whether this sort of system gains popularity amongst fans. There are certainly benefits to having access to action replays and live coverage in game but there is a strong chance that this could seriously affect the atmosphere at sporting events.
