LollaPSPalooza!
Company: Sony Interactive Entertainment America
Product: Lollapalooza Content for the PSP
Doors to the summer’s biggest outdoor music and arts festival don’t open until Aug. 4, but the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system has a Lollapalooza fix for those who are counting down the days. Consumers can now download to their PSP system an event program guide, including Lollapalooza wallpapers, music clips, headlining artist bios and interviews featuring festival co-founder Perry Farrell and artists from last year’s show.

The program guide, available on the PSP portal site (below), will expand later this month with an artist schedule for all eight stages and a venue map. Whether you want to plan out which acts to see in advance or bring your PSP system with you to the festival to navigate the grounds, the program guide provides a convenient way to get the most from the Lollapalooza experience – all on a high-resolution widescreen LCD.

During the event, attendees with PSP systems will have the chance to win prizes, and the program guide will be available for wireless download.
