Sony Partners With FON For Free PSP WiFi Access In Japan

[x3sphere]

Sony today announced that it has formed a partnership with the WiFi sharing network known as FON to allow PSP owners to freely access the internet across 44,000 FON hotspots in Japan.

In addition to free internet access, users will be able to download PSP content such as game demos, XMB themes and wallpaper images through the service. In celebration of the announcement, a theme for Square Enix's PSP brawler Dissidia: Final Fantasy will be available to all FON-connected users.

There's been no word on if Sony plans to extend the PSPxFON service over to the U.S. and Europe at a later date.
