Britney comes to PS2

Britney Spears game rumours confirmed .. kind of

Rolling Stone has confirmed that, as we reported earlier this week, Britney Spears is coming to the PlayStation 2. The project isn't really a game though (or at least not in the normal sense of the word), as although it will feature "interactive games", the centerpiece of the title will be a DVD concert recording of Britney during her recent "Oops .. I did it again" tour.

Thanks to Enroute's FirstPerson technology though, PlayStation 2 owners will be able to rotate their view of the concert through a full 360 degrees - "able to look up, down, left, right, zoom in and out and turn around to see all the action from all angles". We suspect that most users will set the view as far down as possible and crane their necks looking up, but maybe we're just perverts. Britney is apparently "really excited to be the first artist to use Enroute's FirstPerson technology" though, adding that "it's a great new way of watching a concert".

Of course, in the case of a Britney Spears concert the best way of watching it is probably wearing industrial strength ear protection...
