'Hey ... I have that same
billboard in the back yard.'

Sony has created a new in-house division to sell ads within its upcoming "Home" virtual world, reports Reuters.

The new division will look at how to place brands within the world in a variety of ways. Some will be in places players would expect to see ads in the real world, such as on billboards.
