AdhocParty for PSP coming to North America 'soon'

[wraggster]

Gamers in Japan with both a PSP and PS3 have been able to use the adhocParty service to expand their multiplayer gaming options for quite a while now, and it looks like folks in North American will soon finally be able to get in on the action as well. For those not up to speed on it, the service effectively lets you use your PS3 as a gateway to let you play PSP games with an ad hoc mode (like Gran Turismo or Monster Hunter) over the internet instead of simply with other PSP users near you. You'll also be able to make use of the PS3's wireless headset or PlayStation Eye for voice chat with the service, but you will have to make sure your PS3 is connected to the internet via Ethernet or a wireless bridge (since it makes use of the built-in WiFi to connect to the PSP). Still no firm word on a release date, but it will be a free download from the PlayStation Store.

Sweet!

Just so I'm sure, since the article makes it sound confusing. Can you use just use a wireless router, like you would normally do for the PSN on a ps3 or psp?

no the psp has to connect to the ps3 via adhoc no stops between

then you have to figure out how to redo your ps3 so its not using its internal wifi, hince using the wired connection (or sticking a WiFi bridge on the wired connection)

its well thought out
