On the evening of Tuesday, November 8, Joystiq will host a Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories meetup and virtual beatup to put the GTA:LCS ad-hoc multiplayer mode through its paces as part of our upcoming review of the game. If you’d like to join us, read on for details.

What: If we have enough responses, we’ll do a bracketed GTA:LCS tournament with prizes. If we just get a few people, it’ll be more casual.
When: Tuesday, November 08, 9pm ET till 1am ET (that’s 4 hours, so bring an extra battery, as the location won’t have outlets for charging!)
Where: At a bar in Philadelphia. Exact location is private, so post a response in this thread and an invite will be sent to the email address you use on the comment form. You will need to be 21 or older to get in to the location, so bring ID!
Chris Grant, who writes the games column over at indie mag Philadelphia Weekly, deserves props for helping us hatch this idea over beers at Joystiq’s Philadelphia HQ last night.

No it does not. But I am thinking that it will be possible to make a program on the PSP that will use a wireless connection in ad hoc fashion to pipe the PSP over the internet to other users using the same program and their PSPs. Only time will tell though...

Thats the way it should have been. Rockstar could have owned the PSP online world for a while, being one of the few titles sporting Infrastructure mode. But oh well...

It's been done. And it works.
