SCEI: Ad-hoc Party for PSP Delayed

[x3sphere]

Previously scheduled to roll out on October 30, Sony's ad-hoc party service for the PSP has been delayed. The service allows owners of both a WiFi-capable PS3 and PSP to take specific ad-hoc only titles online -- such as Monster Hunter 2nd G and Phantasy Star Portable.

The delay was purely down to development reasons, according to the announcement made early this morning. Sony plans to pin a new launch date for the service in early November. No word yet on if or when the service will hit regions outside of Japan.

<p>I really really really want this feature.</p>
<p>Imagine how many online games of things like MK2 Mk3 Street Fighter Alpha, guilty gear, bleach, naruto that could be playable this way...</p>
<p>They need to release this feature on all regions and offer cross region interaction with it..</p>
<p>oh yea</p>

<p>Great feature! Additionally, there can be cross platform support for this. One playing a multiplayer game with a PS3 and his/her rivals playing the same with a PSP or even a PC. This will be amazing.</p>
