I don't understand why this new feature is game specific and will not be available to all psp games. I understood why the ingame music is (the devs have to code in the abitlity to turn off the default game soundtrack). And I understand why the image capture is (the devs have to code in the ability to capture the image that's behind the game's pause screen). But I can't think of a reason why this should require dev interaction. The ad-hoc communication method for psp's are the same from game to game, so why can Sony just code it for the ps3 to accept the signal and transmit it to another ps3 online? If this becomes a matter of the devs enabling this feature then all the games that I currently have and would like to play multiplayer online will never get it. The devs aren't going to spend time and money to patch a game that's long gone its prime and won't make them any money. An we'll probably only see it in future releases of games that are considered "big" and not in all games.

I have Xlink and me and my girl have been playin PSP games like Untold legends which is Ad hoc only at a long distance since she's in another state right now this'll still be great when she moves down here she'll still be over an hour away but this'll make it easier plyus as you can see the headsets make it possible to chat and what not so your theory is kinda broken anyway look at the vid again

The green is very ugly though dont like that ***** doesnt fit Ps3s Scheme ya know

Wow, I didn't even know Sony was working on something like this! That would be so awesome to have if it saw a full release with support for all titles, and not just the ones that support "Ad-Hoc Party". It wold kinda be like an official release of Xlink Kai.

Sony and its partners do have to set up the lobby configuration for each game that uses AdHoc Party, same as Xlink does. Outside of that, though, I do not understand at all why this thing isn't shipping with dozens if not the whole catalog of PSP games. It's really not that hard to register and once the LAN tunnel is established, it really should not matter what game is being played, to the end user it's a standard interface and to the game it's just LAN communication being routed over the internet instead of local.
