TGS 2008: PSP Store, Ad Hoc Party, PS3 bundles, and Home beta launch dates |
Ó
Here are the highlights from Sony's recently-concluded TGS 2008 conference. The big news here are the launch dates for some of Sony's new services as well as the new 80GB PS3 bundles.
First up is the PlayStation Store for PSP, which is all set to launch next week, October 15. This may only be for Japan at the time being, though, but we'll keep an eye on it.
Sony also revealed "Ad Hoc Party", the official name for their upcoming PS3/PSP service, which will launch on October 30. The first game to include this feature will be Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G.
There's also some stuff for the PS3 owners. The eagerly-awaited PlayStation Home will start its open beta before the year ends, while the new 80GB PS3 bundles that come with a DualShock 3 controller will hit stores on October 30 in Japan.

Care to explain what that is?
lets hope the big hype and wait for pshome was worth it.
Home Beta Launch date? does anyone see it? is this just me?
may be kinda like how you can play Lair with the psp but with games that support multiplayer so think monster hunter with up to about 7 or 8 psp gamers hacking away in one game.
It's a service that will use the PS3 to allow Ad-Hoc multi-player PSP games to be played online. Basically it's similar to Xlink-Kai.
It is playing Ad-Hoc only games on the psp over the internet through the ps3. It is not remote play.
Finally, I always dreaded using a pc to download things off the PSN..now atleast we will be able to purchase and download things directly off our PSP..
Will it work with all PSP games that have Ad-Hoc or just some newer titles only?
I WANT TO PLAY MY STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 3 ONLINE WITH THIS BADLY
ya i was thinkn the same thing myself. these writers need to quit putting misleading words in the title of their articles
You know what, that would be so awesome if we could play our old titles online using this...
I hope Street Fighter Alpha 3 comes out on PSN and has this feature too..
before the end of the year....
Befor the end of the year is not a date. "Whens your birthday?....befor the end of the year." somthing wrong wih this picture?
It just happens to cost several hundred dollars more
