It's nice, but I'm not buying a BC-less PS3 just to play Dissidia online. (Yes, I know there are tons of games that are good, but I've never owned a PS1/2 so I kinda need to be able to play those games.)

@ShadowOdin of dubious snowiness: But I'd rather be able to play the previous installments of all the major series that are on the PS3. Also, I was not aware that it had PS1 support, but I suppose that wouldn't help too much because most of the good PS1 games are absurdly expensive now. #adhocparty
Nice. Now developers' constant fallback on making any co-op/multiplayer local wifi only can be changed to something that's more flexible for the average North American player. #adhocparty
I remember getting dissidia and being so god damn angry. Why the hell should I have to buy another freaking system to play online, with a handheld that HAS WIFI?
There's no god damn excuse! It's just trying to gouge money from you! One on one over wifi is too much for the PSP to handle? Bullshit! #adhocparty
@WhiteMage says fix the comments grr: Because Square didn't want to make an online mode, so it's not Sony's attempt to get money from you. It's just another great feature that the PSP and PS3 have when used together. #adhocparty
@WhiteMage says fix the comments grr: Cultural differences. Japanese gamers, aka Squeenix's primary audience, play their portable games ad-hoc and face-to-face. We western gamers, not so much. #adhocparty
@WhiteMage says fix the comments grr: The PSP has b-wireless. First step in getting "proper" wireless multiplayer on the PSP? Upgrade the hardware to g- or even n-wireless.
And you gotta ask yourself this: would you really want to play over wifi when you're riding the bus or train? The PSP is a portable system, but right now, the infrastructure needed to play multiplayer as you want it does not travel with you. In effect, playing with others on a system like the PSP is pretty much limited to passing the system around, ad-hoc wireless, or through Ad-Hoc Party.
If anything, limiting games to ad-hoc only is a design consideration rather than just bullshit.
I'd like to see true infrastructure multiplayer on the PSP, but given the limitations of the system and the infrastructure required for multiplayer, I don't think that that'll happen. Not in the generation, at least.
does anyone know what other games are supported by Ad-Hoc party
So far
Monster Hunter Freedom Unite
PhantasY Star Portable
GT Portable
Dissidia???? #adhocparty
@HeyMykie: I always thought that with Adhoc party, as long as the game had Ad hoc multiplayer, it was fair game. This is just me assuming though. #adhocparty
especially to those poor, lonely Monster Hunter Freedom Unite players
It's not THAT hard to create a Japanese account and download this, but it is awesome that NA is getting it, hopefully EU will get one soon! #adhocparty
Freedom Unite was supported by the Japanese Adhoc party. Anyone that cared enough to brave the tutorial guide pretty much got to play MHFU over adhoc party since June. It's sort of just convenient now that it's in English. #adhocparty

I CAN FINALLY *hopefully* FIND ANOTHER SOUL CALIBUR PLAYER.
It's lonely being the only sword fighter in a land of street fighters... #adhocparty

The PSP has Wifi.
So why the hell do I need a middle man PS3 to play Wifi?
Bullshit. #adhocparty

Wireless makes no sense, because it's portable.
But forcing you to have a PS3 where you have to be at home and around an extra 300+ dollar hunk of console to play, makes more sense?
I am not getting it. I just do not understand. #adhocparty

@WhiteMage Got a Star: Guess you never heard of XLink Kai?
[www.teamxlink.co.uk]
The most you gotta spend is maybe $20 for a wireless dongle, have a compatible wireless router or have access to a desktop and laptop.
Just one of those setups work and it'll save you the $300 for a new PS3
