While Japan has been kicking back and enjoying the feature for a good year now, Sony Computer Entertainment America has finally issued releases and announcements detailing the PSP to PS3 Ad Hoc Party will be made available in North America soon. Many savy North American players have already been downloading the feature through the Japanese version of Playstation Network but now the process will be easier to manage thanks to a local means to obtain the service.

For those not in the know, the Sony Playstation Ad Hoc Party service allows players to hook their PSP system up to the Playstation 3, with the console and software acting as a Wi-Fi bridge, pushing the PSP's ad hoc functionality through the Internet. This means players will be able to enjoy multiplayer with anyone else that owns a copy of the game through Wi-Fi instead of being limited to local players. As the PSP builds some major steam through 2009, this will open the doors for more multiplayer opportunities in the system's music game efforts, which, if you are an import player, provides for a wide span of titles including the expanded DJ Max series, Taiko no Tatsujin, Pump It Up, Audition and more. In the United States we have DJ Max FEVER, Parappa the Rapper, Gitaroo Man Lives! among other titles, so, what say you Bemanistyle users - will this feature get you to dust off some your older PSP games or bring you back for more PSP play than normal?
