A recently filed trademark from Sony may be good news for PSP and PlayStation 3 owners in the West, as better wireless multiplayer support on the PlayStation Portable may be in our future.
Sony Computer Entertainment filed for the trademark âadhocPartyâ with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office this week, the name of the service already beta testing in Japan. adhocParty allows supported PSP games that feature ad hoc wireless gamingâmeaning between PSPsâto use the PlayStation 3âs built in wi-fi capabilities as a multiplayer server.
adhocParty has been in beta testing since it launched in Japan last November, supporting hundreds of PSP games, but Sony Computer Entertainment America hasnât announced support for the service yet. When we spoke to Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi at E3, SCEA reps said a localized version was âin the works,â but offered no concrete details.
