Slaiv Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Does anyone here know the answer to this question: With the Sony Playstation Portable [hereafter referred to as the PSP], will it be possible to connect to other PSP consoles wirelessly without being in a hotspot? In other words, must you be in a hotspot in order to connect wirelessly to other PSP consoles, even if they are within 30 feet? Or will any two PSP consoles be able to connect wirelesly without being in a hotspot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I would imagine there would be a way to link two consoles via wire, if not the kind of connectivity you desire. However, this is just uninformed speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valdir Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 If Sony said the "hotspot" was 30 feet, it's really 8. If Sony said it was wireless, you're going to need an adapter. If Sony says something, they are probably lying. <_< ~val~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImmortalSnafu Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 If you have two laptops with wireless cards, they can create a mini-network between them without actually being in a hotspot. I expect that Sony's little monster will be able to do that same <_< . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorTheBlack Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Well Sony SUCKS! The Nintendo DS (NDS) will win the war! So what if the PSP has sightly (and i stress Slightly) better dev demos.All the money in the world spent on games development wont chang the fact that the NDS can filp down and protect the scrren. *Imagines* Buy PSP. Take home. Scratch Screen while in pocket* Starts :bye: now for the NDS *Imagines* Buy NDS. Take home. Folds in half to protect screen. Plays better games on an unscratched screen. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaiv Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 Personally, I think that I will like the DS better. But I'll still give the PSP a chance. Gran Turismo 4? Possibly a good Syphon Filter game? I'm game. The original Syphon Filter is one of the best games I've ever played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger of Symachus Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 *Sighs* The Nintendo DS will most likely not win. The PSP is what most people are getting more excited about. Even if the PSP screen does get scratched, you all seem like hard core Nintendo fans, so did that stop you from buying a GBA before GBASP? It had a "scratable screen". As for the Nintendo DS, it will fail. Though it will most likely come out with about 5-10 extremely good first party games, it will flop since it has two processors and screens. Most third party publishers hate having two processors, let alone two for each screen. I'm guessing that little fact will scare away about 90% of the third party game makers. Also you forget the first part of the name of this kind of gaming war. Portable gaming. That means it's supposed to be portable. Did you ever take a glance at how thick the screens of the DS are? Even when they are folded for "scratch prevention" they'll still be huge. As for wireless connectivity, Sony wants to keep the PSP's cost at highest at $150. I'm expecting there to be wireless connectivity (portable gaming, wires=evil) but it will have a very short range (about 10 ft. im guessing). This is all just a combination of my prediction on where portable gaming is going along with what sony said at E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zmid Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 OK, I don't know whether the DS will be better or not, but: *Imagines* Buy PSP. Take home.

sega02 Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 lol, Accually the DS has a guaranteed wireless range of 30 ft. and can go much higher in certain conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
