PSP Online at Launch

[DeathsHand]

Don't think anybody's mentioned this yet (gamespot just put the story up today)...

5 of the launch games will have online play...

ATV Offroad Fury
Twisted Metal
MLB
NBA
and Gretzky NHL...

All can be played through ad hoc (like DS's wireless connectivity to other DS's in close proximity) or over the internet via wireless hotspots...

the sports games up to 2 players head to head, ATV 4 players, and Twisted Metal allows for 6 players at once...

This makes PSP the first system to offer online play at launch...

I'm curious how popular online play will be for future PSP titles... I guess we'll probably find out at E3...
