Independent online PSP network on the way?

While there isn't any official word
on the rumor yet, Xbox-Scene reports that a commercial online PSP gaming
network could see the light of day sometime during the second quarter of 2006. The founders of XLink Kai, the popular
tunneling service for the Xbox, and the one mostly used to hook up multiplayer-hungry Halo players, could be
planning a similar centralized network for PSP games. If the news comes out to be true, gamers desperate for some good
online multiplayer sessions on their PSPs will no longer have to wait for developers to include infrastructure mode
into their titles. Players will be able to easily match up with others through the service via ad hoc mode instead,
which means that we'll all finally have a chance to perform random acts of violence and cruelty to each other in
Liberty City over the Internet. Oh joy![image via nokonoko]

This is so old man and this can be done already with the use of xbc (xbconnect.com) which I use to play xbox games and psp games which are online. This is as old as the launch of the psp.

That's not what they mean; they know you could do this for months. They mean that they are working on a firmware for the psp that could play online anytime without a computer or anything, just through the psp. Now that would be cool.
