The latest issue of "PSP - The Official Guidebook" includes an interesting wee tidbit of information. The PS3 downloadable title Calling All Cars will soon be available to transfer over to your PSP, just like PS1 games. While there isn't much more information than that, currently, the magazine says that "comprehensive multiplayer modes in both Ad Hoc and Infrastructure" is to be expected. A release date will be available soon.
We think this is a great idea. The game definitely suits a handheld and, with full online multiplayer, we're definitely looking forward to getting it on our PSP. There's no word on how exactly it will work yet. Whether you will need to pay for it again or not is up in the air. Ultimately, we're looking forward to the day when you don't need a PS3 to download stuff like this for your PSP. Bring out that PSP online store, Sony.

seems like sony would get their act together and have all this stuff worked out. The PSN is a joke. Its at the point that I almost want to sell my ps3 just because the PSN is so bad with new updates.

This is good news and all, but it basically amounts to one step forward and two steps back. Sony needs to get their act together in regards to online. At this point Microsoft and the 360 are basically synonymous with online gaming and the longer Sony delays the harder it will be for them to get a piece of that pie. They have an amazing opportunity with the PSP to deliver unique downloadable content and they are squandering it with this totally unnecessary PS3 connectivity.
As a PSP owner, this saddens and frustrates me. Sony needs to realize that their current model of content delivery is broken, and they need to FIX IT.

But is the online multiplayer cross-platform?

Reply to Bored: I seriously doubt it.
Topic: I'm glad to see that CAC is getting ported and I hope they can do the same for some other PSN games.

Would this game be worth a UMD release?
Seems like Sony would more likely put this out on UMD than refine/fix their PSP download system.
