PSP fans looking to join in on Sega's latest addition to the famed RPG series won't have to wait much longer. The US release is just one month away -- March 3rd.
Phantasy Star Portable expands the world featured in Xbox 360's Phantasy Star Universe. The RPG is heavily rooted in ad-hoc multiplayer, with up to four players doing missions in tandem. The game will retail for $39.99.

If you don't have to pay a monthly fee, count me in.

Well multiplayer is ad-hoc meaning no servers needed meaning no monthly fees. Also Phantasy Star Portable is compatible with the PS3's ad-hoc party. Atleast the JP version of the game is. Either way this will be a day 1 purchase for me and its going to suck having to start over again.

This will be great for those times I am around three other people that have PSPs. . . i.e. never.

Yeah, I have one friend who still regularly plays his PSP but Infrastructure would really have been nice and would've made for 'MMO' style portable gaming like we've never had before.
As it is, I place my bets (now) on the iPhone to break that barrier.
Even so, I'm probably all over this on launch day - first time I've felt that way about a PSP game in a long time.
